Crystals

Crystals are sometimes clear and sometimes different colored gemstones that were formed in the earth sometimes millions of years ago. Crystals can be purchased in their raw form as they come from the earth, or they can be cut and formed and polished.

Crystals have energy within them. Crystals are used in watches and radios because they both receive, transmit, and store energy in its most perfect form. The energy within Quartz crystals is pure perfect energy that is in vibration with the energy of the earth. Crystals contain varying amounts of lead, and they are classified by their lead content.

There are those who believe that crystals hold healing power and they use them to enhance a person's physical, emotional, and spiritual state of health and well-being. Crystals are often worn on the body so that the individual can absorb the stone's powers, or they can be placed around their home of office so that they can enjoy the vibrations that these crystals emit.
