Rainbow Moonstone Earrings
 
The energy of moonstone is balancing, introspective, reflective, and lunar.  The energy relales to "new beginnings" allowing one to realize that these "new beginnings" are, in actuality, the fruition of each "end".  It is a stone for hoping and wishing; and can assist in sustaining and maintaining and understanding the destiny one has chosen.  It works to bring the galactic evolved energies from other worlds to accessibility.  Moonstone is a stone for "feeling" and understanding via intuition and emotional "thoughts", rather than intellectual reasoning.  It brings flashes of insight, banishing the possibility of neglecting ones profit from that which is experienced  - it stimulates intuitive recognition and helps one to apply the intuitive knowledge in a practical sense.  It also enhances perception and discernment, enabling one to make decisions.
 
Moonstone can help with emotional tension and enhance creativity and self expression.  It cleanses negativity from the chakras, enhancing the feminine aspects of ones nature while providing for spiritual nourishment and sustenance.  Once called the "travellers stone", it is used for protection against the perils of travel.  Moonstone is also a talisman of good fortune.  The energy of moonstone provides the body with a sustaining force.  It can stimulate the properties of rejuvenation and can alleviate many degenerative conditions with respect to the skin, hair, eyes and the fleshy organs of the body.
 
The energies of moonstone are accessible when worn, or carried.

Calcite

golden calcite palmstone
 
Calcite is colourless or white and can become green pink, peach, golden, orange, yellow, red, blue, grey or black when other compounds blend with it during formation.

Calcite is an excellent stone when studying the arts and sciences.  Placement of the various colours of calcite upon the body has induced amplification of our energy field.  Placing calcite of the appropriate chakra colour, upon the chakra, has not only cleared and activated that chakra, but has provided a "sweeping" action which cleared the remaining centres.  The clear and golden calcite are excellent energy sources for use at the crown chakra.

Calcite can be used to ameliorate disease associated with the improper functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, and spleen.  It can be used to promote the de-calcification of bone growths, and is a balancing agent for the assimilation of calcium within the body.

(I admit that I wear the Buddha pendant on a gold chain, where it rests comfortably on the thymus area, and I don't take it off, and miss it when I have to cleanse and re-charge it). Rose quartz is especially helpful at the locations of the heart and the crown chakras.  The energy is soft and silky, producing a gentleness from without and from within the user.  It has been known as a stone of "unconditional" love, bringing peacefulness and calm to relationships.  It promotes receptivity to the beauty of art, music, and the written word, enlivening imagination, and representing a young, warm love.  Rose Quartz can be used for spiritual attunement to the energy of love.  It provides for balancing of yin-yang energy and can attune each chakra to, and provide each chakra with the proper frequency of energy vibration.

On a physical level Rose Quartz can be used to clear fluids in the cells of the body and to promote the release of impurities.  It can be used to enable the opening of the heart centre, dissipating stress and tension.  It has been used in the treatment of vertigo, and provides help in the diminishment of disorders of the kidneys and adrenal glands.  It can be used as an elixir to clear the skin and to reduce wrinkles and promote a soft complexion.  Placed upon the area of the thymus, it has decreased coughs and soothed the bronchial and lung areas of the body. (I didn't get the dreaded chest infections this winter that I usually get).  Maybe it was due to wearing the rose quartz pendant all of last year and this year.
