Gemstones
How many of you have a thing for gemstones? Maybe some feel alive to you? Maybe certain ones call to you? Do you use them as tools? Do you prefer items be carved from them or encrusted with them? Please do tell.

Yes, though I prefer to just have the stone itself... I use opal a lot (even when I don't have it on me), and will use tigerseye in the near future.

My favorite is Alexandrite, an emerald that changes from brilliant green to port red with mood, very magical.
Also like the black opal from lightning ridge NSW, (rather than white opal from Coober Pedy or the clear crystal opal from further up north, brilliant flashes of color on a black background. Cheers

Well now that there are a couple replies I guess I might as well answer my own thread. I was drawn to gemstones before I even became Wiccan. They were neat at first. Now they are magickal. Each has its own power. They are like living things. I was initially drawn to Amethyst. I think this is because the color purple is very soothing to me. The first gemstone to actually do anything for me was Obsidian though. What's weird about that is until I actually felt it working, I didn't know if Obsidian should be considered a real gem as it is formed unlike others. It has proved itself to me though. I am wearing a chunk around my neck right now. I can't wait to get home and hold one of my Obsidian wands either (I have ten gemstone wands). And, yes, I love items made from or with gemstones. Flaws do not bother me either.

I like Zircons, NO not CubicZurconia but Zircon. One of the oldest known gems, relatively cheap yet comes in many colors. relatively hard.

I'm fairly new here, but this question resonated with me. I use crystals a lot. Many different kinds and believe in their ability to heal. We have a fifty pound clear quartz crystal cluster (called an abundance crystal) displayed on a pedestal. A few years ago I had surgery and the doctor didn't think I would even survive the operation. I had my husband carried a red bag of my favorite stones in his pocket over his heart. I not only survived the operation, but only had to spend one day in the hospital.

I like shiney stones, especially clear colored ones. I like to hold them up to the light and look at the colors. Spending thousands of dollars for gemstones doesn't seem reasonable though, when I can get just as much pleasure from a shattered Bromo Seltzer bottle.
