Crystal Meanings | Are they Reliable?

Do you find that your usual crystal meanings and usual go-to correspondences are dependable?

For example, has your go-to rose quartz or amethyst been as reliable as of late? I’m not necessarily asking if they’re “weaker,” but are they not working for you in the way that you've come to rely on?

Or maybe it’s that they’re working but they're just "different".

I'm asking because in all the years I've been working with and researching crystals, this is the first time I've noticed such a huge shift and many others (students, graduates and so many in our Crystal Family) have brought this to my attention too.

In a recent poll I did; 82% said this is the case for them. Whoa! That's a lot.

Crystals are millions of years old, some are even billions of years old. That's just a drop in the bucket, in the grand scheme of a crystal's life cycle. Right? So, perhaps this shift in energy many of us are experiencing is just part of a natural cycle. It could also be a change in certain crystals' vibrational frequencies. I'll get into the "why" of that in just a bit here.

Crystal Meanings Being Influenced By Energetic Shifts

Citrine (The Baked Variety)

I’ve noticed lately that the baked variety of Citrine seems to have diminished with respect to its power. Now, the baked variety of citrine is the most widely available. It has more of that orange tint to it. You'd be hard-pressed to find a large geode that's real-deal citrine.

Me? I prefer to stay away from man-made and man-altered as much as possible, Babe.

Congo and Brazil citrine, now here's a different animal! Both completely natural and I love 'em. With these types ts of citrine, I've actually found their power to be amp'ed up. Brazil citrine is an excellent crystal to pick up, less expensive than Congo citrine, however, harder to identify it from the fake stuff for some.

Rose Quartz

Now, this is an interesting one. I don't personally find this to be true for myself, but many of our Crystal Family Members are saying that Rose Quartz is no longer helping with matters of the heart. Which, as you know, is something it's widely believed to influence. Again, not my personal experience with this crystal at the mo' but it's clearly happening to others. So, noted!

Veracruz Amethyst

Veracruz Amethyst is traditionally a go-to for calming the mind; an excellent stone to work with when looking for assistance with meditation. However, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Is this true for you? This might not be true for everybody across the board, just something that I've noticed.

Selenite

The way I use Selenite has changed as well. I've found that as of late, I enjoy meditating with selenite. Which is very odd because I used to use Veracruz amethyst to do that.

Reason is: selenite's usual mega-impact higher frequency energy has seemed to have lowered its amplitude and calmed down quite a bit. I feel like this is a perfect example of how a crystal isn't necessarily weaker but instead working extremely well in another capacity.

Moldavite

Moldavite is a crystal that's traditionally considered to be super-high energy. However, lately, I and many others have found it to be lacking in this quality. Which I'm sure you would agree is quite strange for moldavite.

Other Crystals Experiencing a Possible Energy Shift

K2 Granite - aka K2 "jasper" has a gray and white modeled background with the beautiful blue azurite spots in it. Oddly enough it seems to have started to darken, which could indicate that there's an intense energy exchange happening with it.
Herkimer Diamond - yet another one that seems to be suddenly lacking in regards to its energy; lackluster, dampened
Smokey Quartz - a crystal that used to be known for a gentler de-toxing energy. Today a lot of people are referring to it as their go-to crystal for lively energy and high focus. A new popular fav too, whereas in the past it was not as popular.

Cosmic Shifts

There've been some mega-energy shifts impacting not just Earth but our entire Solar System. I'm sure you've heard plenty of people bring up the topic of climate change. However, climate change is not specific to Earth, ya know. It's happening on a number of other planets as well. The energy changing our Solar System is obviously impacting (evolving) the energetics of our planet, Mama Earth. Which means that Earth's crystal beds are being impacted as well.

What could be causing all these changes?

Well, scientists have recently discovered that gamma-ray levels reaching our planet, have increased tremendously. These bursts of cosmic rays come from massive supernovae, quasars, all sorts of cosmic sources we're surrounded by in space.

