Crystals for change
You are not who you were, and you need a stone that can keep up.
This book lists 47 crystals tied to change, from Alexandrite to Tanzanite. For when you're not who you were. They run A to Z, not best to worst, because nobody measures that. Every entry says what the mineral really is, how to tell a real one from a dyed or baked copy, and what each of the twelve signs is told about it.
Hold one in your hand?
Point your camera at it. You will get a name, a real-or-fake verdict and what it means for your chart, in seconds.

- Alexandrite8.5 Mohs · chrysoberyl · heart, crownAlexandrite should not exist. Beryllium collects in granite pegmatites, near the top of the crust. Chromium belongs to ultramafic rock…
Ametrine7 Mohs · quartz · solar-plexus, third-eye, crownIt is one crystal wearing two colours. Purple at one end, gold at the other, grown that way underground. The tell is the seam. Natural…
Ammonite3.5-4.5 Mohs · organic · root, crownThis was an animal. It swam, it died out with the dinosaurs, and it sank into seabed mud. The mud turned to rock and swapped the shell…
Astrophyllite3-4 Mohs · silicate · crown, third-eye, solar-plexusAstrophyllite grows in a rare kind of igneous rock, in pockets where leftover elements like titanium end up. It fans out from a centre…
Aura Quartz7 Mohs · quartz · crown, third-eye, throatThe quartz is real. It grew in rock like any other piece. Then a person put it in a vacuum chamber and bonded a film of vaporised metal…
Bismuth2-2.5 Mohs · man-made · crown, third-eyeA person made this one. Bismuth metal gets melted at around 271 degrees, cooled slowly so it grows in stepped squares, then the liquid…

Bumblebee Jasper3-5 Mohs · rock (aggregate) · solar-plexus, sacralThis one is quietly falling apart. Left in sun the orange crumbles to powder. A coin will mark it. It formed in a volcanic vent in Java…
Calcite (Coloured Varieties)3 Mohs · carbonate · sacral, solar-plexus, heartCalcite is lime that water carried and put back down in a hole in the rock. It is soft. A copper coin marks it. Drop vinegar on it and…

Around a hundred and fifty kilometres down, hot enough to melt most rock and squeezed harder than…
Fire Agate6.5-7 Mohs · chalcedony · root, sacralTilt it under a lamp. Red and gold slide across the domes, then vanish when you hold still. That fire is not pigment.

Where that water is carrying iron as well, the iron comes out…
Goldstone5-6 Mohs · man-made · sacral, solar-plexusIn Venice, four hundred years ago, a glassmaker melted sand with copper and shut the air out of the pot. As it cooled, small copper…
Labradorite6-6.5 Mohs · feldspar · third-eye, throat, crownGrey and dull, like something off a driveway. Then you tilt it under a lamp and a sheet of blue switches on inside it. That flash is…
Lepidolite2.5-3 Mohs · silicate · heart, third-eye, crownSomebody told you this one holds lithium. It does. The lithium is locked into the rock and it stays there. It cannot reach your blood…
Malachite3.5-4 Mohs · carbonate · heart, solar-plexusMalachite is rust. Copper ore sat in wet ground and the water rebuilt it into a green carbonate, band by band. So it is a copper salt…- Moissanite9.25 to 9.5 Mohs · carbide · crownIn 1893 a French chemist was sorting through fragments of an iron meteorite that had punched a crater into Arizona, and he found tiny…
Moldavite5.5-7 Mohs · volcanic glass · heart, third-eye, crownAbout fifteen million years ago an asteroid hit what is now Bavaria. The ground melted and was thrown far enough to cool into glass…

Then gold and bronze streaks flash across it in hard straight lines and disappear…- Opal5.5 to 6 Mohs · silica · crown, heartOpal is water that got into rock and never came back out. Silica dissolved in groundwater works its way down through cracks in dry…
Opalite5.5-6 Mohs · man-made · crown, third-eyeSomebody made this in a furnace. Molten glass with a little tin and titanium stirred in to scatter the light blue, then poured and…
Optical Calcite3 Mohs · carbonate · crown, third-eyeSet a clear piece over a line of writing and the line doubles. That is not a trick. Light splits in two on its way through the stone…
Orthoceras3-4 Mohs · organic · root, third-eyeThe shape in the slab was alive. A shelled animal, drifting in a warm sea hundreds of millions of years ago. It sank into mud and the…
Peridot6.5-7 Mohs · silicate · heart, solar-plexusPeridot is olivine. It is one of the main minerals of the mantle, the hot layer under the crust, and it rode up here inside magma. So…
Petrified Wood6.5-7 Mohs · organic · rootThis was a tree. It fell into mud or water and got buried before it could rot. Then silica in the groundwater moved in and swapped…
Phantom Quartz7 Mohs · quartz · third-eye, crownLook into it and there is a smaller crystal in there, with the same shape and the same points. It grew. Then it stopped, long enough for…
Pietersite6.5-7 Mohs · quartz · third-eye, solar-plexusThis was tiger's eye first. Fine blue fibres in rock, slowly replaced by quartz, all lying parallel. Then the ground moved and tore it…

Rainbow Moonstone6-6.5 Mohs · feldspar · third-eye, crown, sacralThis is white labradorite, a feldspar. It is not moonstone at all. Moonstone is a different feldspar. Somebody in the trade renamed it…
Rainbow Obsidian5-6 Mohs · volcanic glass · root, third-eyeIt is glass. The lava cooled too fast for crystals to form, so nothing inside got to finish growing. Almost nothing. Tiny rods of…
Rhodochrosite3.5-4 Mohs · carbonate · heart, solar-plexusThe pink and white bands are not a pattern anybody chose. Water carrying manganese ran through the same opening for a very long time…
Ruby in Zoisite6-9 Mohs · rock (aggregate) · heart, rootDeep underground, heat and pressure grew two things at once in one rock. Green zoisite. Red corundum, which is the mineral we call ruby…
Rutilated Quartz7 Mohs · quartz · solar-plexus, crownHold it up to a window. Those gold threads are titanium. They grew as needles in a hot crack in the rock, and quartz crystallised around…
Seraphinite2-2.5 Mohs · silicate · heart, crownSeraphinite is softer than your own fingernail. A key or a dropped coin will scar it, and water gets into the layers and ruins it. It…
