John asks…

Semi-Precious gemstones, are they considered to be real stones?

Clear answer would be nice 🙂 and then some more details would be appreciated 🙂 maybe any nice websites? Googled all day and still nothing.. :/

admin answers:

They are real stones without question. It needs to be pointed out that the term "Semi-Precious" is absolutely meaningless today and international organizations involved in the gem trade such as the CIBJO have recommended that it should no longer be used and all stones be referred to as gemstones regardless of price or outdated terminology. Unfortunately it is taking a long time for traders and the general public to accept this. The traditional Big Five were Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Pearl. This was based on the historical availability of gems and therefor their cost. Today basing the Preciousness or Semi-Preciousness on price has lost all meaning, recently I sold a fine 11.64 carat demantoid garnet which, under the old category, is semi-precious for whacking $28,000 per carat making a total of $325,920 for the stone, not much "semi" about that price is there.
Stones should be valued for their beauty and how much they appeal to you and not what you will have to pay for them.

Helen asks…

Have you ever experimented with semi-precious gemstones to achieve psychic ability....?

lucid dreams, healing or out of body travel?

If you have, then please tell me what happened.
Erin: I've spent many years of my life meditating too. I amplified my brainwaves and can put spells on people. I cured myself of a biophysical imbalance within my etheric body using a dark green bloodstone. Its true!!

admin answers:

The problem with using crystals to assist with psychic abilities is that a person seeking to use them must find specific crystals that resonant with them. Much of the supposedly knowledge about them that is available today suggests that any crystal will work with any individual, and that is not correct. The proper crystal, in the presence of someone who has learned to use them, can greatly enhance abilities, but the wrong crystal or a lack of knowledge can be worthless in improving abilities. And yes, this is to imply that the traditional linking of this type of crystal to assist with this ability is not generally valid.

As for my personal experiences, with the proper crystals in my hands, my abilities are greatly enhanced in many areas.

Robert asks…

Question about semi-precious gemstones energies?

I have 2 gemstones in a pouch a citrine and a quartz and I always have the pouch in my pocket is there any problem having them together?I mean if they d

admin answers:

Citrine is a type of quartz
they have no energies but
quartz (all varieties including citrine) have a peizoelectric quality which has something to with generating electricity when heated. It has all sorts of uses in technology. (I don't know much else about piezoelectricity)

But mixing your two stones in a bag will cause you no harm or benefit, other than having two pretty stones at your disposal.
