I started on this crystal journey since late Nov 2020. It was a 机缘巧合下 I watched a FB Live that my bestie shared on her profile. From that day, I find it quite interesting and always something new to learn. I was a crystal nerd back then but not saying I'm expert now. Just know what I wanna know and the rest is unnecessary. That time my FB profile is full of sharing Lives for Like and Share draws, on top of articles sharing.
Now, I seldom watch or buy already. My last purchase was before Lunar New Year this 2022. And decided that enough is enough unless I needed something or I'm bored at night then watch lor. Kill time mah. Pocket big hole for so long already. Must take a break and appreciate my current pieces at home that hopefully bring our family abundance of good fortune, good health and prosperity throughout the years.
I also spread the love to our families and friends too. Be it gifts or purchases. I didn't succeed as a seller so I gifted out most of them. Hopefully everyone benefits from it like I do.
Let me share parts of collection, what I know about them and do with them. Please take it as a pinch of salt for whatever I mentioned in this post. Some I also 道听途说.
MY AMETHYST CAVES
My first Brazil Amethyst Cave bought from Fated Ore Crystals at affordable price. I love this station because is hosted by 2 elderly uncle and auntie. They are very friendly and always gotten advices from them on how to handle our purchases like caves, 貔貅 and many more. And they always try to give reasonable price too. Go follow them on Facebook and stay tune for their live daily except Thurs (their off day).
Inside the cave lives 貔貅 and 蟾蜍.
I surrounded this piece with 琉璃 items. Got 聚宝盆, 龙龟，一桶金, Fortune God and Cat plus Citrine Tree. There was once I learnt from one station on how to test if it is 琉璃 by using a coin, lightly knock on the item and hear the 'klink klink' sound. Not sure if this is the way to test real 琉璃 but I did tried on all and even told my bestie about it. Some I hear 'klink klink', some I don't. Experts, please let me know if this test is good enough to know real or fake 琉璃.
This is another Brazil piece bought from Fated Ore Crystals which I'm very pleased since I can't bear to throw my money for the same size but a Uruguay piece. People buy according to what they lack in their life (金木水火土) but I see the size that I want instead.
I realized something that Brazil's Amethyst is less expensive than their Citrine. I was wanting a piece of Citrine cave but the price is just like Uruguay Amethyst. I don't know. I'm confused with the price and also whether to get one or not. But I got over it for awhile already until I saw the seller's new stock. Damn! Better don't watch their FB Live, if not I go bankrupt for the Citrine. Citrine supposed to bring fortune. Hahaha...
I got two 貔貅s to guard this piece. Need to tell you peeps an interesting encounter. This was the position I put the cave initially when I received it but after awhile, I felt that I should put it up or higher position facing right smack in the middle of the door (the position you see in pic is side of the door). So I shifted. I know I shouldn't keep shifting all these stuff but no harm trying for better luck. I offered my 貔貅s water and at the new position, the water was gone real fast. I'm like you two are very thirsty is it? So I have a small bottle beside them just to top up the water. After some thoughts, I decided to shift the cave to its original position, again. I'm crazy but I just feel that position is good. So I shifted it and guess what? Somebody is less thirsty, or maybe adjusting to the new position.
Just half believing that they exist in my house. Please guard our fortune from flowing out and also bring us good health and good human relations 人缘 to earn more money.
This Amethyst Cave (they call it 钱袋子) if I'm not wrong from Uruguay. Cost me more than the previous 2 which is not surprised. This was also my very first cave I have, although I find the hole too small. You know you can't gauge well by looking at it on FB Live. If your eyes are sharp enough, there are two 貔貅s living inside.
I got it guarded by 2 龙龟s, one Aventurine (the lucky crystal) and the other one Strawberry Quartz. I wanted my latter piece to be the same size as my Aventurine but too bad didn't manage to because bought at separate time. Then a Citrine Foxy and a small Rutile Sphere to 加持. Actually I will change the surrounding display when I feel like it. But till date, I have not touched on the 龙龟s yet.
All of them shall give me abundance of luck, good human relationship, health and fortune. Hopefully.
SEVEN STAR ARRAY 七星阵 / AGATE GEO
The usual Seven Star Array is 7 different colour balls but mine, the ingots. I bought mini set for my folks too. So cute. Do you agree it looks like Star of David? I mean the star shape. Hahaha... is a steal I got it at such affordable price. Thank God!
And the Agate geodes I got from another station at offer too. They call it 聚宝盆 or fortune bowl. I got another one but never display out. No space to contain my collections. I bought too much and need to recoup back all my money!!!
GEODES/ SLABS/ SPHERES/ POINTERS
Part of my collections in the room. My favourite will be Labradorite slab and sphere. Look at those sheens! How not to love them? Other Lab collections I bought also have nice sheens. Loving them so much. Oh and my obsession with Foxy and 9 Tails Fox. Don't ask me why but it just attracts me so much every time the stations sell them. Go take a look at Foxy and 9 Tails to understand how I feel. They are just so seductive. My bestie also likes 9 Tails Fox. That why we are besties.
