Throughout the ages, the healing properties of gemstones and crystals — their beauty, and magic — have been recognised and harnessed. As far back as the Stone Age, men and women wore
crystal jewellery. They had both a protective and a decorative function, guarding their wearer against harm. The ancients employed gemstones for protection, adornment, healing, and divination.
Gemstones were frequently worn and carried by ancient Egyptians as amulets and charms. Greek mythology frequently refers to gemstones, and many have been discovered in the tombs of Chinese rulers. Gemstones were used extensively in ceremonies and initiations by the Native Americans, Mayans and Aztecs. The breastplate of the Jewish High Priest was set with precious stones, conveying power to the wearer.
Gemstones and Crystals Today
Gemstones and crystals today carry the same power and energy as in the past.
Healing jewellery is now worn not only for its beauty but also for the healing properties of the crystals and gemstones it contains.
Here, you will discover that wearing gemstones and carrying crystals is a highly effective way to promote health and healing. They can:
- Boost your energy
- Clean your space
- Attract wealth
- Enhance your intuition
- Increase mental abilities
- Boost confidence
- Bring abundance
- Attract love
Metals also carry properties that can be helpful to us. I have also listed those that I include in my healing jewellery.
Multiple Names for Crystals
You will find more than one listing for some stones, as many are known by more than one name. For example, Anyolite is also known as “Ruby Zoisite”, Bloodstone is also known as “Heliotrope” and Almandine is also known as “Eudialite”.
Varieties of Gemstones
There can also be many varieties of gemstones and crystals found under a particular generic name. For example:
- The Agate family includes Blue Lace Agate, and Moss Agate.
- The Quartz family includes Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, and Smokey Quartz.

Choosing the Right Crystal
When selecting a crystal, trust your intuition. The stones you feel drawn to often indicate the energy you need most. Consider your intentions, whether for healing, protection, abundance, or personal growth. Crystals are particularly helpful on a holistic level and are best used to treat the underlying cause rather than just the symptom. If you need additional assistance, please contact me.
Conclusion
Crystals can be a powerful tool to enhance well-being, balance, and spiritual growth. Whether you are exploring them for the first time or deepening your practice, the right crystal can support you on your journey toward harmony and positive energy.

It is important to remember that healing is not the same as curing. Healing is helping the body, or mind, to become stronger and consequently better. Always see your doctor if you have nagging health problems or serious injuries — healing with gemstones, complements, but is not meant as a substitute for medical, or psychological, diagnosis and treatment when needed.
