Ask and you shall receive!! Persuaded by popular demand, I have created a comprehensive list of the magical, healing and vibrational uses of popular crystals and stones. Below I have listed some of the more common and accessible "rocks" out there (let's face it we all can't afford that diamond, emerald or sapphire) that can be bought unpolished or tumbled in New Age or natural science stores. Just carrying one of these rocks in your pocket, placing it in a prominent place in your home or wearing it as a piece of jewelry can help raise your vibration to achieve a desired effect.
