Found this at the same store in Aurora. I grabbed this because of the shape (long like that in a bin of round, mis-shapen stones). I later found that this stone is manufactured, but there are still some great qualities to it, and besides, I still think it's pretty!
Keywords: Protects psychic and empathic sensitivities. Aids communication, pain relief. Provides composure and stabilizes emotions. Good for lifting depression and anxiety.

Apatite
I found this at a wicked new age shop in Aurora. It was the only store I've seen that had such a MASSIVE variety in stones, and the only store that I regret not buying something from. (They had a beautiful painting that just put me in awe whenever I saw it. At the time I thought that $150 was steep for it, now I'd pay twice that for it.)
Well, I picked this one out because it was shaped very differently from the others. When I brought it to the counter, the clerk commented on what a unique form of apatite this was. I didn't realize until later that it was really unique. I have some other type of it, and it looks completely different. (Will post those pics later.)
Keywords: Erases sadness, irritability, and anger. Brings out the best inner-self. Optimism, acceptance of circumstances and people, healing, communicating, balancing, teaching. Enhances creativity, learning, coordination. Achieve deep states of meditation, clear thoughts. Extended use promotes unconditional love, willingness to let go of useless aspects of life (Helps one to let go of harmful things).

Amethyst Clusters
I have so many of these clusters, I'll be updating the photos as I take them. I just love these things. They look so pretty on the desk, and they're great for charging whatever new stones I buy and cleanse.

Black Onyx Sphere
I bought this sphere from a vendor in a mall down in the city. It think it was the eve of the Solstice, it was a significant solstice. I think it was the beginning of winter, so it was the longest night, which was significant somehow. (Sorry, I don't celebrate u_u)
Anyway, this one has a rainbow in it. It's kinda hard to see, but I tried to get it in the photograph. There's also a bit of a chip on the bottom, which I'd love to heal on this, but I'm afraid I don't know how.
Keywords: Banish grief, enhance self-control, stimulate the power of wise decision-making, encourage happiness and good fortune. Helps to absorb, from the universe, energies that are needed. Strengthens intuition (helps one 'feel' guiding forces).

Aqua Aura
I found this gem at my regular Hedge Witch store sometime in the mid-2000s. It caught my eye in the display case and I asked the woman behind the counter about it. It's a quartz crystal that is electrified with gold and the two are somehow infused together creating this beautiful blue.

Agate - Moss
I think I picked this up from the Ontario Science Centre (if I'm not mistaken). It was on a trip to a strange place that I don't visit often, and this just jumped out at me from the gift shop. Many stores will carry the familiar clear-plexi bins that hold the standard fare of stones (amethyst, quartz, hematite, Apache Tears, etc.) and this one just... leapt out at me. I liked the difference between the white and green.

I found this piece at my local new age store called The Hedge Witch. I was in an amber mood and needed a stone. This one wasn't very strong in attracting me, but I did select it out of a bin of dozens. It felt right for what was there.
