Crystals of Transformation: 12 Healing Stones and Their Magical Purposes

Healing crystals have been used for thousands of years by different cultures around the world for their perceived healing properties. The ancient Greeks, Chinese, and Egyptians all had their own beliefs about the power of crystals. In fact, the word crystal comes from the Greek word “krystallos,” which means ice, because the ancient Greeks believed that clear quartz was ice that had been frozen so solidly that it would never thaw. Crystals are believed to work by interacting with the body’s energy field, or aura, which is thought to be made up of different frequencies of energy. Each crystal is thought to have its own unique frequency, which can help to balance and align the body’s energy, bringing about physical and emotional healing.
