Crystals and Gemstones
Crystals and Gemstones
Crystals -- In science, a
crystal
is a solid substance in which the atoms, molecules, or ions are
arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial
dimensions. The word crystal is a loan from the ancient Greek word
(krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient
understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by
freezing, such as ice. The word once referred particularly to quartz, or
"rock crystal". Most metals encountered in everyday life are
polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically intergrown to form
crystal twins. ...
Gemstones -- A
gemstone
or gem, also called a precious or semi-precious stone, is a piece of
attractive mineral, which - when cut and polished - is used to make
jewelry or other adornments. However certain rocks, (such as
lapis-lazuli) and organic materials (such as amber or jet) are not
minerals, but are still used for jewelry, and are therefore often
considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some
soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their lustre or other
physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another
characteristic that lends value to a gemstone .....

Crystals and Metaphysics
Crystals are used for healing, meditation, energy work, storing
information, protection, grounding, and channeling. Many have specific
shapes such as
crystal skulls and
singing crystal bowls, used for healing, balancing, awakening, and scrying. Crystal
scrying
deals with the images one sees within a crystal (holograms) and how
that helps them shape their destiny at a given time. These images may
appear to change in time. Your mind can also project images into a
quartz crystal.
They vibrate to different frequencies depending
on the crystal, its size and use. People are guided to a specific
crystal, determined by the matrix of the person at a given time, and
that of the crystal chosen. You touch it, and know it is yours - you are
attuned to that crystal at that point in time. Crystals can be placed
anywhere, held, or worn as jewelry. They know what they have to do.
Everybody
has their own method for clearing and clearing crystals. My method is
easy. I rinse my crystals -> apply a bit of soft soap -> rinse
again -> place them on a soft cloth to dry -> place in the
sunlight for a few hours -> set them in place in my home, the
location sometimes changing as guided by my soul or the crystals.
Crystals are often used by healers to activate, clear, and balance the seven basic chakras.

Crystals & Gemstones - Healing Properties - Chakras 
Crystals
vibrate to at different frequencies to enhance healing. Quartz crystals
have excellent healing properties. Quartz also has the ability to
transform an imbalanced energy field. When you feel stressed the crystal
can balance your energies and revitalize you. Small quartz crystals
left in water will ionize the water and is a good drink for healing.
You
can use crystals yourself to heal or find a qualified healer. Most
crystal healing is guided to the healer by Spirit who will tell the
healer which crystals will be most effective and the patterns the
crystals should be placed on or around the person's body. The length of
time used with the crystals will vary with each patient and healer. The
healer must determine the person's frequency and attune it to the
crystals that will create healing and balance. All healing is about
placing the body in balance. Treatments will vary in length and number
of times required. They may not always work.
Owning a crystal
that you carry with you or keep in the area you spend most of your time,
can enhance the healing after you work with the healer. It's always
good to have a few quartz crystals around your home to balance the
energies, even if you do not need healing.
Note: Some of the
crystals discussed below come in different colors. Crystals can be found
raw in nature or cut and polished. They affect each person based on
their grids, at any specific time. Crystals and gemstones can be used,
or worn, alone, or in combination with other crystals.

Vogel placed the power of crystals firmly in the scientific domain. He
suggested that the key to understanding this ancient knowledge lay in
the connection between the vibrations sent out by the human mind and the
perfect inner structure of crystals. Vogel was prompted to develop his
investigations into crystal healing by working with liquid crystals in
the laboratory. After leaving IBM, Vogel continued his research on the
use of quartz crystals and their ability to heal people. He was
dedicated to intensive research into healing energies, especially those
of various shapes of quartz crystals." Vogal Cut Crystals are specially
tuned quantum converters, designed to assist in accessing and utilizing
particular energies. The differing angles of the terminators create a

reconnect with the inner levels of the self.
