I fashioned this ring today. The stone is small but the energy is great. Today a few miracles happened. I'm starting to believe in turquoise!

My BF has Saturn in the 9th and he thinks turquoise brings him luck! He doesn't like confessing it but I know he thinks that!

One of my older cousins got her turquoise ring and has his wife wear it. My grandma had 4 boys and 11 grandkids. I’m number 10 so I did not get any of her jewelry. But that is not what matters to me. Oh man but one of my other cousins was very passive aggressive about it though. I’m like…If I want a ring bad enough I can by one myself with out making a spectacle. (I took her robe and TP though. Lol)

Btw my grandma was a Libra she also always wore opals. I’ve read opals are for fertility. I think once you are past child baring age, this ring can bring many descendants. Hence 11 grandkids and…..I can’t even count only 2 out of 11 of the grandkids haven’t had kids yet.

That is right I do have Saturn in the 9th house too.

My grandma lived to be 96

Lol Stawr it was so funny to read about your cousin's passive-aggressiveness and your way of seeing it.

How interesting you brought up opals, I was just gonna ask about your experience with them. Years ago I connected with a green/red opal pendant, but the energy was so strong I felt unhuman, therefore I did not buy it. These days though I've been thinking about getting a pair of earrings made with pink opals.

Smoky quartz: Great for grounding yourself. Makes me feel spiritually charged and mentally and physically strong. I wear small and bigger pieces, but they’ve all been powerful. Great for dealing with any problem in life. Beautiful feminine energy.
Red goldstone (A synthetic stone not found in nature but very powerful): Wear this one and watch how people will start noticing you! And I’m not talking about them noticing your jewelry.
Black tourmaline: I love this stone with all my heart, despite its hard appearance, it has a powerful yet feminine energy. Green and dark blue varieties are more masculine.
Amethyst: I love it. I wear it for sleep trouble and anger issues. Also when doing astrology and divination for others.
Garnet (Red): Great for sex. Strong strong feminine energy. Increases willpower and mental focus too.
Agate (Brown, caramel and pink varieties): Great for everything. Spiritual power, mental strength, physical strength, grounding, etc. The energy is masculine even in light blue or violet varieties.
Malachite: Strong feminine energy, alien too like aquamarine, but still earthy. I find that it strangely has both positive and negative energy. I feel strong but also mean, but feminine but unsympathetic when wearing it! I usually mix it with agate to minimize the negative aspects.
Pyrite: Beautiful beautiful. The energy is androgynous. Stong, attractive, grounding.
Moldavite: One of the most powerful stones I experienced. I call it the motivation stone. Gives me strong willpower like blue sapphire. I feel like it even makes other stones more powerful.
Selenite: Feminine spiritual energy. Very similar energy to moonstone but I like this one more because I do not feel vulnerable when wearing it.
Hematite: Masculine protective energy. I wear it when I physically miss male presence and protection.
Ruby: Girly energy, great for late menses. I love mixing it with malachite and wearing them as asymmetrical earrings.
Pink kunzite: Promotes tolerance and kindness. Powerful energy.
Astrophyllite: Oh my, how do I describe the energy of this magical stone..it has feminine energy, very strong and steady. I got a LOT done this weekend wearing it full time. The weirdest thing is I have a little lack of sleep like previous hectic weekends, but wearing this I don’t feel and look like it AT ALL. On the contrary, I’m experiencing a lot of energy. I would describe astrophyllite as the female agate.
Cubic zirconia: I have a lime-golden hued piece and I made a ring out of it mixed with smoky quartz. I am LOVING the energy! The energy on its own is beautiful and strong too. I find it along the lines of smoky quartz in terms of strong, grounding female energy.
Moonstone: Powerful feminine energy, one of the best stones for times I am feeling stressed.
Rhodonite: Feminine and calming energy. Increases sympathy with others.
Charoite: Despite the feminine appearance, the energy is quite unisex, maybe even leaning towards masculine. Very powerful stone and I found it grounding and calming. This stone would be great for a CEO. It arouses creative power.
White Labradorite: Often mistaken for moonstone, this beauty has unisex energy which is very strong if you want a cleansing stone that also enhances your metaphysical abilities.
Seraphinite: This super beautiful stone has strong feminine energy. It is protective and increases the psychic ability and focus. It also enhances the sympathy and tolerance of others.

Bumped-up stones (worn in combination with other stones): amber, rose quartz, aquamarine, citrine, moonstone.

