   There are many many more I could mention, 
but I would end up writing a book about stones, so I will stop here, 
but please if you are at all interested in crystals 
and gems do investigate it on your own.

  Now I am sure you want to know what to do with all these stones.
 Well, you can find the stone that heals what problems 
you have and wear that stone, or sleep with it by your bed, 
use it in a Chakra healing, etc. 
The list above covers different stones for healing as well as protection.

  Since clear quartz crystal is great for cleansing energy, I wear one,
 have them hanging in all my doorways and windows, 
so that the energy coming into my house is cleansed. 
On my window sills I have all sorts of stones to protect the energy etc. 
I wear an Amethyst around my neck and a Rose Quartz on my finger. 
I have a Sodilite beside my bed and a large 
Healing Quartz hanging above my bed. 
Once you begin experiencing the energy of stones, 
you will not want to be without one or two or several. 
I never leave the house without a couple on my body, 
I never do a Reading without at least two.

   I wanted you to have an idea of the different stones as we go through this book, 
so that when I say use your Amethyst for healing etc. 
you will know what I am talking about.
