If you’re drawn to translucency- glass, crystals, and things that reflect and refract light in a hypnotizing dance against the surfaces of all things mundane- or all of the above plus a dash of magic, then you’re one of mine. There’s something magical and nostalgic in the colorful play of light – a reminder that natural beauty still exists in this synthetic world.

Aside from being a gorgeous addition to your aesthetic, crystals also lend a multitude of healing properties to the wearer. The most common of which is to balance, open, unblock, and align the chakras as well as the emotional, mental and physical states. I understand, it begs the question “How does it work, though? They’re just rocks.” Being the spiritually inquisitive person I am, I’d asked myself the same thing – and scientifically, it would be right; they’re rocks formed from minerals, but to think that’s all they are would be doing a major disservice to yourself considering the many benefits they offer.

Earth-found crystals (or semi-precious stones) have had a variety of uses and purposes throughout history. Dating back thousands of years, they have been treasured by many ancient civilizations from the ancient Sumerians, the ancient Greek, Persians, and Romans to the Mayans, Aztecs, and the ancient Egyptians. Interestingly enough, each civilization without any known possibility of interaction or communication with each other, recorded very similar uses for particular stones such as healing, protection, and spiritual guidance. Certain stones were even crushed up for their powder to use as paint as well as to be smeared on the bodies of warriors for protection in battle. As medical science advanced and with the advent of christianity, for many centuries these ancient practices became hidden from sight in most parts of the Western World. In present times, however, many spiritualists and healers have once again implemented the use of crystals in healing rituals.

So what makes a crystal a healing stone? A healing crystal is essentially any crystal that is borrowed as a conduit for its own healing properties which are then amplified by one’s intentions such as cleansing, purification, protection, relieving anxiety, promoting love, etc.

The Basics: Manipulating and channeling energy using crystals, their corresponding planets, and the phases of the moon.

For active practitioners in the manipulation of energy (or magic), some more common types of crystals like amethyst and clear quartz are a couple examples of stones that are often attached to wands or athames; this is believed to draw energy from within and direct it outwards from the tip of the stone and vice versa. In this respect, crystals are often used in anointing oils as well as spell jars so as to channel the stone’s energy into them. Other modern types of spiritual therapy implement the concept of energy healing through crystals, such as Reiki (a Japanese healing practice by which the flow of energy is manipulated through the body so as to release emotional blockages caused by stagnant energy) and Crystal Healing, in which a series of healing stones are used to lend energy to and amplify the energy of an unbalanced or blocked chakra. Together, Reiki and Crystal Healing make for the perfect equilibrium of energy and emotion. But aside from their many practical uses, one could also benefit from healing crystals by simply wearing them on gorgeous pieces of jewelry. For example, a green aventurine or jade stone could be worn on a necklace hanging against the chest to aid in opening and unblocking the heart chakra, for which another corresponding stone would be rose quartz. Or for clearing the throat chakra and improving self-expression, wear Lapiz Lazuli around the neck.

To better understand how such stones are used in modern-day therapeutic practices, here are several healing stones and their relationships with the zodiac, the planets, the elements, and the chakras.

Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony and as its reddish-orange color suggests, matches the Root and Sacral chakra. It encourages vitality and a deep connection to our core as well as the strength and courage to pursue our passions, bringing success in our endeavors.
