Crystal Celebrations! Celebration Stones truly can enhance the quality of our lives. In recent times it seems many more people are turning to tradition when it comes to selecting gifts and themes for celebrating anniversaries of all sorts. They may be birthdays, weddings, business, or years living in their homes. Milestones or anniversaries are deserving of our attention and celebration as they mark our growth and progress through life. Recognizing and celebrating them is an opportunity to provide ourselves and others with some reward and acknowledgement. Furthermore, selecting a natural gift like a crystal or gemstone is most suitable and makes it even better.

Celebration Stones have had a role in this area since antiquity and have built up a solid tradition and acceptance as being natural gifts that can meet any budget, can add value to the recipient, and are deemed appropriate. However, there is quite a bit of variance in considering the proper stone to select. Below we are providing lists of the most commonly accepted stones for these purposes. But many more choices are also available if you do a little digging. For example, our lists are based upon Australian/American/English traditions. But there are also lists for Russian, Greek, Italian/Roman, African, South American, and still more besides.

What is reassuring for us as Crystal Healers and retailers is that more people are moving away from plastic and artificial items. Fortunately, people are returning to the wholesomeness of gifts that nature has presented. Also, pieces enhanced by jewellers, craftsmen and artisans to provide works of beauty and practicality. Items that also add healing and positive energies to our lives, and in many cases protect us from the negative by-products of our contemporary society.

Crystals are becoming a necessity in our modern high-tech world:

Today’s high-tech world makes it necessary to carry or wear crystals and gemstones to help maintain our body’s status quo. We live in a world with a chaotic energy field, created by the electronics around us. Modern conveniences such as mobile phones, computers, televisions, and microwaves emit radiation and electromagnetic waves that interfere with our body’s natural magnetic field.

Fortunately, nature has given us the gift of crystals and gemstones. These have organic energies that help us return to our natural healthy state. However, these stones need to be kept close as their energies extend approximately 30 centimetres or 1 foot away from them. They are best carried, or even worn in order for us to gain the full benefit of their energies. Carrying tumbled stones in your pockets or in a pouch hung around your neck is a most convenient way to maintain the body’s magnetic field, without invasive medical procedures. Moreover, wearing crystal or gemstone jewellery is the most stylish and easiest way to maintain our health. Crystals also restore bodily, mental, and spiritual health to their perfect natural state.

Protection and Decoration with Larger Celebration Stones.

Larger stones like geodes, clusters, bigger crystal chunks, and carved stones can also be used around our homes and offices. These help to maintain balance in our personal space and environment and of course, smaller ones may be arrayed near electrical equipment to help negate harmful effects. Selenite and Crystal Salt lamps are quite effective for this as well.

Today even more technology is being created and added to our lives. Unfortunately with little attempt to overcome the problem of it interfering with our personal energy field. And furthermore, where it is being done the apparatus tends to be expensive and sometimes limited in its effectiveness.

Fortunately, crystals and gemstones are relatively inexpensive and provide a natural solution to deal with the problems of our high-tech society.

Celebration Stones | Picking the Right Stone for Your Celebration.

We often get asked about selecting the right stone as a gift. Or, asked what is the best stone to celebrate a particular milestone such as an anniversary or a birthday? As always our first response is: go with a stone that has caught your attention. Even more so when your attention is accompanied by a strong gut feeling that it is the right one.

However, some people prefer to match their selection with a recognised list. So following are the recognised lists for birthstones, astrological or zodiac signs, weddings and general anniversary stones. All of these may be quite helpful when making a selection. It is also a useful guide for selecting stones for jewellery making and for buying gifts, especially jewellery.

Celebration Stones | Birthstones.

A birthstone is associated with your date of birth and is symbolic of the expected nature of your inner self. It is also commonly thought to bring good luck and good health. Each one has its own place in history and myth: From folklore, Biblical texts, and the annals of history, these stones have a special place in the hearts and minds of humanity.

Celebration Stones | Star Sign Stones.

Supernatural powers have long been attributed by astrologers to certain gemstones. Star sign stones will match up the ideal stone to your particular star sign. This does not mean that any other stone will not work for you, especially as each sign has other alternate choices. It just simply means that this is your ideal stone, relevant to your star sign and birth.