3 Reasons Why our Exposure to Cosmic Rays is on the Rise

We're in the Modern Grand Solar Minimum

Meaning our Sun is in a state relative minimal activity (few sunspots, prominences, flares, etc). When our Sun is in a state of high activity it creates a very strong protective magnetic field.

2. Earth's magnetic poles are shifting

Earth's poles influence Earth's magnetic field. So, when the poles start to shift, our highly protective magnetic shield becomes weaker.

3. Galactic Void

Our solar system isn't sitting still just floating in space.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, as a whole, is spinning around the black hole at the center of the galaxy. Our Sun, too, travels in a spiral path through the Milky Way, bringing all of the planets that orbit it along for the ride. I LOVE how this video helps us visualize our Solar System's vortex-voyage through the Milky Way galaxy:

SUPER-COOL! Right?

As we vortex through the galaxy we're now entering a new zone, what we refer to as the "Local Bubble"; a new area of the Milky Way where it's a sort of void; there's less cosmic gas and dust in this "bubble" that would normally act as an additional protective shield from those outside cosmic rays.

Cosmic Energy Shifting and How it Affects Us + Crystals

Can cosmic rays impact DNA? Yes. And it's happened multiple times in the past.

But, these rays can impact more than just DNA; they can spark volcanoes, earthquakes, and other tectonic activity.

Here's the important bit that directly impacts the crystals: scientists believe the reason cosmic rays impact tectonic activity is that cosmic ray particles thin out the silica-rich magma layer.

As the temperature increases, the energy also increases. Meaning the silica-rich magma layer becomes thinner. So, there’s been a change in the energy present at an atomic and molecular level!

So, basically, the shift we're all feeling, the crystals are feeling as well.

The word "silica" refers to silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is what quartz is made of. (Amethyst is just silicon dioxide with the additional inclusion of iron.) Also, I should mention that silicates are minerals that have silica in it. Meaning it's not just silicon dioxide; it could be any mineral that has silica in it like black tourmaline. Silicates make up many of our crystals and scientists are giving us the data that the cosmic rays are directly impacting, thinning out the silica-rich magma and the silicates... all pointing to the possibility of the silicates being the crystals most affected by all of this.

Light = Information

I feel these cosmic rays (light angles or "Angels" of Light) carry within their light-encoded frequencies, information; such as new programs and transformative overtones presenting themselves as DNA upgrades and crystal atomic remodeling. Meaning, some crystals will be downloading amazing intel!

Cosmic rays UPGRADE and change all matter, including crystals AND our DNA.

Also, let me address the last part of that statement regarding DNA: I'm sure some people might be a bit concerned by the thought of a change in our DNA. I don't feel this is necessarily damaging to our DNA... or our crystals.

High-frequency cosmic rays are completely different from other man-made forms of high-frequency radiation that can damage our DNA.

What I'm sayin' is there's a BIG DIFFERENCE between man-created and Source-created high-frequency rays. You won't find most scientists backing up that statement but this comes from a deep inner knowing:

Cosmic rays are Source-created, and therefore flawless, organized information.

If Our Crystals Change...

The final point I want to leave you with is this...

If our crystals are changing we may need to re-learn how to interact with them moving forward; spend some time getting to know them all over again. (And I very much look forward to that experience.)

That's really all it comes down to, and that's exactly why I don't teach my students to memorize crystal meanings or correspondences in my Certified Crystal Healer Course.

I'd love to know, have you noticed that some of the crystals you work with have had an energetic shift, seem different, more powerful or simply no longer work for you? Let me know in the comments down below! The more input we get from each other, the more we can collectively learn and grow.

Crystal Blessings,

Do you find that your usual crystal meanings and correspondences are dependable? For example, has your go-to rose quartz or amethyst been as reliable as you’d expect it to be as of late? I’m not necessarily asking if they’re “weaker,” but are they not working for you in the way that you'd expect? Or maybe it’s that they’re working but in a different capacity.

So, perhaps this shift in energy you and I are experiencing is part of a natural cycle. It could also be the result of a change in certain crystals' vibrational frequencies. Or outside of what the cause might be, perhaps you need to simply rediscover what your crystal's new meaning is.

