Crystal-Clear: Moonstone

Qualities:

Moonstone is inextricably linked to the moon and all qualities that we think about the moon... especially knowledge as it is linked to intuition and the subconscious. It also affects mentrual cycles, which are also in accordance with the ebb and flow of the moon. In the case of headaches caused by food, moonstone may be used to relieve symptoms.

In the Zodiac:

The zodiac sign Cancer rules this stone, as Cancer rules intuition and empathy. Also, Moonstone tends to calm overreactions and sensitivities (touchiness if you will) to which Pisces may be apt. It is a feminine stone, as a water sign crystal, and is associated with psychic and cleansing abilities.

Crystal Clear : Amethyst

Amethyst is one of those stones that most people are drawn to, whether it is because they find a connection with it's soothing powers, psychic enhancement, or simply because of it's color.

It is the birthstone of February and fits the characteristics of a Pisces or Aquarius. Amethyst's properties suit those who are in-tune with the spiritual world, seeking mental clarity or seeking a source of creativity.

I have recently used a small, but very powerful crystal next to my bed to relieve anxious dreaming. Amethyst is said to draw away negative energies and calm the mind. Since I have been using the stone, it has worked wonders. My anxious dreams have completely ceased! If you are considering doing this in your home, I suggest that you cleanse your amethyst every few days...or else you will find its power weakening...and the dreams will begin to strengthen.

As for psychic enhancement, amethyst creates a bridge between the "what you see" reality and the "psychic" reality. Intuition plays a large role in many lives, and you may use amethyst if you sense an imbalance of your realities, or to protect yourself from the negative energies absorbed via intuition.
