The one on the left is definately lapis. Could you post a closer individual pic of the other two?
The orange one could be sunstone. The blue one looks like it's a type of calcite, need to see them closer to tell.

thank you :)

:D i went to take some photos and now photobucket is down for maintenance. i'll post when it's back up

:)The orange one looks like Citrine.

dark blue looks like lapis lazuli

orange looks like citrine

light blue could be a sodalite

okay, thats not a citrine.

I know what it is but the namescapes me. its not a carnelian, the sparkling flecks determine that.

Crap, the name really escapes me but this stone is actually a man made stone and not from a quarry

possibly a blue lace agate or angelite, but not sodalite as its lighter than I thought from the original picture

[clozaril]

yeah agate sounds familiar :) thanks

okay, found it.

the reddish-brown one is Goldstone

i think the blue one is a calcite, tho it is difficult to tell, and the orange one maybe either sunstone (doubtful) or is orange goldstone (manmade) - if the 'stars' are tiny specks of silver then that's what it is, but it def is not citrine.

tis diff to say for sure tho ;)

thanks a lot really appreciate your time

didn't know it was mandmade i bought it in egypt thought it was natural. i've got them laid on a book shelf is there a special position they need to be in ? will they interfere with each other ?

many different theories on this. everyone has a different theory on where and when to place them, how to cleanse etc.

They wont necessarily help you persoanlly on the bookshelf. You would get more from them if they were closer to you, such as on a bedside table.

what I would definitely recommend is to get a clear quartz crystal to place in the centre of them. Clear quartz will help magnify their healing properties.

The blue one is Amazonite. But that is a particular kind found only on the backside of Pikes Peak, Colorado according to my geology teacher in high school. It is a pretty form of quartzite.

By the way, none of those qualify technically as crystals but they are all microcrystalline. They are metamorphic meaning formed under high pressure and heat. They do not carry resonance because the crystal lattice is not very extensive.

hm, very intuitive David ;)

And btw, they are crystals, as their latice is typically crytsaline :rolleyes:

and they will 'carry resonance' as everything does carry resonance, and when charged via sunlight energy will have a very noticeable vibration :D
