Stones that Men Love - Something for Dad

I often think of healing crystals as something that attracts more women than men but when I look at our customers, over half of our customers are men!  That came as somewhat of a surprise to me but no wonder - stones can be very manly and virile.  In fact, many stones are used for that very purpose such as smoky quartz, obsidian, tourmaline, amber, jasper, agate, and so many more! 

Even if your father is virile enough, healing crystals make a great gift for Dad on Father's Day.  Whether you give him a set of pocket stones, a pyramid, or manly necklace, most fathers will appreciate a gift from Mother Earth. 

I did a quick poll of some of our friends and male customers who like healing crystals and stones.  The top three favorite stones among the men were hematite, pyrite, and shungite.


Hematite

Men like the look and feel of hematite.  This is wonderful for a man as a palm stone or worry stone, that they can keep in their pocket.  It is also super as a Bear Claw necklace or some other form of jewelry including bracelets for men.

Hematite's chakra is the Root Chakra.  Hematite can be used as a psychic energy center; it helps energy enter and leave the body.  It is useful for anchoring and grounding one's thoughts, emotions, and spirits.  Hematite provides insights into one's self and others.  And of course, it is the go to stone for grounding and keeping one back here on Earth (helpful during astral travel!).

This is a good stone for a person who is being bombarded with negative energy.  Hematite is very helpful for deflecting negativity away from the person who wears it.  It helps alleviate depression and gloomy thinking.

Physically, hematite is good for relieving stress and tension. 




Pyrite

Many men told me that they like Pyrite for the shiny look and also the cube shape.  This is a pocket stone also, especially as a small cube - it is easy to touch and the cube is a fun shape!

Pyrite's chakra is the Root Chakra and  the Soul Star Chakra.

Pyrite is helpful in shielding one from negative energy.  It is quite useful as a mediation tool .  The ancient Inca's even used it for that purpose!

Mentally, it assists protecting one during open and honest communication, providing emotional and physical protection. If a decision needs to be made, carry a piece of Pyrite to help come to the final decision. Pyrite helps a person turn thought into action; it clears the aura of negative energy so one can concentrate and make the hard decisions that have to be made.

Physically, it increases physical stamina.  It is useful in drawing pain from the body, reducing swelling, inflammation, and reducing fevers. 

Pyrite is a fabulous stone for attracting wealth ormanifesting needed energies for a situation.


Shungite

Men love Shungite!  We have so many men customers buying Shungite - almost 90% of our shungite customers are men.  Shungite is a great stone, very hard - I don't have to worry about it cracking or breaking during the shipping process.  And it is available in so many shapes - tumbled stones, rough stones, palm stones, pyramids, spheres, squares, pendants, bracelets, you name it!  Of course, it is very black and men love black but it is also very durable and smooth. 

Shungite's chakras are the Throat, Third Eye, and the Crown.

It is said that Shungite can cleanse water and then infuse the water with tremendous healing vibration - many claim it works wonders on heart disease, skin diseases, arthritis, and allergies.  It is believed to restore vigor and vitality, rejuvenates skin and hair.  Many people use infused in water as a wash for skin and hair - said to encourage regrowth of thinning hair. 

Of course, all claims about medical benefits or attracting wealth are just that - claims and not factual or proven by scientific study.  Find a stone for Dad and enjoy the day! 

Cinnabar in Quartz - Stone of the Teacher - Keeps One Organized and Focused

Cinnabar is the Stone of the Teacher - organized, clear, disciplined mind.  Cinnabar works well with instructors of all types helping to keep the mind sharp and focused.  It is helpful to keep the teacher organized and teaching in the right manner, at the right time for the students.  It directs the teacher to keep the material lively and interesting. 

This stone also helps the teacher LEARN from the student because learning is never a one way street.  It helps to keep the teacher grounded, and to remind the teacher that at one time THEY were the ones being taught.  It facilitates praise and encouragement from the instructor to the pupil, and lets the teacher see that worthy praise is a part of the learning process. 

Cinnabar is beneficial is balancing the Root Chakra.

Cinnabar is also known as Native Vermillion, a type of red mercury sulphide, the common ore of mercury.  It was named from the Persian word "zinjifrah" which meant lost or dragon's blood. 

It is rarely seen as it is here in Quartz.

Mercury is a toxic material, and thus, Cinnabar should be handled with care and never taken internally.

Sulphur Quartz Crystals Repel Chupacabras and Extraterrestrials

Sulphur Quartz healing crystal is a stone with either sulphur mixed within the quartz or with inclusions of sulphur.  In any event, it will be a green or yellow colored stone and should have a sulphur odor when broken or crushed. 

Sulphur Quartz has the great attribute for inspiring devotion in loved ones.  It also historically, has been used by aboriginal people to ward off unexplainable beasts.  It must work because so many people used it!  Native Americans used to get rid of Big Foot, Tibetans kept handy to repel the Yeti Monster, people in Mexico used to keep Chupacabras from getting their animals.  In more modern times, it has been suggested as a use to avoid visitations by Extra-terrestrials.  It is supposed to help keep E.T.s (and possible the Government) from getting control of one's mind. 


Whether you believe in all that or not, wouldn't hurt to keep one handy.  Available here for purchase ~~http://tinyurl.com/sulphurQ
