Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico.
​Galena


This grey mineral forms as cube, skeletal or net like formations, octahedra, fibres, and masses. Galena is a grounding stone and allows a centring of personal energy. It connects the physical and ethereal bodies and brings a sense of harmony to being. It is said that galena is useful for those who are studying medicine and is able to encourage a holistic understanding to the process of wellness.


Ganophyllite


This brown to yellow mineral appears in foliated masses, rosettes, and short tabular prismatic crystals. Ganophyllite is used to assist in physical protection and to bring contact to power animals when required. It can be used to further bring about maturity and generosity with broad minded attitudes. It is said to help calm the intellect and improve clarity of perception.


Garnet


Garnet appears in many colours and forms, but often occurs in trapezohedral/dodecahedral masses, grains, or plate formations. Garnet is used to bring about good health, and is said to cleanse the negative energy from all of the chakras. The Native American Indians, South American Indians, Aztecs, and Mayans all valued garnet for its enlightening qualities. It is said to bring expansiveness and higher awareness to the holder, encouraging cooperation in times of change. Garnet is believed to assist with the development of kundalini energy, stimulating the base and the crown chakras.


Gaudefroyite


This black and glassy mineral forms prismatic crystals. It is formed when quartz crystals become displaced by black hematite, forming a back hematite quartz. Goudefroyite stimulates dream awareness and increases memory. It is said to bring about greater initiative and independence of thought. This mineral is used to improve philosophical thinking and allows a direct approach to life's problems.


Gehlenite


This grey, yellow, or clear mineral forms as masses, grains, pebbles, and short prismatic crystals. It is said to enhance second-sight, intuition, and ability to manifest through visualisation. Gehlenite opens the practical abilities and is said to allow awareness within manual activity. This stone is used to improve optimism and encourages a happy outlook on life.


Genthelvite




This stone forms in many colours including yellow, purple, green, pink, brown, and black. It is found in rounded aggregations and tetrahedra. It is said to allow the heart to be more open to love and intelligence toward spiritual matters. It brings about a progression that removes negativity and regenerates healthy attitudes. Genthelvite is said to increase liberal awareness and to dispel prejudice.


Geode


A geode is a special rock formation that contains a cavity which is the matrix to several inward pointing crystals. It can be formed from a number of different crystals, typically though a geode contains quartz, amethyst, citrine, or calcite. These formations are believed to enhance one's ability to see the whole picture before taking action, can be used to further mathematical ability and to improve astral travel. The geode is said to allow the holder to create their own future.


Gismondine


This colourless, grey, or red mineral forms tetragonal double pyramids. It maintains and sustains the essential part of one's being while giving permission for spirit to assist in the journey. Gismondine is believed to produce a sense of boundless intuition and adaptable thinking.


Goethite


This yellow, red, orange, and brown mineral forms in many varieties including masses, grains, stalactites, needles, and radial shaped stars. Goethtite brings fresh energy into new discoveries and is said to bring about communication with angels. This stone is believed to increase clairaudience and abilities with divining.


Gold


This yellow metal forms in flakes, grains, masses, plates, and nuggets. It can occasionally be found in rare crystalline forms such as cubes and octahedra. This metal symbolises all that is and assists in the spiritual development in all areas. Gold is said to eliminate the ego and improve character by bringing forward new knowledge and learning experiences. It has been used in opening the third eye during meditation.


Gypsum


This white, colourless, green, yellow, honey, blue or red mineral forms grains, fibre, prisms, and tabular crystals. It often referred to as Selenite when in crystal form, and Alabaster when in mass form. When in fibrous form, it is generally referred to as Gypsum. It is believed to be able to assist the evolution of one's character and to provide extra fortification when life seems to be moving too quickly. Gypsum is often placed in the centre of a medicine wheel, bringing together all four directions. It is thought to be a lucky stone, bringing good fortune to those who carry it.
