    I like working with stone, and have worked with them since I started, though it was kind of an accident. Anyway, what I've learned about stones and crystals is that they can work three main ways.

    1. The main way is when used focus in a spell or ritual. The stone is source of energy that your have determined would be beneficial to your purpose. One think you always have to remember is that a stone is its own energy and not just a filter of an element or your own.

    2. The secondary purpose is to carry them with you. Certain stones have healing properties, and other have emotional ones. Some can help with meditation and others can help with everyday things. You just have to find the set of stones that work the best for you.

    3. The third way may be the obscure, but every stone has an affiliation with a place or type of being even if the meaning in this case is specific to you. This can lead you to various things that usually are specific to the individual.

    Choosing stones should be a process all in itself. You should never choose a stone just because a book or spell says that you need it. There are always others that can be used in it's place.

    Each stone has a personality of its own. I don't mean each type, but every single stone. In order to find the one that works well with you, you should hold the stone, or look at it, and in the end, you should ask the stone if it will work with you. This question may not be a vocal question. Meditate with the stone if you feel it necessary. It's hard to explain, but if and when the stone decides to help you, you'll know. It may be immediately, or it may take some time.

    Now if you want more information on stones and the such, I suggest this book:

    Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic

    Amazon.com: Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic: Scott Cunningham: Books

    I've not read the book myself because I haven't gotten around to buying it, but that would be a very good source of information regarding stones and crystals.

    Though, remember, these stones and crystals are what you make of them. A book like that one may say it works for purification and love interest, but you may find it works best for strength or energy gathering. The best way to learn is to find out yourself. Use the books and writings as a reference, but experience will be what really helps you.

    My main set of stones are:

    Clear Quartz- Focus and a central point
    Amethyst- Fire and awareness
    Amber- Earth and past memories
    Green Adventurine- Wind and Quick thinking
    Moss Agate- Water and Problem solving

    These are, of course, only my interpretations of the stones, and for you they may be different. There is no template for the individual stone, so I guess what I'll wrap this up on is, keep an open mind when it comes to choosing and using. I hope this helped in some degree.

    Default rose quartz

    my only real experience in working with crystals was i once wore rose quartz in a mojo bag around my neck with a couple herbs and i truly felt it vibrate against my chest. i was amazed. it was a feeling almost like vicks vaporub but stronger, like a thrumming from the rose quartz.

    I work with crystals, both as a part of rituals both for Paganism, Shamanism and ritual magick, but also as a system of it's own. I use crystals to help me in my everyday tasks. I am stone crazy and love to work with different kinds of stones.

    The worst experience I've had is a headache. Maybe feeling a little drained as well. But that was from something I did not buy for myself, and was not really bought for me.

    Put them on. If you don't feel bad after 10 minutes, they're fine. If you feel a little different, don't worry about it. And if you feel creative/happy, congratulations!
    okay i know i am like a month late on this answer but i will do that

    I have found stones to be very useful to, let us say I have a headache, I might not have the energy for a big and complicated ritual, but picking up a amethyst and a moss agate and placing them under my pillow with the intent to heal and then rest for a while work wonders. Stones is a way to do simple magick fast and easy and can be wonderful aids for more complex magick.
