What are Crystals?

AN INTRODUCTION TO CRYSTALS - when, what, how

There are natural or man-made/synthetic crystals. Most Crystals are created in natural environments, which is what I will be referring to. 

Crystals are essentially made up of atoms and stable patterns that form over many years of growth. The crystals formation starts deep below the Earth's surface when specific conditions such as temperature, environment, time, space, elements and pressure allow the minerals to form and grow into the magnificent & beautiful crystals that we love.

A crystal differs in shape, growth, geometry, color, hardness and size which all depends on the exact conditions that they were formed in. This is why we have so many different physical and energetic forms of crystals to choose from.

Crystals have been around since the Earth was created, and have continued to metamorphose as the planet changes. Think of a crystal as a history book which holds memories about the Earth’s energetic evolution over millions of years. Many different cultures in ancient history have been using crystals since the beginning of time ~ for health, protection, jewelry, crowns etc. 

Crystals have properties and energy used for healing, manifestation and for bringing that specific crystal's energy into one's life. The geometric pattern of molecules in a crystal formation releases stable vibrational frequencies. Because they are known to be the most stable & organized form of matter, a crystal’s powerful energy then influences other energies around it ~ just remember that everything is energy, including us! The size, formation, composition and color helps us to identify each crystal's exact properties and level at which they are vibrating.

Each crystal is vibrating at their own frequency, just like the cells and energy centers (chakras) in our body. This means that certain crystals align and work best with certain energy centers/chakras in us. The energy of the crystals works with the energy of us and everything around us. Able to diffuse, store, emit, transform, shift, absorb and cleanse energy on an electromagnetic wavelength. This is how crystals can work to restore, balance and heal on an emotional, spiritual and physical level.
