CrystalHeart is a rich compilation of facts, anecdotes, comparisons and legends describing the stoic gifts of our Mother Earth - crystals, gems and stones. Compiled by a true lover of stones, many of these articles express the love and fascination the author has felt for them from an early age.

Meet Sandie:

As a youngster, I was fortunate to have a father who made jewelry as a hobby. What fine stones he had. And what fine pieces of jewelry he made. I learned at an early age the beauty in each stone, each rock. Each was a precious gem unto itself. For most of my life, I have been interested in the paranormal and in methaphysical subjects. And at a young age, I thought that everyone 'knew' things, 'saw' things, 'heard' things, because all were such a big part of my every day being.

Growing up, I tried different tools to hone my intuitiveness, to help others. I tried candle intuition, Gyspy Witch cards, Palmistry, Crystal Balls, and Tarot cards. I learned and tried many wonderful techniques and methods. Then one day, while browsing through the occult section of a book store, I found a small volume on fortune telling with crystals. It was a cute novelty book, so I purchased it to add to my collection. Later, reading further, I found I could identify and associate with the energies of certain stones and their meanings. Too, I instinctively knew the author was incorrect to energies and meanings of other stones. I felt I was on to something very enchanting!

I asked my father for some of the stones mentioned in the book and also went on a quest to purchase others - quickly surpassing the amount of stones the author used. I took to Reading stones quite fast, and also, the stones took to the Readings quickly. I had finally found my own intuitive 'tool.' (Or, this ' tool' had finally found me.)

Later, interested, I went under hynosis for a past life regression, wanting to find out why the stones and I became such good companions. In this regression, I found myself many thousands of years in the past, as a Shaman for my group. My name was Mgr (pronounced um-grr). I cast stones, shells, feathers, sticks and bones to foresee the future. I had amazing intuitive powers, as 'seeing' some of the visions Mgr saw. It left me - Sandie - awestruck.

I was a group counselor, as well as being the Shaman. I helped all with the mundane, as well as the significant. I was there to guide all who needed answers. And I feel that today, once again using my stones, shells, feather and stick (minus bones) I have returned to help and guide all who are in need of answers. I thank the universe each day for guiding me back to my stones, and for guiding the stones back to me.

Red Jaspers to all (love)
