This is the second page dedicated to the properties of stones.

Obsidian: (Color: black): A type of volcanic glass. The obsidian is basically a stone of protection, although mirrors of obsidian have been used for scrying purposes. If you feel too many people are taking advantage of you, carry a piece of this gem with you to screen out this pushy energy.

Rose Quartz: (Color: pink): This is a quartz crystal with a soft, rosy hue. Another excellent give-away stone as it always encourages peaceful and loving feelings. It promotes beauty, love of self and of others. Set a piece in your home or office environment. When your children are having an argument or an especially bad day, have them sit quietly and hold the stone. Soon there are smiles all around! This stone is also excellent for a friend or family member who is experiencing profound grief over the loss of a loved one.

Smokey Quartz: (Color: translucent grey/black): This stone is clear quartz that looks like it has been infused with a heavy dose of soot. It is another energy generator and a protective stone.

Sodalite: (Color: deep blue with strands of white): Often confused with lapis lazuli. An excellent stress reducer, this stone enables you to go through the day without being affected by minor upheavals or emotional turmoil. It is also a good meditative stone, especially when teaching adults.

Sunstone: (Color: tangerine): Native to Oregon. This stone looks like a slice of an orange, and even feels like one! It is an energizer and a cellular healing stone. It is also associated with the Sun and the element of Fire, and used in cancer recovery.

Tiger Eye: (Color: honey-brown with banded tints): This is a stone of luck and fortune, but it is also known for its truth-discerning abilities. It is a stone of honesty. Anyone attempting to lie to you while you are carrying this stone better be careful, as his cloak will be removed. Often others will blurt the truth or you will find out in the same day that you have been deceived. Veil's are lifted with this stone. It also assists in accurate judgement calls. Falcon's Eye is a danish blue in color. It is not as outgoing as the brown version but it is very effective in situations you believe have zoomed way off their mark. It will draw you to a more sure-footed path and back in control.

Turquoise: (Color: baby blue): Looks like baby blue bubble gum. A highly absorbent stone, it drains in color if in contact with your flesh over a period where you are in a highly stressed mood. Turquoise is the "speaking stone". It enhances verbal communication and allows thoughts to flow in perfect sentences. If you are nervous about giving a speech or presentation, wear turquoise around the throat. Turquoise is considered to enhance love, health and happiness, as well as functioning as a protector of the spirit.
