Healing crystals and gemstones

A Cross-Cultural Practice

Sumerians included crystal formulas in magic practices. Egyptians buried their dead with lapis lazuli and carnelian. Chinese medicine uses jade. Ayurvedic practitioners prescribe gemstones by planetary alignment. The common thread: specific stones correspond to specific states, energies, and needs.
