Crystals and Candles 
Crystals grow by reproducing themselves. They are the closest to being 'alive' of all members of the mineral kingdom. Crystals can be very beneficial as well as beautiful. All crystals have properties that can be used by all of us to help better our lives. I carry hematite, citrine and obsidian with me at all times. Hematite is a grounding stone. It clears the mind to keep one grounded. I've tested its qualities, and it has proven to me that it keeps my blood pressure normal.
Stones are of the earth. They have properties that work with us, and give positive energies that are helpful to anyone that puts faith in nature.
