Stones and crystals, also known as gemstones, have been used for healing purposes for thousands of years. Their vibrational properties vary widely, and each plays a unique role in helping to clear and balance the human energy field. 

 

Some crystals have minerals embedded within them that are well known for their healing properties. For example, copper reduces inflammation and swelling. Wearing or carrying a gemstone that has a high concentration of copper, such as malachite, can support aching joints and sore muscles. Some crystals heal quickly, while others require more time to work.

 

The energy of a specific crystal and your energetic needs, be they physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, are important aspects  to consider when choosing gemstones for healing.
