There are a number of ways that these beautiful crystals can aid you as mentioned above, and one of these is the way they may help if you have bad dreams.

At times, many of you may find that you experience bad dreams and these may be very distressing especially if they are very bad dreams we call nightmares.

If you find that you have this type of dream and that it wakes you in the middle of the night, this can be very disturbing and it can be hard to get back to sleep.

Undergoing periods of change may be distressing, so it can be helpful to get extra help when this is happening.

Keeping them nearby can also be beneficial to help concentration and they are known to help you to think more clearly when you are finding it difficult.

How Will It Help You?

Lake Superior Agate have a beneficial energy to help you to find relief at times when you are feeling downhearted and need to be emotionally lifted.

These stones are helpful to encourage emotional balance by helping you to feel in control and aware of the need to stabilize your feelings and emotions.

They are good grounding stones with a strong energy to ground you.

This may uplift you when you lack the emotional strength to carry on doing the things you need to get done.

Other properties of Lake Superior Agate includes their action to balance your male-female vibration also called the yin-yang energy.

If your yin-yang is unbalanced you may either feel overly passive, and often this type of person is submissive and compliant even if it is not really what they want.

Alternatively your energy may be out of control, even aggressive and again this may not be what you desire, especially if you are over-active and find it hard to switch off.

By balancing the male-female energy of your body you can do both. Being balanced can help you to more easily build rapport with other people and be more compatible with their energy.

So it may be helpful to create improvements in all of your relationships. Any of the stones that have blue colored inclusions resonate quite well within the throat chakra. 

These stones are also good crystals for truth and this may both help you to speak the truth and to also be aware when other people are not telling the truth.

This is a quite interesting energy that may help you in many areas of your life, as being aware of the authenticity of other people can help you to better understand their attitude in a conversation.

My Final Thoughts

I don't suggest putting these crystals in the bedroom even if you feel their properties may benefit you.

As they are a type of agate, this means that they contain quartz. Having quartz nearby can cause sleep issues for some people. If you wish to use them in the bedroom test it and see, but be aware it could cause problems.

In summary: There are a number of ways you can use them including wearing them during the day, as keeping them within your energy field could be helpful.

One easy way to wear them is to buy a macrame crystal holder.

All types of quartz can be programmed too, so that if you place them where you spend the most time, such as the living area. They can resonate ideas that can help you and everyone who is there.

If you don't know how to program crystals there is an in-depth article here. It is easy to do and can be very helpful.

Remember: keep your thoughts positive while you are programming them and endeavor to use positive affirmations or thoughts in your program.

This stone has been selected as the official gemstone for Minnesota. The meaning of the name of this stone relates to the location where it is found on the shores of Lake Superior.

While it is commonly found in Minnesota, it is found on Lake Superior beaches in both the United States and Canada. 

These stones were created during lava eruptions in the area around a billion years ago.

The mineral make-up of the area where they are found is rich in iron, so this is why many of the stones have orange coloration as mentioned above.

These stones were created by the movement of the various minerals in the lava flow, and were brought to the surface by the glacial movements in the past.

Many of these lovely agates have beautiful swirling patterns in the stone, with the mix of quartz or chalcedony with other minerals.

In particular iron is often present, which creates the beautiful bright colors and attractive markings in them.

Most pieces of this stone are small, and while larger pieces are less common it is possible to obtain them.

The colors in this stone are commonly found in the orange-red-yellow spectrum. 

This relates to the level of iron and its oxidation within the soil during the creation of these stones, and the mineral Limonite is commonly included in stones that have a orange or yellowish coloration. 

It is common for this agate to have other colors, including swirls of white, red, grey, greyish blue, blue or black.
