Mystical Tools:

Gemstones and Crystal

for Daily Use

by Margaret Ann Lembo


The human is multi-dimensional with subtle bodies which

are the mental, emotional, and spiritual body. Even

though you can’t see your thoughts, feelings and your

spirit, you do know they exist. The energy body consists

of seven chakras —the crown, the third eye, the throat,

the heart, the solar plexus, the navel, and the root,

each associated with a specific color which relate to

the rainbow of gemstones available to use for balance.


The Energy Body

The lower three chakras are

related to the physical part that

connects you with the more

mundane aspects of living here

on planet Earth – food, shelter

and water. The upper three

chakras are the spiritual

chakras helping you remember

your Divine connection with

your spiritual nature or the

heavenly connection. The

heart chakra is the bridge

between the upper three and

the lower three chakras,

bringing Heaven to Earth and

Earth to Heaven.

Everything we think and feel,

both positive and negative, is

contained within this energy

field, whether you are

conscious of your energy field

or not. When you make it your

intention to consciously clear

away negative thoughts and

feelings and replace it with

positive energy you will

increase well-being and bring

about balance.

Gemstones and Crystals

as Mystical Tools Gemstones are powerful tools,

which guide you toward

personal understanding. They

make a perfect tool to help

you connect with your inner

mystic. The mystic is one in

pursuit of communion with the

Divine through insight, intuition,

and experience. The colors and

shapes of the stones offer you

an avenue to receive

messages that motivate and

activate your awareness.

Crystals and gemstones have

elemental energy of earth

spirits. These earth spirits, the

Gemstone Guardians, maintain

the intention, use, color, and

integrity of the stone.

Try using beautiful colored

stones on and around your

body to help you awaken to

your life purpose and fulfill your

soul’s agreements. Crystal

alignments are a perfect tool to

realign the energetic body to

restore balance mentally,

emotionally, physically and

spiritually. The experience of

laying on of stones as

additional energetic assistance

to rebalance and realign the


body, mind, and emotions to

hone and reconnect with your

inner spark of the Divine.

Much like a chakra balancing

crystal alignment, a crystal grid

is a method of placing crystals

in geometric formations on or

around a person and their

space or larger location to

achieve a formed intention

within the space or person.

Crystal grids can be combined

with crystal alignments with

larger groups of people at

sacred sites. A crystal

alignment is the use of crystals

placed on an around the body

to clear, balance, and align

the chakras.

Chakra Balancing

Crystal Alignment You can experience an

amazing healing meditation by

placing gemstone on and

around your body. Try this for

yourself. Gather your

gemstones and place them on

or near you as start from the

bottom and work your way up

as make your intention clearly.

Use black, brown, gray or

metallic stones at your ankles or

below the soles of your feet.

Use Black Tourmaline or

Hematite by your ankles for

grounding, protection and

release of negativity.

Use red gemstones by your hips

for your root chakra to activate

vitality, good health, motivation

and more passion for life. Ruby

or red garnet works well placed

next to each hip.

Orange stones at your navel -

also known as the sacral

chakra – will help activate the

courage to give birth to your

creativity. This center helps you

to take action and move

forward with your ventures and

ideas. Carnelian or orange


calcite on your belly is my

suggestion.

Yellow stones at your solar

plexus like citrine or amber on

your solar plexus are used to

amplify self-confidence and to

help you remember your

magnificence.

Choose pink and green stones

for your heart center. This

center is your bridge between

the lower three chakras and

the upper three chakras. Rose

Quartz and Green Aventurine

at your heart are my all-time

favorites.

Pastel blue and turquoise

colored gems are perfect at

the throat to aid in your ability

to know your truth, live your

truth and then speak your truth.

A piece of angelite or

amazonite works well at your

throat chakra.

Place dark blue or purple

crystals on the center of your

forehead for your third eye

center. Use amethyst or lapis

lazuli as well as clear stones like

apophyllite and clear quartz.


Clear, white and purple gems

are good above your head at

the crown chakra. Amethyst,

elenite or clear quartz above

your head activates your halo

and connection with the

Divine.

Place a large clear quartz point

or selenite wand in either or

both hands.

Allow yourself to go into quiet

contemplation or no mind

meditation with these stones on

and around you. You can stay

in this state from 20 minutes to

an hour depending on your

goals and intentions. As you

relax your mind, body, and

spirit, you will find yourself filled

with love and well-being.

Upon your return from the

chakra balancing crystal

alignment meditation

experience take notice of your

heightened state of awareness.

