More About Pendulums
People who use a pendulum believe that the answer to every question an individual may ever ask is already in their subconscious mind. They believe that a pendulum can be used to form a link with this information on a very subtle level. The information a pendulum gives us - usually in the form of 'yes' or 'no' answers - through the manner of its rotation, can then help in pursuits such as finding missing objects, locating ley lines (energy lines in the earth), locating weaknesses or strengths within the human aura and helping us to make decisions.

A pendulum should not be used as a crutch to help us decide every which way to go in life. It should be used with the intention to truly help us grow, always seeking answers that can contribute to the greater good.

If you wanted to, you could use a stone attached to a piece of string as a pendulum. The reason there are different styles and shapes is purely for preference. Simply choose the shape and material that appeals to you. For a crystal pendulum you may choose a stone that has qualities that you wish to see appearing more in your life.

More Information About Each Crystal
Clear quartz is also referred to as Crystal Quartz or Rock Quartz. As a healing tool clear quartz combines well with nearly all other crystals. Words that are used to describe the properties of clear quartz are spiritual, divine, cleansing, focussing, higher power, programmable, psychic, balancing and healing. Clear quartz as a term is often used to describe some clear quartz that does have markings or milkiness within it. The reason for that is to distinguish it from other quartz derived crystals such as amethyst, rose quartz, citrine, aventurine etc. Some refer to it as the master healer stone and It is one of the main tools used by crystal healers because of its balancing and cleansing / neutralising properties. It is good to hold or have around whenever you feel foggy, uncertain or would like to see your way more clearly. It is one of the most frequently used crystals by healers because of its wide-ranging benefits.

The wonderfully coloured Amethyst, with its variety of shades of purple reminds us of the spiritual thread that runs through our life and can be used as a tool to aid spiritual awakening and intuition. Amethyst can bring a calming influence and therefore be of great help in times of change. It's excellent to hold or have by you when you're practicing meditation and when placed in a room it can help absorb negativity. Placed under the pillow it may help you sleep better.

Sodalite is so named due to its sodium content. Its appearance has some similarities to lapis lazuli but anyone familiar with both can usually distinguish between them. The gentle spiritual energy of sodalite promotes the need to become more complete and unify the sub-conscious, conscious and higher consciousness. When we feel more complete in this way we are able to trust more the subtle things we feel - things that can easily be dismissed as 'just a feeling'. With this new connection fears about spiritual matters can resolve themselves.

Citrine is often found in areas where there has been intense heat (in the past or present), such as volcanic regions. When amethyst is heated in this way, it turns into citrine.  Citrine is a stone that often reflects light in a sunny and warming fashion. It is a crystal of creativity and positive expression of who we truly are. This gives us a good feeling and impacts on those around us in a positive way.

Agates can be considered a great stone to have around you in a business or work environment as it promotes good communication, a positive disposition and fruitfulness and because it helps you to feel your own true worth, so you will be able to put your views across in a direct yet amenable way. It is also a relaxing crystal and helps promote laughter, relaxation and good feelings. The energy of citrine can help us feel more balanced and eliminate negativity. The energy of agates is comforting and soothing, so it's a good tool to have around if you feel in need of relaxation, stress-relief or want to stop worrying. The energy reminds us that we need to take a step back sometimes to regain balance and release negativity and anxious thoughts from our lives.  Agates are lovely stones to have around where you sit, work or live. Their many colours and patterns make them attractive stones and they make wonderful ornaments if simply placed on a windowsill or desk. Agates can come in a whole variety of patterns and colours. Agates with exceptionally bright colours such as bright turquoise and vibrant pink have usually been dyed. 

Hematite has been used extensively throughout history. For example, it was the chosen stone for mourning jewellery, worn in the past after a loved one died. Further back in history, it was once a key ingredient in the production of sealing wax and the ancient Egyptians used it to produce magical amulets. Essentially, hematite is one of the most grounding crystals. It's got an energy of calmness, balance and clarity and can assist with reducing negativity and re-balancing yourself. As the energy is so peaceful and calming, it's often chosen as an aid for helping sleep difficulties. In the same way, it can also be used for meditation and bringing about a peaceful state and clear mind.
