i have with me a quartz crystal approximately the size of the last joint of my thumb, who has been with me since i was about 8 years old (im 26 now). a few years ago when i learned they were alive and conscious i began my attempts at communication with it. ive taken to calling it Crystal Friend, and it seems pleased with the name. Crystal Friend has helped me in some powerful healings of my body, and many, many energetic clearings. my question to you all is, what do crystals like? hot water and charging in sun/moonlight, sure, but i want to do right by my crystal friend, who's helped me so much so many times.
