The Enduring Legacy of Gemstone Lore
For centuries, across countless cultures, gemstones and crystals have been attributed with mystical powers and healing energy. This enduring belief, often rooted in historical traditions similar to that of charm-stones, has seen a resurgence in the modern New-Age wave.
From ancient Egypt and Greece to the medical scripts of the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BCE), the possible effect of "healing stones" has been a topic of fascination. Even the German abbess Hildegard von Bingen (1098–1179) used gemstones and crystals for curing and caring. These beliefs are not based on modern scientific practices, but rather on a rich, historical legacy.
Understanding the Crystals You Cherish
Almost all "healing stones" are, in fact, crystals. A crystal is a solid with a regularly repeating internal arrangement of atoms and molecules. Their colours are natural, originating from the integration and inclusion of trace elements such as iron, copper, cobalt, or manganese.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal for jewelry, crystals possess properties that are vital to modern technology, including the electronics and optical industries.
The Power of Intention and Experience
The appeal of crystal healing and gemstone therapy (known as litho- or gemmotherapy) is extensively promoted today across media platforms. Practitioners often use methods based on historical, non-scientific beliefs:
- Chakra Alignment: Crystals are placed on different parts of the body, often corresponding to the chakras, with the stone's colour matching the chakra's associated colour (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
- Energy Grids and Wands: Crystals may be placed around the body to construct an "energy grid" or used as wands to perform "psychic surgery".
- Gemstone Elixirs: Some practices, adopted from "Hildegard Medicine," involve placing the healing stone in water or cooking it to create an "essence" added to drinking water.
While scientific proof of a positive effect beyond a placebo effect does not exist, the pleasant feelings and perceived successes can be attributed to the strong psychological and cognitive benefits of belief and expectation. The power of a stunning, rare gemstone to evoke feelings of tranquility, focus, or even excitement (like the "magical attraction" of a diamond) is a value in itself.
