Beautiful and vibrantly colored, crystal stones are really wonderful to look at. These beautiful stones can be used to adorn artistic jewelry pieces that can make women who are willing to shell out quite a hefty amount wear them. Some examples are red rubies, blue sapphires, green emeralds, purplish garnets, yellow topazes, rose quartz and many other naturally occurring crystal stones. The beauty of crystals shines through and goes beyond the physical appeal because they are also crystal healing stones.
A crystal, in technical sense, is a natural solid with its atoms, molecules or ions arranged in an orderly, repeated pattern called crystalline structure. Crystallography is the special field of Geology that deals with the study of crystals. Their use as adornments has practically been there since the early days. Their healing potentials have amazed many though they were already used even in man’s easly history. In fact, early Egyptians, Chinese, Native Americans, Celts and Aztecs have used quartz even in rituals; perhaps to recognize their healing powers and uses. It is even mentioned in the Sanskrit as a gem that removes fear.
Pseudoscientific is the term used to refer to the alternative medicine that makes use of a technique that is based on crystal healing stones these days. It is considered pseudoscientific because despite its scientific application, it does not meet the requirements of scientific norms. The foundations of its claims are beliefs and practices that are beyond the relams of science because they can’t be tested nor proven using scientific methods. To elucidate the seeming good health and feeling of wellbeing, the scientific community came up with the explanation called “placebo effect” where people really feel because of their faith. There are still ongoing studies about these crystals because there are really many things at stake here. Radio waves and frequencies are invisible and maybe likened to the invisible energies emitted by the crystals that serves as the basis for its healing potential. Quartz for instance, was seen to vibrate periodically and that is the basis for its use in quartz watches.
Despite all these controversies, the fact remains that many therapists still use crystal healing stones energy points called chakras because there are many who still believe.
