Gemstones are prized for more than just their monetary value. They have spiritual, metaphysical and medical values. Okay, I admit it, in these tough economic times, it wouldn't hurt to cash in on a diamond, ruby or emerald but we're talking more about inner peace and overall health.
A lot of books say that gemstones have to be so big, so clear, be of the best cut, spherical, placed exactly so, etc. in order to work. I COMPLETELY disagree. All gemstones have energy and emit vibrations. Some of my most powerful gemstones are still in their raw state.
There are many ways to clean and energize your crystals - there is no one way - but some stones should be handled differently than others. Some shouldn't get wet, while others are too fragile to handle. Some can be cleaned and recharged in the sunlight while some should avoid direct sunlight at all costs!
You can make elixirs by moonlight or purify your water with clear quartz. Some stones cleanse other stones or even boost their vibrations. And some stones are like children - don't put them together unless you enjoy headaches! I remember helping a friend with the gemstones in her store. She wanted them all to be placed next to each other alphabetically so customers could find them easily, but my head was pounding by the time I was done. Just like children each has its own personality and will emit their own vibration which may or may not be in harmony with the stones next to them. But just like children, their vibrations settle down when they realize there is no where else to go and can't have things their own way!
