What Other Crystal Authors Recommend
Mary Lambert recommends Sodalite which can bring you peace and help bring the body, mind and spirit into harmony.
"A stone of the mind, Sodalite dispels mental clutter and promotes rational thoughts. It is a supreme balancer of the emotions, helping to bring them back under control when we lose good communication with our inner selves."
Robert Simmons suggests Tiger's Eye which can aid in decision making by improving your inner vision and aiding in determining what is really important in a decision.
"As a stone of balance, Tiger Eye works as it does with paradox. It allows one to find the harmonious center between all types of polarities. It helps one to see both sides is disagreements. It assists in balancing the physical with the spiritual. It can also help those who tend to go to extremes find equilibrium in their emotional lives."
Judy Hall advocates Lithium Quartz which can help us view the world in a “glass half full” outlook, to see the best in others, the beauty in life, and the good in humanity.
"Lithium Quartz is an excellent balancing crystal that returns you to perfect equilibrium and is a natural antidepressant. Reaching back into past lives to dissolve the roots of emotional disease pervading the present life, its powerful healing energies gently lift to the surface the conditions underlying depression."
