Last night, I bought a Lazurite gemstone to wear to maybe help with aspects of my life. Is there such a thing as over use? If I wear it all of the time, will it wear down the energy of the gemstone?
There is no such thing as over use with gemstones and crystals. However, with that being said, Your own energy will become use to it and dependent on it. So it is always best to, every few days, take off the gemstone and switch it for another, and cleanse the gemstone you just used.
not really. as Winter_Wolf said, the energy might weaken, absorb other energies over time, so try to cleanse it once a month. i have a few crystals i use for different things i have to cleanse monthly, afterwards i leave them on the windowsill to absorb the moonlight.
if you are wishing to use stones for your chakras, i would suggest changing the stone for different chakras. dressing in the chakras colour can help open the chakra, but you need to be aware of the colours energy.
So I live in the Pacific Northwest and very rarely is there sunlight and even less frequently moonlight due to the constant cloud cover. What else could I do to charge it?
You can charge it yourself. Let positive energy enter your body, then flow into the crystal and pool their. Look into energy work for further information
Anointing with oil can also help, as well as placing it among objects with a similar energy [like herbs, other crystals, runes] leaving it on your altar can help, but even if there are clouds the sunlight/moonlight can still charge the crystal. You might consider making lunar or solar water, so you can charge objects with the sun/moons energy.
It's fine, I was thinking more blessing oil or protection oil. The base of many of these oils are olive, canola, sometimes grapeseed. There are many methods but you basically place herbs in the oil to make something like 'blessing oil'.
Lunar/Solar water is simple to make. Take some water [some say rain water, other spring water, some use bottled, I personally feel it doesn't matter] pour it into a bowl and place it in the sun or moonlight depending on which you are making. The water will absorb the energy from the sun or moon and charge the water. Bottle the water and keep in a cool dark place. Be sure solar water doesn't sit in moonlight and vice versa as this can mix the energies. Lasts about a month, but you can always recharge it. Use this when its cloudy.
Yes it can get worn down. However it's simple to get the energy back!
You could easily put it out under the moon, under the sun, or even in the ground one night. Not only that, maybe put it in salt, or water with salt in it.
Use the elements. They have energies of there own!!
