Witchy Questions: What is your favorite gemstone?

This blog post was inspired by Question #20 from this list.

My sweet little keyring.

About a year ago, Joe an I were checking out one of the local new age stores and i ran across the keyring pictured in this post. The stone on it is a citrine, which is one of my favorite stones. It is a stone that offers protection against negativity by purifying it and dispersing it. I prefer this to onyx or hematite, which absorb negativity, requiring you to regularly cleanse them. I am a lazy witch, so a stone that does it’s job without need of maintenance on my part is always a plus.

I appreciate being able to keep this little citrine on me because as someone who is highly sensitive to other peoples energies and moods, having things that can act as filters or even a first line of defense is good for me. And also, it helps keeping my own moods and insecurities from mucking up my aura too badly.
