I'm planning on getting two stones associated with Scorpio; turquoise and malachite. I was just wondering if other Scorpios have used them (or any other Scorpio stones) and if so, how. Although turquoise is generally considered a stone of war or con- flict, it is reported to calm the Scorpio. Malachite reportedly helps us to go deeper by unblocking our perceptions. Malachite is related to the 3rd (solar plexus) chakra and turquoise is related to the fifth (throat) chakra, so I'm sure they can be implemented there, but I know very little about the astrological use of gemstones. Since I am a Wittan, I use crystals in rituals and these are all astrologiclaly timed and arranged, and I use the crystals directly on my chakras, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience or observations regarding turquoise or malachite.
Garnet and obsidian are supposed to balance the first chakra (root chakra) which is associated with the genitals/anus ... yknow, the Scorp zone. They're dark red and black, two colors associated with Scorpio. I know less than nothing about using gemstones in this way but would be interested to find out what you've learned and experienced on this ...
Garnet is my usual stone to use on my root chakra. I use it with musk essential oil and the note C (middle C), with which I chant Om. I visualize red energy entering the chakra, which has four petals. You can find good representations of the root chakra and others, online. I have little experience using obsidian. At the root chakra, I seem to get a better response from garnet. I have used red (fire) agate, too. I have used my snowflake obsidian at the alter major chakra (at the back of the head), which it is associated with. It seems to have a strong effect, although I am focusing my attention on other chakras at this time Root, sacral, solar plexus). I'll focus on the alter major when the time is right. Ruth White's book, Working With Your Chakras is a good one. It does not cover the astrological applications and associations, though.
