New Quartz Crystal Collection

Spirals of Light — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 19:33:46 +0000

Well, I’ve done it again! I just acquired a collection of crystals and stones from a private collector. Buying stones from a private collector is much different than buying stones from professional dealers. Dealers carry great quantities of stones and selection, but the stones aren’t always good quality. Often I will look at hundreds of stones before I make a purchase because the quality and energy vibration just isn’t up to my standard. Prices from dealers are at current market rate which always seems to go higher and higher each year.

The benefits from buying crystals from a private collector is that each stone is hand picked one at a time, rather than bulk purchasing. Many dealers buy barrels of stones at a time. Literally tons of rocks to get their best price.
This most recent collection comes from someone who carefully selected his stones, purchasing only the very best over a period of many years. >> Continue reading

Crystal Dolphin Retreats

Spirals of Light — Mon, 30 May 2011 22:36:41 +0000

Healing Crystals & Dancing Dolphin Retreats on the waters off of Key West FL. combine the vibrational energy of crystals and gemstones with the magical interactions of the dolphin.
This past April I had the privilege of working with Capt. Victoria Impallomeni in offering these one day retreats. Here is an account of one of our days together.

Our journey begins with a perfect Florida Keys day. Light winds and warm temperatures greeted us as we pushed off the dock. There were 8 of us aboard the IMP II, a comfortable, shaded 25-ft. powerboat guided by Capt. Victoria of Dancing Dolphin Spirit Charters. Captain Victoria Impallomeni-Spencer is native wilderness guide with 36 years experience and an Environmental Marine Science Degree. Together, Capt. Victoria and myself have designed these retreats to offer an opportunity to connect with ourselves, each other, the crystals & stones and the dolphin and ocean where they freely roam. >> Continue reading

Awakening on the Spiritual Path with Crystals & Stones

Spirals of Light — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:41:11 +0000

I went to Vermont in May to attend the Stones of the New Consciousness: Healing, Awakening and Co- creating with Crystals, Minerals and Gems. The conference was led by Robert Simmons author of “The Book of Stones” which in the field of Crystals is now considered the “must- have” book on learning about the metaphysical properties of gemstones.
This conference however went much further into the exploration of our relationship with the stones. I’ve been trying now for almost 2 weeks to put into words my experiences of this intensive workshop. What I’ve recently come to realize is, my difficulty in finding the words to describe what I learned at the 4 day seminar is beacuse this conference was more of an experience rather than “learning”. While my mind wants to make sense of the weekend, it was my heart, that was awakened into the awareness of a partnership with the stones. >> Continue reading
