Metaphysical Attributes
Crystals and stones are Mother Nature's healers.
Gemstones have been vastly used for physical health and superstitious lore for influencing events Their assigned metaphysical attributes have been consistently recorded throughout history. Gemstones have been used to signify wealth and nobility; to create pigments for cosmetics, paints and inks; as commerce and for commodity trading; and as industry and geological mapping. They were used as a secret language within portrait paintings to convey a story of merit, status and ambition. Quartz, diamond, sapphire, ruby and garnet are used in clocks, watches, radios, lasers, drills, cellphone technology, water purification, surveying and microsurgery. Some people feel an energy or a subtle vibration just by holding a stone in their hand. It has been proven scientifically that clear quartz and tourmaline have a piezoelectric generation when rubbed. Try each stone. The results may surprise you.
Whether you are looking for a specific "fix" or have a curiosity, there are general directions to head: pale colored stones tend to attract energy and dark colored stones tend to help you to release energy. Whether rough, tumbled or faceted, each stone maintains the attributes of its chemical structure after it is cut and polished. Every crystal collection should have clear quartz. Clear quartz is said to be a powerful, all-purpose stone. A quartz crystal with one or two points is especially powerful. Color can add additional properties to a stone.
