"Crystals, stones, metals. Amethyst for peace. Quartz for power. Silver for psychism. From the earliest prehistoric times to our technological age we have found beauty, power and mystery within stones.Just as herbs possess energies, so too do stones and metals.With their powers we can change ourselves and our lives. Stone magic is as old as time.It began when the earliest humans sensed some force or power trapped within the stones that surrounded them. Stones were probably first used as amulets-objects worn to deflect negativity or "evil". Later they were revered as deities, offered as sacrifices, and buried for blessings and fertility of the land. Their use is intimately connected with religion, ritual and magic. . Stone magic has been forgotten by many millions of people today.The Industrial Revolution and two devastating wars destroyed the insular village life in which the old magic was passed from generation to generation. Today a new awareness of the magical value of stones and metals has swept over us. This sudden interest is unprecedented in history, and, like the growing use of herbs in magic, is another manifestation that people are finding their micro-chip lives unsatisfying. Something-magie is missing."

Stone Color Meaning

** Taken from Encyclopedia of Crystal Gem and Metal Magic

Green

The color of nature, of fertility, of life, green has often been linked with red in religion and magic. Stones of this hue are receptive. They are used in healing magic, perhaps by surrounding a green or blue candle with the gems, lighting the candle, and then visualizing the sick person as a vibrant, totally healed person. They can also be carried or worn to guard the health. Specifically, green stones are thought to strengthen the eyes, control the kidneys, relieve stomach problems and prevent migraines. Ruled by Venus, green stones are worn during gardening to promote luxuriant growth, or are placed in the earth for this purpose. If you have house plants, try putting a few empowered green stones in the earth. Due to such usage, they were also thought to increase fertility and therefore to promote conception. Their associations with the element of Earth also lead to their use in spells involving money, riches, prosperity and luck. They are grounding and balancing stones which can be worn to attune with the Earth

Blue

Blue-the color of the ocean, of sleep, and of twilight. Ruled by
the element of Water and the planet Neptune, these are receptive
stones and promote peace. Holding a blue stone, or gazing at it by a soft light calms the emotions. If you have difficulty sleeping, try wearing blue stones to bed. This is also excellent for halting nightmares. Blue stones are worn or used to promote healing, in general, and specifically to reduce fevers, remove ulcers and their causes, and for eliminating inflammations. They are sometimes held to reduce or remove pain from the body. If you feel in need of a purification, wear blue stones, perhaps while bathing, to purify your inner being as well as your outer flesh. This is often done prior to magical ritual.

Purple

Stones which are purple or indigo-colored are receptive and spiritual. Ruled by Jupiter and Neptune, they have long been associated with mysticism and purification. These are excellent stones to wear for meditation, psychic work or during any ritual designed to contact the subconscious mind. As with green and blue stones, purple is the color of healing and peace. These stones are worn to maintain health and are sometimes given to unruly children to promote obedience. Physically, purple stones are utilized to relieve complaints in the head such as headache, mental illness, concussion and hair problems. They relieve depression and produce restful sleep when worn at night. Purple stones are associated with organized religion as well as the more spontaneous, Earth-oriented systems. They are worn to contact higher forces.

White

White stones are receptive and ruled by the Moon. As such they are intimately linked with sleep and psychism. In the past, white stones, especially chalcedony, were worn to promote lactation by mothers having trouble feeding their babies. In contemporary America, these are considered to be lucky stones, often carried in the pocket or worn to promote good fortune. Because the Moon glows at night, Her stones are used for protection after dark, often when walking alone in hazardous places. Sometimes white and red stones are carried or worn together for protection at all hours. To be rid of a headache, carry a white stone in your pocket. Some workers say that white stones, because they contain all colors, can be magically charged to act as substitutes for stones of any color. This is done through visualization.

Black

Black stones are receptive. They represent the Earth and stability and are ruled by Saturn, the planet of restriction. Black stones are symbolic of self-control, of resilience and quiet power. They are sometimes viewed as protective, but black stones are more often used to 'earth' a person. If you're light-headed, dizzy, or so focused on the spiritual that your physical life suffers, wear black stones. Mystically, black is the color of the outer spaces, of the absence of light. If you wish to perform a spell of magical invisibility, to ensure that your actions will not be noticed by others, use a black stone for this purpose. For example, make a small image of yourself out of black clay and adorn this with black stones. Place it in a black box or one made of mirrors, and then put the box in a dark place. This simply hides you from others if they represent a threat to your life.

Multicolored Stones

Stones which consist of various colors, such as bloodstone (green and red), tourmaline (many combinations) and the opal (all colors) are, obviously, more complex in their magical make-up than single hued stones. For most of these, simply look at the colors individually and determine the stone's uses by combining the energies of each. Opals are a special case, as are all stones which exhibit rainbows or a variety of colors. Other Colors For those stones which contain flecks of metals, such as lapis lazuli (which contains iron pyrite. Various shades or combinations of the basic colors listed above (such as lime green or turquoise) again require combining the information regarding each color.
