Silver vs Gold
Is it true that a crystal mounted in silver (ie, to be worn as jewelry) is better than mounted in gold, because gold 'blocks' its powers somehow? I heard that but am not sure if it is true. If it is true, then why?

I would think that your friend was wearing 9ct gold? That can easily turn black or even green depending on when and where it is worn because of the impurities included in it.
It is far easier and cheaper to wear almost pure silver like fine silver which is 99.9% pure or sterling which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. Less impurities to cause allergies and a lovely product uncontaminated by more dangerous heavy metals.
When choosing a gemstone setting, 'gemology' asks for a precise measurement, weight and setting of gold or silver but crystal healing only asks that the stone be set happily, ideally for most, with an open back so the stone can touch the skin, and an open end so the crystal can breathe and save itself.
Jallious perhaps that is to do more with karma and negativity than the actual gold?

I read somewhere a while back that gold is considered a symbol of Christian purity when worn by those of the aforementioned faith. I wonder where the Idea that gold is the devils urine comes from? I always thought that alcohol (especially beer) was considered the devil's urine.
Personally I like silver. When I hold anything cast in solid silver in my hand I can feel it buzz, almost like it has some sort of life energy flowing through it. Gold just feels inert and lifeless.

Silver vs Gold
In the Native American Tradition Gold is considered greed and corruption where as silver is considered one of truth.
Silver is used in the enhancment of speech (thus truth, as it allows you to stumble if not speaking truth), and is considered to bring about a steady platform for other stones as it steadies their energies without interfering with the stones abilitites. Silver is excellent when working with the thymus.
This mineral is connected to the Moon. Also this helps remove negativity for the person using this mineral and renforces all positive aspects of the task at hand.
Gold is also considered an earth keeper this works with the crown chakra and some call it a master healer if this mineral is in its pure form.
As with all minerals and gemstones the person using it must ask if this is the correct mineral/stone to do a specific task, and as always never tell the mineral/stone what to do but ask that it help you in what you are seeking, as my tradition considers each to be a living entity just as you are.

gemstone metal in vedic astrology
I too have delved deep into this metal thing..
I find that according to vedic astrology, gold or silver is suggested and am convinced that silver or platinum or white gold acts better and beautiful. The think the color has more emphasis then the metal( silver colour)
One version is Kali Yuga is ruled by Venus and Venus's metal is Silver.
Also each planet is associate with a metal and element. So for that reason.

I personally won't wear gold, I get a bad feeling from it. When I got married several years ago, my fiance even bought me a silver ring because I wanted nothing to do with the gold. To this day I believe I don't have any jewelery with gold in it.

Re: Silver vs Gold
Silver is of the power of the "Moon". Gold is of the power of the "Sun". The "Moon" is of using "White light" as a positive power. The "Sun" is of using "Goldern light" as a positive power. The Moon is the feminine and the Sun is the masculine. "Golden White" means that both are in play as a team.starryskies wrote:Is it true that a crystal mounted in silver (ie, to be worn as jewelry) is better than mounted in gold, because gold 'blocks' its powers somehow?

If one does not mind alittle "Sun" with their "Moon" Life gets interesting quick relative to the power of a crystal and what that crystal can do.
Yes "gold" does affect "silver"
