The Greeks thought that crystals were actually ice turned to stone, hence "crystal" comes from the Greek "crystallos" ("clear ice.") Crystals are in fact formed deep within the Earth's core, taking thousands of years to become the beautiful stones that we know.
Crystals represent the unity of the four elements. They are formed in the Earth and contain earthly minerals. They are related to water in their molecular structure. They transmit a piezo-electric charge, relating them to fire. They are similar to air in that they allow light to pass through. Crystals embody the elements of the Earth, as well as the elements within us. When you possess a crystal, you possess all elements of creation, hence a crystal can be used to strengthen spiritual abilities, psychic abilities, help us to contact the spirit realm, become in tune with nature and the elements- their powers are virtually endless.
Gems and stones can also be used to open and close the Chakras, and to utilise their energies as well as for healing purposes.
