Healing Crystals A - Z Guide

Healing Crystals and their Effects

Thousands of years ago one already knew about the power of minerals and gemstones. 850 years ago Hildegard von Bingen wrote her "Lapis Lapidarum", a book about the healing properties of gemstones. Nowadays that knowledge is scientifically documented. Since 1988 gemstones were tested for their effects in more than 70 research groups according to the model of the homoeopathic drug proving. More and more people could convince themselves of the positive effects of crystal oscillations and colours.

The Healing Crystals A - Z Guide is alphabetically ordered according to the most usual names of gemstones. With each gemstone comes imformation about mineralogy (M) and indications (I).

Attention! Any information concerning healing effects of gemstones is for general information purposes only. It isn't a substitute for professional medical advice. Rather it is designed to support, not replace, the relationship between you and your healthcare providers. If you have, or suspect you may have, a health problem you should consult your doctor.

If you don't find a gemstone in the alphabetical list use "search" by pressing Ctrl+f simultaneously at your keyboard. Maybe you are searching for a synonym. With Ctrl+f you can also look for symptoms or required effects. The statements originate from books about healing crystals by Michael Gienger.

If you are also interested in hand-crafted unique pieces of gemstone jewellery, I would like to invite you to visit my virtual jewellery gallery or contact me in Luxor.
