Introduction to Crystals by Mark Oakwood

Crystals have been used over the centuries for a multitude of purposes - from healing to protection to decoration to technology. Quartz crystals are commonly used in watches, communication systems, medical electronics as well as computers and many other applications.

Crystal healing is a New Age belief that crystals have energies and properties that are able to heal physical and emotional problems by placing semi-precious stones on specific points of the body, being swept over the body or placing them near the patient to bring relief of the condition

Available in many shapes, the more common forms of crystals include:

Single Terminated

Six natural facets join sharply together to form a single point at one end and a rough or rounded edge at the other.

Chunks

Chunks are crystals without any prominent facets and points

Clusters

Clusters consist of a small of crystals joined in a rock matrix and sharing a common base. Clusters

Cut crystals

Cut crystals are crystals that have been cut and polished into shapes such as wands, eggs, skulls or crystal balls.

Tumble stones

Tumble stones are natural small semi stones, rocks or crystals that placed in a drum and have been tumbled over each other many times with increasingly finer abrasive until the sides become smooth and shiny, much like a pebble washed for many years by the sea and sand.

Each type of crystal has according to its colour, shape and mineral content specific energies and properties that are able to aid a specific condition or part of the body. One of these properties is the unique vibration that each individual crystal has. Popular crystals and metaphysical properties include:
