"My" crystal came home to me

I have lived, worked, and played with crystals my entire life and most intensely for the past 33 years. I have acquired hundreds of them, given some away, sold some, lost some, and have those who have been my mainstays during this entire time. I meditate with them, write with them, wear them in jewlery, and usually have at least one in my pocket. Crystals are beings to me, beings who can communicate with me and I with them. They have rock consciousness and when we can tune in to that, they are willing to share a lot of information with us. I know this sounds crazy to some people and that's fine. I talk to other supposedly inanimate objects and plants and animals, too.

A year or so ago, a friend and colleague of mine was moving and I felt inspired to give her one of my crystals. I looked through them, held them, and then felt one of them was the one to gift her with. It was a smaller, double-terminated elestial quartz - a stone that can be used for guidance, healing, and contacting the angelic realms. I didn't want to give this stone away but felt it needed to go and be with her. I gave it to her and forgot about it.

Two days ago, I got a box in the mail from this friend, opened it and found three gifts: a chaplet (similar to a rosary or mala), a piece of rose quartz (the ultimate love stone), and the elestial I had given her the year before. When I asked her about it, she said the crystal indicated it had done its work with her and it was time for the crystal to return to me. Now I understood my reluctance to gift her with the stone in the first place.

Here's where it gets really good. My birthday is my new year and every year there is one crystal that is my main one to work with that year. Sometimes I purchase a new one and other times a crystal I already have steps forward to be my special stone. My birthday is in early October and this is the time of year I assess where I've been in the past 12 months and where I think I might be headed in the next 12. It is also time to find out who will be my special crystal for the year. Yes, of course, this one raised its little energetic hand and say, "I am - that's why I came back now!"

Thank you to my friend who listened to the crystal and sent it back to me. We are having a great reunion and are looking forward to the work we'll be doing over the next year. I know this all sounds crazy to those who don't believe in or haven't experienced the aliveness in rocks. That's okay. You can just say, "Oh, that Krysta must be totally stoned out of her mind!" I guess in a way I am.
