HOW ARE CRYSTALS DIFFERENT FROM STONES?

This week's blog is about crystals ... I thought it was an appropriate topic because next week I am starting a Crystals 101 course.
A lot of people are not sure what crystals are ... so let's talk about the difference between crystals and stones that you find in the garden.

What are crystals? All crystals are minerals, but not all minerals are crystals.
So, what’s a mineral? All minerals follow this mnemonic device: SNIFC

• Solid -at normal Earth temps it occurs in a solid state
• Naturally occurring (unlike man made: strawberry quartz; which is not quartz at all, this is simply a man-made glass, synthetic diamonds, aura quartz, etc.)
• Inorganic (unlike amber, coral, jet or other petrified wood which are organic since they all came from a living thing)
• Formula – it has a chemical formula that never varies (for example quartz’ formula is SiO2)
• Crystalline - its molecules are arranged in an orderly repeating geometric pattern…that’s what “crystalline” means (unlike obsidian, which is a volcanic glass…not crystalline at all)
  

Crystals are different from stones because they have a repeating crystalline molecular pattern which is easily seen in the larger form: fluorite, quartz, garnet…so they look like a crystal!
Did you know that you can use crystals by wearing them, putting them under your bed or drinking their vibrational essence for all these conditions and issues?
* Pain
* Anxiety
* Protection
* Balancing emotions
* Fear
* Worry
* Safety
* Focus
* Healing the heart
* Manifesting your desires
and much more ...

If you want to learn more maybe you could join the 5-week Crystals 101 course that starts on Tuesday nights @7pm-8.30pm at Mitchell House, Wonthaggi.  It's $20 casual price per class ($17 concession).
Give me a call 0437 670 820 to book or ask me questions.
