In the beginning every element in the universe that makes up physical matter was formed within the stars. Throughout universal space the same raw materials come together to form crystals. The apparent stability and continuity of the planet is in reality a constant cycle of erosion deposition and metamorphosis. Without the constant movement of the earths crust many crystals would not have been formed out of the sedimentary rock that lies beneath the sea.

The nature of crystals: Always valued as things of beauty, mystery, and magic, every crystal is unique in size and shape, yet all crystals of the same mineral share an identical autonomic lattice structure. The presence of a minute amount of another substance and how light rays refract, reflect and move through crystals structures largely determines what colours a crystal will exhibit.

The power of crystals: Crystals are objects of beauty, fascination, and mystery. They never lose their beauty so they can be treasured and can become an expression of wealth. Fine examples of crystals are rare and difficult to find, which is why they have become symbols of high rank, royalty and desire. Many people simply collect crystals and gemstones for their visual appeal but in all periods of history, crystals have been regarded as magical and otherworldly.

Crystals and chakras: Whether a crystal is geometrically perfect, tumbled, or fragmented from a large block, it will have the same characteristic energy signature as all other examples of that material. Gemstones were traditionally used to alleviate the physical symptoms of illness. Today, crystal healing focuses on removing the underlying energy imbalances that may eventually lead to physical problems.

Chakras and colours: Crystals that are the same colour as a chakra will enhance its natural qualities, whatever the situation.
