But here we are addressing the quartz crystal. They've adorned the garments and jewelry of Kings and Queens since their discovery by early mankind.

The main issue with the quartz crystal is its versatility and vast number of applications.

There are an extreme number of practices and rituals concerning the use of the crystal, that also go back centuries.

They have a vast number of mystical associations and can vary from the most creative to the most destructive ends.

They can be boiled in water and mildly consumed to cure illnesses.

They can be energized by their owner then buried in the earth to dispel unwanted feelings or thoughts.

They are used to thwart off evil spells and to create them also.

They can be given to someone you want to fall in love with you or given to an enemy to harm them.

For pretty much any reason depending on your desires for the use of the crystal.

By today's standards the quartz crystal is probably the most widely applied stone for the use of magical or mystical purposes.

Its numbers are so vast that a person could write and entire book on this stone, alone, as I'm sure many have already.

Once again the powers of this stone are probably the most highly acknowledged stone that is on the planet today, aside from the diamond.

Of course there's the famous crystal ball that are used by mediums, psychics and seers, and have been for centuries, to look into the past present and future for guidance as well

 as personal, military or any other kind of advantages.The quartz crystal is not associated to a birthstone month.

Pearl: One of the most venerated gemstones in history the pearl has been mentioned and shown in artwork for centuries also.

Known to be very feminine in its nature.The pearl's values date back prior to biblical times and the first references of it are actually found in China.

With close associations to the planetary aspect of Luna the pearl has many positive as well as feminine aspects that have been mentionedthroughout time also.

Created in the water (both salt and fresh water) the pearl has direct feminine/watery associations that go hand in hand with not only it's creation but also its known uses

 throughout history.

 There are, however, the facts surrounding the cultivation of pearls that cannot be overlooked as the acquisition of a pearl involves the killing of a pretty large amount of clams

and oysters, just to find the one pearl.

This killing is considered to have karmic associations in some cultures that suggest the person or people that harvest the pearls on a large scalewill have repercussions for this

 constant killing of so many for so few actual pearls. Although, there are several other forms of sea and fresh water creatures, such as conches and mollusks that create pearls.

The pearls that have been acclaimed as highly valuable gemstones are more commonly found in the salt-water oceans of the world.

Also used widely in magical operations for the purposes related to, but not limited to anything having to do with the Lunar/female nature and also luck, fortune, fertility, love

and are far more commonly worn by women than men, historically.Pearl is a precious birthstone for June in modern birthstones.


Moonstone: The Moonstone has been thought to be endowed with mystical properties due mainly to the fact that when viewed with the human eye it appears that light is

coming from beneath the surface of the stone, forward to the eye.It's a phenomenon that's created by the molecular structure of the stone.

An optical phenomenon called adularescence which appears, as stated, to originate from beneath the surface, forward and also seems to move as the stone is turned creating an

 effect much like the light of the moon on the surface of the water.
