Gem and Crystal Jewelry – The Power to Heal?
By Sam Serio
References to the power of crystals and gems and their use in spiritual
and healing rituals can be found in the ancient Mayan and Hebrew civilizations. Today the
practice of using stones and crystals continues with ordinary people across the world who
claim extraordinary results.
By stimulating a person's thought, it is believed that crystals
stimulate healing – both physical and non-physical. Stones in the red family –
red, yellow and orange – are prized for their ability to produce energy. On the other
end of the spectrum, blue, violet, and lavender stones have a calming effect. In between
are the clear and aquamarine stones that having healing properties.
Many people use and combine crystals to improve a variety of physical,
mental, and spiritual conditions based on the healing properties attributed to each stone:

reduce anger, and impatience.

immune system and aids communications on all levels…especially on the physical and
spiritual planes.
