Everyday Gems and Minerals for Healing and Meditation
These gems and minerals are pretty common to find (if you've got yourself some jewelry and want to know what's on your hand and how it's affecting you) These gems and minerals are also good to place on your alter, wear on your person or meditate with. I hope to add some more common and not so common minerals/gems soon. Until then, here's what I got�

harmony, sensitivity, loyalty, and creates a feeling of bliss. Strengthens memory.

HEMATITE:
Hematite's mission is to connect our spirit into the body. It has the ability
to keep all of the subtle bodies connected to the physical body and has been
called the "jet lag" stone. Use when healing/treating diseases like
aids, cancer, kidney and liver problems, or any toxic condition. It assists
healing our shadow side of the self that we often refuse to face. Hematite promotes
non-aggression and peach. Enhances optimism and peace. It's shiny surface forms
a reflective shield for negativity to bounce off. However, if the negative source
is coming from YOU, it will reflect back to you. Best used in healing magick
and to create inner/outer peace.

gems. Pearl can balance the emotions and increase tolerance and flexibility.

Rose Quartz is known as the stone of love, compassion, and forgiveness. It brings
one into a state of personal peace, allowing one to live fully in the present
moment. It is a balancing stone. Its pink color resonates warmth and love. It
helps all types of lonely and deprived souls. Especially good for children and
those who needed love when they were little children. The rose energy flows
in with the circulation of the heart vessels. Small pieces can be calming and
healing in all aggressive conditions. Personal issues that are very often at
the root of emotional and mental tensions can be eased with rose quartz in meditation.

healing and clarity to the heart and allows the wearer to learn to trust again.
