Crystal has always been popular for different purposes. Some use crystal to decorate their homes with objects like chandeliers and figurines of big and small sizes, while some use it in the form of beautiful utensils. Then there are people who believe in the healing powers of crystal and wear them to cure themselves of different ailments. There are different ways people choose to use crystal. But the most common use of all may be wearing them as jewellery.

Crystal jewellery is quite popular in the UK and around the world. They are recognised because of their brilliance and because they make attractive jewellery. The colourful pieces of crystal, when they come in contact with light, produce a reflection of many colours that looks quite bewitching. It is one quick way of catching attention and, therefore, crystals jewellery are such a hit with women from different corners of the world.

Due to the sparkling properties of crystal, people are now using them in the accessories as well. From belts to bags, people are experimenting with crystal and their overall appearance. Crystals are also made into beads to string them and make them into fine jewellery. Necklace and bracelets are given a special glow with crystal beads. Crystal beads are available in different shapes and sizes. And they can be used to make different and wonderful patterns and designs.

When crystal is carved into the shape of a droplet or a sphere, they make beautiful, eye-catching pendants. Some jewellers put a coating of Aurora Borealis on these crystal pendants which gives them depth and different colours. When light reflects on them, they produce a varied range of colours. These pendants can not only be used in necklaces, but they are also used in bracelets and anklets and that looks really chic.

Crystal has fascinated men and women from the time we discovered its beauty, radiance and brilliance. It has always lent a touch of elegance and brightness to our jewellery. Crystal can be worn embedded inside jewellery of of gold, silver, platinum or any other material. Or it can also be worn as a pendant hanging from a necklace or a neck chain, a bracelet, an anklet or an armlet. No matter where we wear it, crystal brightens up our look and appearance and makes us look ravishing.

To enhance the beauty of our body parts, a great way to go about it is by defining them with crystal. For instance, petite and soft wrists can look all the more elegant and appealing with small crystal pendants hanging from a well crafted bracelet. And similarly, if you are wearing skirts, shorts or short trousers, and your tender ankles are visible, then you can make one of them look more graceful and bewitching, you can take the help of a shapely crystal.

The crystal is known for its shine and reflection. So when you wear crystal jewellery, even a small ray of light can make your crystal coruscate and that will brighten up your limbs. A crystal pendant can also spell magic and make you look quite admirable. You get crystal in different colours, so you can match your jewellery with your outfit and look quite lovely and fine.

Not just jewellery, crystal can also make various kinds of accessories look gorgeous. Belts, bags and purses can be made beautiful in an instant with crystal and stones. Many women like crystal embedded foot wear and they look quite fashionable in high profile parties and social gatherings. Crystal can make your life quite interesting and beautiful too. And the best thing is – you can wear them in any way you want to.

I am going on a ghost tour next week and would really like to sense the spirits on this tour without having to worry about negative effects from unsettled, or even, evil spirits. Are there crystals that I could wear/carry that would allow me to feel/communicate with the spirits (in order for me to ensure their existence) without any negative issues?

I dreamed I was visiting these sacred crystals… Almost like a forest of them. Pinkish white, luminous, very beautiful. There were stressful elements to the dream but overall it was really interesting and beautiful. What could this mean, apart from the obvious crystals represent spirituality? Do crystals in dreams carry any SPECIFIC meaning? Thanks!
Mr Mojo — thanks, real nice. Serious answers please guys.
Grace, thank you! that’s a great dream dictionary and the entry about crystals made a lot of sense to me.

People love looking at crystal because of the way the different facets are cut in them bringing about a uniqueness all their own. It’s the amazing light that has us so captivated, and why so many people collect and admire the ever so popular crystal figurines.

Looking at each piece in every direction gives you a different perspective of that piece. The beautiful rainbows of colors that a crystal reflects through its prisms are amazing in themselves. Our imaginations can soar and our cares can diminish, even for a short while when we look at a beautiful crystal angel for example.

Just look into the eyes of the crystal animal figurines and you can almost imagine the little animals coming alive. The crystal castles will have you roaming the dark corridors searching for hidden passages. These beautiful pieces of fine crystal will definitely have you fantasizing about the mystical adventures of slaying dragons or taking a ride on the mythological pegasus.

Give your sweetheart a picture to remember and encase it in a lovely glass frame with a crystal rose attached to it. There are so many beautiful pieces to choose from, you will surely find the perfect gift for anyone on your list.

As far as collectibles are concerned, fine lead crystal bring such enjoyment to everyone who see them, we can use our imagination as to what we see in each piece, similar to gazing at the clouds in the sky, and everyone sees something different and special to them.

You can also tell when a woman is wearing a beautiful crystal necklace with matching earrings because it gives her that extra special sparkle. A crystal pendant makes her feel more captivating to her special someone. Like diamonds, Crystal Jewelry gives a powerful statement and every woman wants to feel that power.

You truly can’t go wrong with purchasing a gift of crystal. It is a statement in itself. It is a gift that can be usually found on everyone’s wish list, from anniversaries and weddings to birthdays and holidays. But remember, the most important list of all, your ”wish list”.

Dad-in-trouble asked:


So I dropped my son’s used diaper on our nice new wooden floor. There were pieces of diaper everywhere and smelled horrible! As I attempted to clean up the mess, I realized those gross little gel crystals were everywhere. I tried a dust broom, a dry swiffer vac, papertowels and Lysol wipes. I felt like I was just spreading the mess everywhere! Gross!

Help!

Epoxy Floor Paint

BoBo asked:


I see chandeliers hanging at the Ritz Paris and Buckingham Palace, and the crystals shine a very white color. I also see some chandeliers that give more of a warm amber color. Is the color the main characteristic of an expensive crystal, or I’m totally missing the point?

I am currently reading about the healing properties of crystals but my book doesn’t give any suggestions as to where the crystals should be stored. I really need to know before I purchase my stones. Thanks!
