Answer 2

Stones and crystals have been used for centuries as a way to focus ones positive energy to help heal a problematic area. Before you try this as a healing technique you should first try to use another object such as an old bottle cap or an art eraser. It may sound funny. But, the object is not important whether you use a crystal or an eraser. The idea is to focus. The object only allows you to focus on a physical inanimate object. Something you can feel. Truthfully, the power to heal is within you. The object mearly helps you to focus. Give it a shot

Think of crystals like this: people used to think they were just pretty trinkets, then someone invented the radio - using crystals. They vibrate at different levels due to the 'type' of crystal you have. Whether they are helpful or not depends on the person you ask, but they've been used for healing purposes for centuries. Use any search engine and enter 'properties of crystals' or go the the 'new age' section of your book store or library and start reading.

Answer 5

The best resource IMO is Scott Cunningham's "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic." It's the foundation for all my crystal work.

Answer 6

All gemstones and rocks and minerals, have different physical properties, and each type, can give off its own helpful elements. For instance, ruby and rose quartz are for love, and tiger eye, is for good luck, and labradorite, has protection of your aura. There are many books out there, and websites, which tell you what each and every gemstone means, and what it can be used for.
