Working with Crystals (and Stones): Granite

Hello lovely people!

This week Dr. Nicole found a stone, a piece of granite while on her morning walk. This is what she and I would like to share with you this week. So granite not actually a crystal, but a stone, however many pieces have quartz mixed with in it. So, what drew me to this piece? Yes, the shape! I love finding heart shaped rocks. They are a message to fill myself with love until it overflows for others. Sometimes it is a shape, color, texture or place that calls to you to select a crystal or stone from a place. If you listen to yourself you will know and recognized what is calling you.

Granites are igneous rocks, sometimes also called plutonic. Granite was named for its granular structure, you can see the quartz crystals, feldspar, and other minerals that are mixed within, with ease. Additional minerals can change the color and texture of the stones.

Do not forget to cleanse and share your intentions with your stones as well. Thanking them for showing up to work with you and appreciating them for there beauty, symbolism and energy is good to do as well. These simple steps can be done with so many things in nature, for they all hold a vibration within, and can be asked for assistance with raising your own vibrations in an area they are in sync with.

Please, go outside, you don’t have to go far…what out there catches your eye? What do you find beauty in? When you are ready to go back indoors, if you are called to bring it with you do so. While you are cleansing it, look up the symbolism or properties of what you have brought home. How can it help you? Why do you think you where drawn to it?

All Our Best,

Dr. Nicole and Thea
