The Power of Crystals

The wondrous lore that I prepare to show. For all the pests that out of the earth arise, the earth’s own self the antidote supplies. She breeds the viper, but she to the sage the means presents to quell the viper’s rage. All kinds of gems spring from her bosom wide. And hapless mortals with sure help provide. For all what virtues potent herbs possession, gems in their kind have, nor in measure less. Great is the force . . . that in stones inherent are. For in the stone implanted mother earth external force, unfading, at its birth. —The Lithica

Crystals have always been regarded as a source of power—and as a gift from the gods. Impressive no matter what their size, gems hold an aura of mystery and authority. From prehistory to the present, gemstones have symbolized wealth and been accorded wondrous properties. The ancient texts that tell us so much about the power of stones had their origins in the Stone Age, a time when technology quite literally came from stones. Since that time, we have continued to harness their magical power. In 1714, M. B. Valentini’s Museum Museorum pictured an airship designed five years earlier by a Brazilian priest; the craft was to be powered by Agate and iron that, when heated in the sun, would become magnetic. Strange as this may seem, our present-day technology could not exist without crystals; they power computers and surgical tools, coat automobile engines and spaceships. Crystals provide the basic building blocks of science and art. The ancients credited crystals with healing power. The Greek philosopher Theophrastus and Roman geographer Pliny passed these remedies on (even though Pliny denounced some as false claims). The Babylonians attributed humankind’s destiny to the influence of precious stones. Our ancestors believed the Earth was surrounded by crystal spheres where gods, stars, and planets dwelt. Originally a crystal’s color or constitution or its planetary affiliation indicated its efficacy for specific conditions. Unfortunately, translation difficulties often make it impossible to ascertain exactly which stone early texts referred to, but some references are crystal clear.

THE POWER OF GEMS

Not only flashy gemstones hold power. Since antiquity, crystals of all sorts have served as protective amulets. Humble stones such as Flint were magical carriers for the soul, for metaphysical workings, or for shamans to use on their otherworldly journeys. Many stones produced incandescent sparks or could be super-heated into streams of gold, silver, copper, and other precious metals. Just as magical were the sky rocks that fell to Earth, bringing with them iron to forge tools and create weapons. Egyptologist Wallis Budge explained, “each stone possessed a sort of living personality, which could experience sickness and disease, and could become old and powerless and even die.” However, in Egyptian medicine, stones could also heal. The Greek philosopher Plato believed stones were living beings, produced by a fermentation process induced by “a life-giving intelligence descending from the stars.” According to many myths, crystals solidified from ice, a view reinforced by the bubbles of water sometimes found within a crystal. The fifth-century Roman poet Claudian tells us that: When the Alpine ice, frost-harden’d into stone First braved the sun, and as a jewel shone, Not all its substance could the gem assume— Some tell-tale drops still linger’d in its womb. HOW CRYSTALS FORM Crystals are, for the most part, created by the Earth’s awesome power. Boiled, compressed, and excoriated, some were born of volcanoes, glaciers, earthquakes, and immense pressure; others dripped into being through osmosis, gas bubbles, and nature’s gentler forces. Some so-called crystals don’t actually have a crystalline structure. Amber, for instance, is fossilized tree resin, and volcanic Obsidian formed so fast it didn’t have time to crystallize. How a crystal forms affects how its power works. Those that grew slowly tend to emit their power gently; those that were on an accelerated path of growth blast their power out to the world. Paradoxically, some of the youngest geological stones have the highest vibrations and the greatest power to transform our world. The Power of Color The power of color was first noted by the ancients and became an integral part of the magical healing processes by which imbalances were rectified and harmony restored. In 1878, Edwin D. Babbitt suggested color had therapeutic properties that could be applied in healing. His rationale may help to explain the power behind sympathetic magic and why particular colors traditionally were used to treat specific dis-eases. In Babbitt’s “ray” system, red attracts iron, zinc, and Strontium; yellow sodium, phosphorous, and carbon; and so on. These minerals are required for correct functioning of the body. His chromatherapy was complex, and exposure to the colored rays needed to be carefully calibrated. Crystal workers, though, simply utilize crystals of the appropriate color based on the ancient correspondences. • Pink and peach stones heal emotional imbalances and gently energize your system. • Red gems energize more forcefully and resonate with the reproductive system. Red also aids blood-related and inflammatory conditions. • Orange is a mental and creative energizer, stimulating personal power and resonating with the Leydig gland above the testes, a seat of kundalini power. • Yellow and gold stones are mental and nervous system stimulators; they resonate with neurotransmitters, the adrenal glands, and intestines, and balance your mind and emotions. • Green is calming and associated with the heart, eyes, and thymus gland. • Blue-green resonates with the subtle levels of being and opens metaphysical abilities. • Blue resonates with the throat and thyroid gland, and has a tonic effect. • Indigo has mystical qualities; it resonates with the pineal gland, but also effects mental healing. • Violet and purple stones resonate with the pituitary, regulating metabolism and regenerating the body. They also open you to higher awareness. • Black and brown stones detoxify and ground energy, protecting the body from harm. • Combination stones synergize the effects of the colors and constituents.