I WEAR THEM EVEN WHEN I'M AT HOME
My collection is incomparable to those who have and are still buying till date. Mine is like 5% of their collection maybe. All from different stations. Just imagine one night how many stations I watch. Haiz... the hole in my pocket is big enough for a puppy to slip through.
But with the amount of bracelets I have currently, I'm stucked with these 3 bracelets. Good for my career as I need to think of how to solve my problem and how to get my work done smoothly. And luck too because I'm always on that waiting game (waiting for replies from various parties). Now working from home I also wear because I am still working yo. Also for my other works like social media, blogging and stuff, I need to think of captions, how to be creative with my ideas and all the contents to put on my blog for readership (including sponsored posts). I need all the thinking so badly. There is this saying that these crystals need to 'understand' their owner to create the necessary energies for them.
CLEANSE OR RECHARGE
 |
| Look at those blue needles in my Clear Quartz Pointer |
So the more you wear them, the better. Some of the bracelets I wear on regular basis changes in colours. Either it means absorbing my negative energies to give the positive, or I need to cleanse/recharge them already. I think if you wear for long without cleansing, you will feel the bracelets 'heavier' than usual because it probably has 'absorbed your negativity out of you' and waiting to be cleansed. True or not, go ask around for feedbacks.
I don't go the extreme of using rainwater to cleanse or charge my crystals. Neither do I bring them under the moonlight for the same purpose. I heard from my Mister that his friend's wife go collect rainwater to cleanse them. Too troublesome. What if dry season? To me, using Raw Clear Quartz and Selenite is good enough. Selenite the best but it is very fragile and cannot touch water. Handle with care if you have Selenite.
To brighten them up, use a clean cloth and baby oil to rub it. No need too much, just enough to rub them. And most importantly, don't anyhow put them on the table. Allocate a place to put them.
All these are based on own experience and also sharing from other buyers. Again, please take it with a pinch of salt unless you experience it yourself.
MY MISTER WEARS THEM TOO
Mister has been wearing since 2021. He wore the 9 tails Fox pendant as necklace and he doesn't like wearing many different bracelets like me and at times he will see me as a Christmas Tree. And yes I got him a Selenite bowl for cleansing and act as a 'sacred place' to put his items when he reaches home since he doesn't wear them at home.
About his thoughts on my purchases, he never objects but only wonder where I will put them. End up, he bought me a cabinet for my 40th birthday in 2021 to display whatever I buy.
TAKE THEM OUT WHEN SHOWER AND SLEEP
Honestly, whenever I take it out for showering and sometimes forget to wear back, I feel like my brain is on a relax mode. Totally not thinking well and the things I do sometimes is regrettable and silly. That happens when I'm not wearing them. Shit! I'm literally a stupid lady. Okay I still make sensible decision too when I'm not wearing them. Hahaha... chillz... I'm still a smart lady.
Some bracelets can wear to sleep but some, better not. Got one seller told everyone that once he himself or his wife wore the bracelet to sleep and unfortunately, the string snaps and all the bead on the bed and some 'flew' on his face. He felt the coldness from the beads (sleeping in aircon room mah) and that led to his singing of 冷冷的冰雨在脸上胡乱的拍. Well... damn funny.
THE LEFT IN RIGHT OUT CONCEPT
I wear mostly on the left hand, depending on the crystals and its benefits. Left hand is the receiving hand while the right hand is the giving hand. 左进右出 concept. I wanna receive lots of wisdom and inspirations. For wealth purpose like Citrine also wear left hand.
MY SINGING BOWLS
Nice or not? I love it so much. Bought these customised dual-tone singing bowls of my choice for Root Chakra and Solar Plexus in 8 inch size. Please understand the 7 chakras before deciding which one suits you.
I used mostly the purple-blue bowl. The different thickness creates a different sound meant for the different chakras. Got it from Instagram seller @de_gempire. I use it for cleansing of my newly bought crystals, once awhile our phones and wallets, and also for our home (just go around the house and ring it). I love the vibration.
For your info, I don't 开光 any of my crystals.
THE KNOWLEDGE
I bought this book from Book Depository and the purpose is for me to refer to when I wanna know each crystals. I think I saw someone on Instagram or Facebook buying this so I follow suit. Interesting read. That time this book also served as info counter when I did selling for a real short period of time.
So I must say that it is an interesting journey for me, learning about crystals and gemstones, the high and low grades, 一分钱一分货. And wearing them has never be about anything (regardless of race, language or religion) because if you believe that they can help you, then is beneficial. If not, it is purely just an accessory for you to wear. Get it? Nothing to do with whoever you are. For me, it benefits me through critical thinking, gaining wisdom and knowledge, and luck too. Can you imagine someone like me who has no luck in winning lucky draws? Now on and off, I did. It sometimes also depends on 天时地利人和. Heng Ong Huat ah!
So if you like to know more on crystals and gemstones, go google them or watch FB Live. 让你大开眼界. Cheers.