~ There are also other stones I have worn, but found that they’re either not as powerful as the ones mentioned above, or they were powerful but simply didn’t resonate with my energy:

Kyanite - really calming and metaphysical energy, I just did not find it powerful enough. Might make a piece for BF because it’s just super beautiful.
Amber - really powerful cleansing and sexual energy, made me feel too hot and uneasy though. UPDATE: Wearing it with citrine solved that problem but still I do not wear it full time because it tends to give me insomnia and a lot of energy.
Aquamarine - strong metaphysical energy, but I felt like I was hovering in space, I could not connect with it. Now what do I do with my expensive necklace LOL - UPDATE mixing it with rose quartz creates this amazing energy, LOL you know what they say in math, negative time negative equals positive! I also love mixing it with Citrine.
Rose quartz - makes me feel and act selfish every time I wear it – UPDATE: I have been mixing it with smoky quartz and pink kunzite and amethyst, and those three are helping elevate rose quartz for me. I am bumping it up to my recommendation list because despite its delicate appearance it’s one of the most powerful stones.
Citrine: On itself, I don’t sense a lot of power from it, but when I mix it with pearl, amber, and aquamarine, oh my God I simply cannot get enough.
Turquoise - makes miracles happen, really feminine energy too, I just can’t resonate with the color. I have never worn turquoise anything in my life.
Chrysocolla - I like this one especially the varieties that are mixed with malachite. It’s just not powerful enough for me.
Azurite - strong spiritual energy, but made me a bit depressed too.
Blue sapphire - I feel strong-willed when wearing it (The only reason I haven’t given it away), but makes me depressed
Emerald - beautiful stone with calming feminine energy, just not powerful enough
Opal - protective metaphysical and feminine energy (Even the darker varieties), I just did not find it too powerful. One of the most beautiful stones.
Dark green tourmaline – beautiful and powerful stone but with very masculine energy. I thought because I like moldavite I’d like this one too, but it just makes me feel too masculine in a female body, a bit uneasy. But I’d guess it’d be great for men.
Moonstone: Powerful stone, I just felt uneasy wearing it, because is there such a thing as “too feminine”?! ---- EDIT: Bumping this beauty up to the recommendation list. I find that this powerful stone works great in times we have a lot of stress.

The end of my crystal review. ~ I may update this list.

Best,

Oh you did?! it's good news to hear it.😊 I was rushing through the text trying to remember all my past and present crystal experiences, so I was afraid it wouldn't be ideally articulate and punctuated.

I know a few successful people around me who are longtime turquoise wearers.👌

GEMSTONE UPDATE
I've been having my eye on this gorgeous astrophyllite piece. I'm hoping it's gonna be of those crazy strong energies!

Chapter 11

On one occasion he took up the study of jewels, and appeared at a costume ball as Anne de Joyeuse, Admiral of France, in a dress covered with five hundred and sixty pearls. This taste enthralled him for years, and, indeed, may be said never to have left him. He would often spend a whole day settling and resettling in their cases the various stones that he had collected, such as the olive-green chrysoberyl that turns red by lamplight, the cymophane with its wirelike line of silver, the pistachio-coloured peridot, rose-pink and wine-yellow topazes, carbuncles of fiery scarlet with tremulous, four-rayed stars, flame-red cinnamon-stones, orange and violet spinels, and amethysts with their alternate layers of ruby and sapphire. He loved the red gold of the sunstone, and the moonstone’s pearly whiteness, and the broken rainbow of the milky opal. He procured from Amsterdam three emeralds of extraordinary size and richness of colour, and had a turquoise de la vieille roche that was the envy of all the connoisseurs.

He discovered wonderful stories, also, about jewels. In Alphonso’s Clericalis Disciplina a serpent was mentioned with eyes of real jacinth, and in the romantic history of Alexander, the Conqueror of Emathia was said to have found in the vale of Jordan snakes “with collars of real emeralds growing on their backs.” There was a gem in the brain of the dragon, Philostratus told us, and “by the exhibition of golden letters and a scarlet robe” the monster could be thrown into a magical sleep and slain. According to the great alchemist, Pierre de Boniface, the diamond rendered a man invisible, and the agate of India made him eloquent. The cornelian appeased anger, and the hyacinth provoked sleep, and the amethyst drove away the fumes of wine. The garnet cast out demons, and the hydropicus deprived the moon of her colour. The selenite waxed and waned with the moon, and the meloceus, that discovers thieves, could be affected only by the blood of kids. Leonardus Camillus had seen a white stone taken from the brain of a newly killed toad, that was a certain antidote against poison. The bezoar, that was found in the heart of the Arabian deer, was a charm that could cure the plague. In the nests of Arabian birds was the aspilates, that, according to Democritus, kept the wearer from any danger by fire.

That was a fantastic read. Thank you for sharing that.

Thanks to this text I became interested in zircon and researched it today and ordered a sample!

It comes in different varieties, but mostly with colorless and green/blue hues. The one I got has a green/yellow glow and is lab-made. I look forward to wearing it and seeing how it works.

Ohhh, I just love zircon! It is so beautiful and always on the top list when it comes to an engagement ring! The reason is that it's the only stone that comes so close to looking like a diamond without costing a fortune. The blue zircon is rare, but the green variety is the rarest. Are you going to wear it as a ring? It will be absolutely beautiful, I guarantee you. By the way, I found a turquoise howlite ring somewhat like yours on the street a couple of months ago...

My zircon piece arrived and I fashioned a ring with it today. Will post pictures soon. I am loving the energy too.

I updated my review adding it to the recommendation list. 😍
