Stones, crystals and gemstones are created from the magma from the Earth’s inner core. Being amongst the most ancient objects on the planet, they are believed to contain an incredibly strong energy field as well as wisdom and strength far beyond what we as humans could ever achieve. Because they are made up of tiny crystals which are in constant motion, each stone emits an energy signature or frequency, all of which possess certain properties.
Gemstones have been used for healing throughout human
history as far back as 4BC, with evidence of ancient civilizations such as the
Chinese, Egyptians, Sumerians, Greeks, Romans using gemstones for healing in
multiple ways.
I have been fascinated with magic, crystals and stones since
I was very young (so much so actually that my parents scolded me for trying to
“practice witchcraft”). I have always
believed in what most people would call magic, but what I always thought of as
the wisdom and energy of the universe. Crystals and gems are not only
unbelievably beautiful, but they contain incredible healing properties. I wear
them, keep them in my home and also meditate with them regularly.