Now the baked variety of citrine is the most widely available and it has more of an orange tint to it. You'll be hardpressed to find a large geode that's real citrine. Personally, I prefer to avoid man-made and man-altered as much as I possibly can.

Congo and Brazil citrine, however, are both completely natural. With these variants of citrine, I've actually found an amplification in power. Brazil citrine is an excellent crystal to pick up; however, it's much harder to identify in comparison to Congo.

Rose Quartz

This is an interesting one. I don't personally find this to be true for myself, but many of our crystal family members are saying that Rose Quartz is no longer offering assistance with matters of the heart. Which as you know is something it's widely believed to influence. Again, not my personal experience with this crystal at the moment but it's clearly happening to others.

Smoky quartz is a crystal that used to be known for a calmer detoxing energy. Today a lot of people are referring to it as their go-to crystal for lively energy and high focus. Herkimer diamonds is yet another one that seems to be suddenly lacking in regards to it's energy.

Energy Shifts Within The Solar System

What's also very interesting is that there have been substantial energy shifts impacting not just earth but our entire solar system as well. To give you an example I'm sure you've heard plenty of people bring up the topic of climate change. However, climate change is not specific to earth, it's happening on a number of other planets as well. Everything happening on the larger scale throughout the solar system is impacting the energetics of our planet, mama Earth. Which means that Earth's crystal beds are being impacted as well.

Scientists have recently discovered that gamma-ray levels reaching our planet, have increased tremendously. From here moving forward I'll be referring to x rays and gamma-rays as cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are high energy radiation that originates from distant galaxies. The theory is that these bursts of cosmic rays could be coming from a massive supernova. A supernova is indicative of the final stage in a star's lifecycle, where the star experiences an enormous explosion. Eventually, the radiation from that explosion has the potential to reach our planet.

Why Exactly Are These Cosmic Rays Just Now Reaching Our Planet?

We're in the modern grand solar minimum

Meaning our Sun is in a state relatively minimal activity. When our Sun is in a state of high activity, it creates a very strong magnetic field. This magnetic field protects our solar system from things like cosmic rays and UV light.

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting

Earth's poles influence Earth's magnetic field. So when the poles start to shift the magnetic shield of our own planet also starts to become weaker.

Our solar system isn't static

The Milky Way galaxy is always spinning around the black hole that is at the center of the galaxy. While the Milky Way spins our sun travels in a spiral path, bringing all of the planets that orbit it along. As we travel through the galaxy we enter what we refer to as the "local bubble." A spot in the Milky Way where there are less cosmic gas and dust that would normally act as an additional protectant from cosmic rays.

The Science Behind Energy Shifting

Cosmic rays can impact more than just DNA, they can spark volcanoes, earthquakes, and other tectonic activity. Scientists believe the reason cosmic rays impact tectonic activity is that cosmic ray particles thin out the silica-rich magma layer. As the temperature increase, the energy also increases. Meaning the silica-rich magma layer becomes less viscous or thinner. So, there’s been a change in the energy present at an atomic and molecular level!

The word silica refers to silicon dioxide, which is what quartz is made of. Amethyst is just silicon dioxide with the additional inclusion of iron. Also, I should mention that silicates are minerals that have silica in it. Meaning it's not just silicon dioxide, it could be any mineral that has silica in it like black tourmaline.

Crystal

Let’s start this blog off with a question... Do you have too many crystals and feel like you don't have enough time for them all? Maybe you still haven't found the time or a good enough reason to learn how to work with your crystals effectively. This seems to be a common problem among a number of our crystal family members!

Maybe you've been acquiring more and more crystals as of late thinking a more significant collection is going to make it all fall into place. Then you find yourself suffering from information overload! When we feel things are just too overwhelming to handle, we often succumb to the pressures of everyday life and throw our problems on the back burner.

I feel very strongly that no matter how busy we are, we can make time to learn and create the experiences we need. There's a reason you're being called to crystals. All you need to do is put the proper steps in place to overcome crystal overwhelm.
