Beautiful,
ancient and mystical, crystals possess the healing power of the earth
and are a concentrated "receiver" for healing vibrations
as well as a tool for mental and spiritual focus. Just as quartz crystals
are used in modern day technology for receiving and stabilizing electronic
frequencies, the ancients honored and utilized the mystical properties
of gemstones.
I've
found the most comprehensive reference book on the metaphysical properties
of crystals, minerals, gems and stones to be Love
Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals by Melody. This
is considered "The Bible" for crystal workers and metaphysical
students. Her companion book, Love
Is in the Earth - Mineralogical Pictorial is a fantastic
resource for identification, featuring full-color photographs of more
crystals and minerals than you believed existed.
Our
first article, The Essence of Crystals,
is from Reiki Master & Holistic Practitioner, Nancy J. Walton.
This is a great beginners guide to choosing the right crystals, their
application for healing and how they correspond to the chakras.
Our second article, Properties of Gemstones, Crystals and Sacred Symbols, is a guide to some of the more popular gemstones and explains the meaning of several sacred symbols. This article is from our Soul2Soul Treasures site where you can shop for crystal and gemstone jewelry.
