Subject: I promised a post on gemstone healing (long)

Crystals are formed deep withing the earth as superheated gases and mineral-rich solutions work their way toward the surface through cracks and fissures. As they cool, the atoms that up until this point have been agitated, start to arrange themselves into more stable patterns. The atoms arrange themselves in regular three-dimensional patterns (crystal lattices) where every atom has found the most balanced arrangement possible. The crystals can dissolve and reshape, depending on the conditions around it. The beneficial properties of crystals stems from the fact that they are orderly and stable. When subjected to outside force - heat, pressure - crystals are able to make small adjustments to restore their internal stability. This is one of the reasons they are so widely used in things like lasers and watches.

The structure of a crystal means that it can absorb, focus and then transmit electromagnetic energy. Science hasn't any proof of healing through crystals, but it *has* proven that a crystal placed in an energy field will collect the energy and contain it. Many people believe that crystals work through the aura - the subtle magnetic field that surrounds the physical body. Also, Silicon is a major component of both crystals and our bodies. It's been suggested that energy might be transferred between the Silicon in the crystal and the Silicon in the body.

Gemstone therapy goes hand in hand with the Chakras. Chakras are energy centers that run up the spine to the crown of the head linking electromagnetic bodies to the physical. Humans have seven major chakras as well as one above the head, one below the feet, and a higher heart chakra just above the heart. Each chakra is associated with a color and certain stones are used to balance or stimulate the area. (Very long, but if you want a list I'll be happy to type it up.) The chakras must be balanced for physical and emotional health.

Stones can be placed on the body, carried in the pocket, placed around the house or worn. If you're going to wear the stone as jewelry, silver chains or rings allow better transference of energy. Also, stones should be cleared frequently. When you first acquire a stone it contains energy from every person that has handled it. Clear it by holding under running water for several minutes and allowing it to dry in sun or moonlight.

This is such a huge topic. Tell me what you want to know. What stones draw you? More about chakras and stones (slightly different for humans and animals, BTW)? It's often enlightening to see what our favorite stones are benefical for.

One last thing...Quartz crystals gather energy, alter it and release it. Black stones, like obsidian, gather and do not release making them useful for negative emotions and toxins (but them must be cleared often).
