The Crystal Connection

January 30, 2016

The world of crystals is a magical one. There are special meanings within each uniquely beautiful stone that come from their energetic properties. By keeping these special gems close by, you can pick up on delicate vibrations to enhance your mind, body and soul.

Life takes us on a variety of journeys, so the Dolls always keep a little extra magic in our pocket or purse. Not only are different stones beautiful to admire and collect, but also most of these gifts from the earth come with a tale.

A tale the Dolls believe to be true.

Crystals amplify the consciousness.” – Shirley MacLaine

Dollhouse Crystals

We do have beautiful crystal collections but the Dolls are constantly giving stones to sprinkle some sparkle on their path. That means there’s a big turn around!  Perhaps we will meet you out one day and pass on a tiger’s eye, amethyst or any stone we can feel that you need in your life at that moment.crystals-1

With each crystal you ever receive, spend some time with it. Learn about its principles, origin and set a mantra for each stone. This way you’ll know which one your spirit is craving at a given time.

We will be featuring different stones on the blog monthly in our series, Crystal Chronicles. These stones may guide you ito a magical place, and when you’re ready to start a collection you will know where to go. When we are in different cities we always make it a point to find a crystal shop and get a little something. But in Chicago we have our set places we have grown very connected too.

    I used to be big into these. I wore a quartz around my neck at all times. Had nothing to do with the fact that they were shiny and pretty too… cough cough.

    Loved learning about crystals. Crystal is my name even though it’s spelled Krystle. My mom got the spelling from a soap opera LOL.

    • Dollhouse says

    I like the photos you’ve posted. I have a pink stone that I found in the ocean. I love how smooth the stone is. It’s as though the ocean acted as a tumbler. I’ve had this for over 15 years now.

    My husband loves collecting crystals and rocks. I never realized how many special meanings and powers they had until I met him. It’s amazing what nature can produce.

    • Dollhouse says

    I love crystals and learning about their meanings and powers. I found this store at the mall that I love where you can get gemstone and crystal items. I buy loose stones, and bought a tree made for my desk that is made out of bloodstone.

    • Dollhouse says

      February 16, 2016 at 3:20 pm

      Hi Yona, That’s wonderful! Loose stones are great to carry in your purse or pocket for a little extra magic. Your desk sounds beautiful. Would love to see a photo! XO

    I just read a book about crystals and it seemed so interesting. I had never tried or owned any before but it sounds cool.

    • Dollhouse says

      February 16, 2016 at 3:16 pm

      Krystal, that is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. Are there any crystals that speak to you in particular?

About

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
