Various healing stones and crystals are used in gem therapy. Some are used in pendulums while others are passed over the body for healing in the form of wands. Using the vibrations of stones is related to the seven chakras or energy points of the body. These energy points can become sluggish as the result of trauma of negative thoughts. Therefore, healing stones and crystals are used to open up chakras and re-energize and balance the system.
Healing stones and crystals are used over such chakra body areas as the belly, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye (related to psychic abilities) and crown. While the use of healing stones and crystals are not directed specifically, say, to the belly, they are used to relieve and cure conditions originating or related to the area.
Libyan Desert Glass
One of the top three healing stones used for this purpose is an ancient rock known as Libyan Desert glass. Also referred to as golden cosmic glass, this stone is a fusion of Quartz grains – formed when a large asteroid hit the eastern part of Egypt around 30 million years ago.
The pieces of resulting natural glass contain various inclusions in the vesicles as well as high-pressure crystals made of quartz. These quartz crystals are known as Cristobalite and Tridymite. Because they are both ancient and cosmic, the healing stones and crystals of Libyan glass are said to offer one of the highest vibrations of light that the body can receive.
Libyan Desert glass is therefore said to enhance a person’s mental acuity and self-confidence while aligning the energy points of the body. The nervous system is also balanced out when Libyan glass is used for gem therapy.
Fluorite
Another one of the top healing crystals is fluorite. This stone, which is associated with both healing and enlightenment, heals a person spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Fluorite is one of the healing stones that diminishes anxiety and assists in spiritual awakening.
The stone cleanses and balances the system as well as opens up the energy flow in all areas of the body. You might say that the stone prevents any escape of energy. Physically, the stone is used to treat ailments associated with the bones and is especially helpful in alleviating arthritis and strengthening the bones. The ancients used fluorite to cure cancer and crystal healers use the healing gem to quicken the healing of patients who are suffering from inflammation or pneumonia.
Garnet
Garnet is another one of the healing stones of repute. Associated with self-confidence, love, courage and vitality, the gem is said to cure the wearer of disorders of the lungs, spine, bones, and blood. Anemia is said to be cured when garnet is worn.
