Many of todays clergy wear a sapphire ring as a symbol of purity. All throughout history crystals have been regarded as mystical talismans. Science has proven what our ancestors knew instinctively, crystals posses a natural power called the piezoelectric effect, meaning that they have the ability to amplify, channel or alter the flow of electricity. Crystals are used for this purpose in radios and television, computers, microphones and watches. People, animals and plants all carry an electrical charge, sometimes also called an aura, so it is logical that crystals have an effect on us as well.
Crystals can clarify thoughts, channel energy, increase creativity and create emotional balance.
Many people like to carry a small tumbled stone in their pocket or bag, by having it close by they are able to reach out and touch or hold it in moments of stress or when they need to bring a bit of balance and reassurance into their aura. Rather like worry beads. Crystal wands are used to massage a particular area that needs healing, with a smooth rounded end for massage and a natural point to focus energy. Wearing crystal jewellery keeps the energy close to your body, the energy merging with your aura, balancing and energising you all day. Clustered groups of crystals are especially good for energising a room or group meetings, they are also good for recharging other crystals and jewellery.
