The metaphysical lore or magical uses of crystals and stones is as old as time. By magic, I am referring to the metaphysical energies associated with the stones or crystals. Crystals and stones contain the earth’s metaphysical energies. The first shamans knew the hidden power or energy found in these even when they were separated by continents. Many Native American cultures share in the same belief as well. As time went on, amulets and talismans were made to provide the holder with the magical properties of the stones or crystals being used. There is a vast majority of uses for stones and crystals that has been studied and used over the ages of time.
Stones and crystals have projective and receptive properties or energies that are associated with them. These metaphysical properties are everywhere within the universe. Too much of one causes problems, thus warranting the need for balance. A person feeling out of balance or lacking within a certain aspect of them-self could use a certain stone or crystal that had a desired metaphysical energy to bring balance back into them-self. One must also understand that the color of stones contributes to the metaphysical energies and properties they contain.
