Make a Crystal Tray to help regulate temperature

By Kat Sturtz 3 Comments

Crystal Tray designed to adjust room temperaturesThe idea for this crystal tray came to Becky Vogel in a dream. Becky’s a member of our Spiritual Thumb group here in Michigan and a very intuitive person. She’s used her tray for three years to help regulate room temperatures in her home.

See below on how to make one for yourself. You don’t need large crystals and it’s okay if what you have are polished. I prefer the natural ones and have been lucky to find reasonably priced chunks about 3 to 6 inches in diameter on my many travels. There are many good online and catalog sources, as well, including our friend Jewels at the Crystal Seen Trading Company down in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Jewels knows a lot about crystals in general and mining quartz crystals around Hot Springs.

Instructions

You’ll need eight crystals of approximately the same size, plus sea salt and a silver (or silver-plated) tray.

The seven specific crystals (going clockwise from the top in the photo) are: Citrine, Tiger’s Eye, Red Jasper, Carnelian, Amethyst, Sodalite and Malachite.  The eighth crystal should be a personal favorite of yours, or the recipient if you are assembling this tray as a gift. I’ve chosen rose quartz.

Cleanse* and purify the crystals, paying attention to the methods most appropriate for each type. All the crystals here, except malachite, can be cleansed by placing in a bowl and covering with sea salt. Wait about 3 hours before removing them, using your intuition to feel if  each has been thoroughly cleansed of undesirable energies. The crystals can also be similarly cleansed by immersing in a sea water bath.

Malachite is best cleansed by rinsing lightly under running water, then placing atop a white quartz cluster for about 3 hours. After it feels cleansed, hold it under running water for 3 minutes. Use your intention towards unwanted energies to be rinsed off into the earth.

Arrange the crystals in the same order as the photo. Place a small quantity of sea salt in the middle and sprinkle the salt lightly with water. Position the tray with citrine pointed north in a room of your choice.

Energize the tray by placing your hand near the tray and circling it over the crystals in a clockwise fashion. Your intention is to energize the crystals to work in unison while asking spirit to help regulate the area at the temperature you’ve chosen.

Several members in our meditation group are enjoying this benefits of the crystal tray. One member made a second tray using all quartz crystals that she programmed to assume the various traits  of the recommended crystals. She reports that it works but not as well as with the specific seven crystals.

Do all crystals need cleansing?

By Kat Sturtz 4 Comments

Kat asks Allison, The Rock Girl:

I’ve got a question about citrine. I’m reading in more and more places citrine - quartz crystalthat citrine is one of the stones, like
kyanite, that never needs cleansing. That surprises me since citrine is a quartz.

My questions are:

  1. Do you think that it’s true that citrine never needs cleansing?
  2. Does it matter whether it’s natural or a heat-treated variety of citrine?

The Rock Girl answers:
Hi Kat!
Thank you for your email and most excellent questions!

Yes, it has been said that Kyanite and Citrine are the two stones that NEVER need cleansing, but no one has ever clarified as to why that is so. It is my belief that ALL stones liked to be cleansed, and as a result will be able to function at their greatest capacity. Stones, like people, have their own unique electromagnetic frequencies, and draw in all kinds of energy. When this happens they tend to feel heavier, stickier, and appear dull and/or less vibrant. This is when you know they need to be cleansed. From my experience I have felt these characteristics in both the Kyanite and Citrine, upon which having cleansed them I have immediately felt the difference and shift in their energy levels. My advice to you is go with your gut, and let your instincts be your guide : )

This also applies to both types of citrine, the natural and well as the heated-treated variety. Bare in mind that some stones need to be cleansed more often than others. This depends on many factors including the type of stone, placement of stone, and the job that you are asking it to do, etc.

Along with cleansing a stone of negative energy, I always like follow up and “charge” it as well. A nice gentle way of doing so would be to leave it on a piece of selenite over night or on a window sill bathing in the moonlight. As I mentioned today on the show, soaking a stone in salt water and setting it out in the sun can completely annihilate many of the more sensitive stones including Kyanite, Selenite, Amber, Jet, all of which melt in salt water. If left in the sun too long Rose quartz, Amethyst, Smokey Quartz and Citrine (both varieties) will eventually fade and loose all their color. Many of the books fail to mention which stones can take the salt water and/or the sun, and one often has to learn by trial and error, which can result in a terribly heart breaking experience : (

Thank you once again for reaching out to me and please feel free to contact me  with any further questions.

Mighty Blessings,

The Rock Girl
