Brighteners

Crystals that bring out the beauty of life

Shop for Brightener Crystals

brightener symbolThe Brighteners are crystals that form in the halide mineral class.  They are formed by the action of hydrofluoric or hydrochloric acid. When these chemicals come into contact with metals, they form crystals that are often very brightly colored, among the brightest of the mineral kingdom. These crystals and minerals, such as halite and fluorite, are prized for their ability to bring out the beauty in something. 

brighten up your dayThe Brightener crystals are particularly useful for enhancing efforts that focus on the sensual aspects of life in which some aspect has become dull, tarnished, or dingy. A longtime relationship can go stale and become dull with repetition or neglect. A Brightener crystal can help focus efforts to make the old seem new, to add luster where there was the patina of neglect, and to polish up skills, capabilities, and approaches to life and love.

The use of Brighteners should seriously be considered by many seeking a crystal. Many desires are for a brighter future in some way. The Brighteners are very utilitarian crystals. They are the generalist crystals. Their uses are not particularly restricted, as are the uses of many of the other crystals. For example, someone who wants to simply enhance his or her life and have a brighter future could start with a Brightener. Using one that has the Enhancer crystal energy structure like a fluorite would be perfect for a general desire to just have a better life in some unspecified way.

 

brighten your dayThe Brighteners also have a specific use in helping us see the best life has to offer. Too often we are focused on our problems, afflictions, and illnesses. Life truly is a great adventure, and this planet truly is a wonderful place. We need help sometimes in recognizing the good things we have and in truly appreciating them. The Brighteners are good for our disposition. They add color and zest to life and give it meaning.

Mirrors

Crystals that help us see that which is hidden from us

Shop for Mirror Crystals

< mirror crystalsMirrors are crystals and minerals that are found in the class of minerals called sulfides. These minerals are formed from sulfur, or more accurately from hydrogen sulfide. They are usually volcanic in origin. They are normally opaque and have a metallic sheen or luster to them. This mirror like surface is an outward manifestation of the power of these talismans to reflect what is normally hidden

These crystals are excellent aids in knowing yourself, as they help reveal things that you consciously didn’t realize. They reflect you as you are, not as you normally see yourself. They reveal that which is hidden.

They help strip away pretensions, reveal truths, and give you the ability to see things as they really are. They help you to avoid being deceived by appearances. They make good touchstones of veracity. There are really few in circulation. They are relatively unknown except for pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and cinnabar.

Mirrors are particularly useful as self-help crystals. Often the first step in self-improvement is to understand how you got to where you are. We need to learn about ourselves before we can make meaningful change. The Mirror crystals are perfectly suited to help you with your efforts to really know yourself and your desires better.  They make excellent meditation crystals.

Purifiers

Crystals that help us accomplish tasks of high purpose

Shop for Purifier Crystals

purifier symbolThe Purifiers  are all crystals that are composed of but a single element. Everything on this planet is made up of elements. They are the building blocks of matter. Because they combine with other elements to form compounds, most elements are not found in a pure state in nature. Gold, silver, carbon, sulfur, and copper are the most common elements found in a pure state.

pure motivesThe uses of the natural element class of crystals include promoting honesty, building faith, working for peace, giving joy to others, supporting charity, becoming humble, achieving spiritual growth, building virtues such as patience and courage, and protecting innocence. The pure motives align with the pure elemental power of the Purifiers.

Purifiers do not form transparent gemstones as a rule. The notable exception is carbon, which as we know forms into diamond under the right conditions. Gold, silver, copper, and sulfur are found in a variety of forms from small crystals to distorted thin plates. Copper often forms in thin sheets worked around other rocks in nature. These sheets can be quite attractive and can be used as powerful talismans because their beauty reflects the purity of their power. Gold and silver are often found as small nuggets that are particularly suited for many uses. The beauty and power of crystalline gold and silver has to be experienced to be believed.

Even a small nugget of gold, a small diamond crystal, a piece of natural silver wire, or a small segment of natural sulfur can serve as a powerful aid in your quests to remain faithful to a partner or ideal. They can help you dedicate yourself to a worthy goal in aid of others, or share your time and possessions in support of the needs of others.