This is a perfect time to access

you the oracle within.

The Inner Oracle Oracles have been used in

many cultures, religions,

political and spiritual arenas for

centuries. In ancient Greece,

oracles were priests and

priestesses that brought

through divine messages in

response to specific inquiries.

Gemstones, too, have been

used in a variety of ways from

jewelry to healing elixirs and

amulets.

Messages from the angels have

become an ordinary

occurrence now. These divine

messengers brought revelations

and messages through saints

and prophets throughout time.

Divine messages also come

from the angelic realm to


guide you and guard you

during this lifetime.

Everyone has this gift of the

angelic realm available. Ask for

Divine guidance from angels

and guides to inspire you to

select the highest and best

course of action. Stay focused

on love, compassion and

integrity. Then take action to

clear out the negative energy

of doubts, fears, low self-

esteem, unmet expectations,

abandonment, and betrayal

and so on.

The Gemstone

Guardians The Gemstone Guardians

speak to us just as the angels

do. The color, origin, mineral

compounds and shape offer

insights to the stone’s meaning.

Divine messages come through

the crystals when used with

your intention.

Using crystals and gemstones

for readings came to my

awareness after years of

assisting customers pick

gemstones in my own retail

store in Florida, The Crystal

Garden. Customers often want

to know what stone will bring

them love, or which crystal will

clear negativity from their lives.

My recommendation is to stand

before the jewelry counter or

the display of tumbled

gemstones. Then allow your

eyes to gravitate to what is

drawing your attention. Try it.

Go to your local jewelry or

metaphysical store and ask

yourself, “What pieces are

attractive to me in this

moment?”

Once you’ve chosen all the

stones you are attracted to,

look up the meaning of the

gemstone in one of my books,

The Essential Guide to Crystals,

Minerals and Stones. Chakra

Awakening, or Color Your Life

with Crystals. Read further

about what you have chosen.

You might be astonished at the

accuracy of what that stone

represents. Deeper

understanding of yourself aids

in awakening your

consciousness and the mystic

within. The process of self-

discovery using this process is

also fun.


I was so inspired that I created

The Angels and Gemstone

Guardians Cards to provide

guidance and positive

thoughtforms to transform

reality in an easily accessible

way for everyone.

The combination of these tools

– angels, gemstones, and the

oracle - brings a powerful trio to

the intuitive readers table and

beyond. These tools are for

everyone because everyone

has the ability to connect with

the Divine and receive intuitive

insight to guide each person on

their path. The power of

positive thinking has been

proven time and again. All

these components are found

within The Angels and

Gemstone Guardians Cards.

How to use the The

Angels and Gemstone

Guardians Cards Start by asking your angels and

guides to be part of the session.

Open your heart, mind and

spirit to receive the information

that will help at this moment. It

is best to have a specific

question or request for

guidance on a particular area

of your life. There is no question

to mundane or esoteric when

using The Angels and

Gemstone Guardians Cards.

Shuffle the deck. As you shuffle

keep your attention on your

intention and notice if there are

any cards that are either

“jumping” out or revealing

themselves to you by the way

they blend back in the deck.

Pull one to three cards per

question. Usually the answer

arrives within the first card.

On the front side of each card

is the divination. On the back

side, the angel of that area of

life offers positive thoughtforms

to repeat and affirm to shift

your consciousness to focus on

what you do want vs. what you

don’t want. That’s the

transformational aspect of

using this deck. Remove what

isn’t working and use your

imagination and action to

create the reality you really

want in your life.

Let’s say you want to know if it

is safe for you to speak your

truth in a matter of importance

in your life. You shuffle the deck


and the amazonite card

comes out of the deck.

The front side of the card says:

“Amazonite Are you holding

back something you need to

say? The truth about a certain

matter needs to be spoken.

Honesty is important at this

time. Have the courage to

speak up with grace. Loving

words have the power to heal

or improve a situation.”

Then when you flip over the

card the Angel of Truth and

Honesty provide this positive

thoughtform:

“I live my truth and honestly

communicate what is on my

mind with ease. I effortlessly find

the words to express my truth

and speak eloquently and

lovingly. I surround myself with

people who are not afraid to

honestly express themselves.”

Everyone can always benefit

from more love. “You are love.

Your true essence is love. Be

aware that you are love in all

you do, say, think, feel, smell,

taste or know, and you will be

happy and healthy all the days

of your life.” Margaret Ann
