What Are Healing Stones?
Used by the ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures to cleanse and release negative energy, the use of gemstones and crystals as healing stones dates back at least 5,000 years, according to many historians. Many people who practice alternative medicine believe that natural semiprecious gemstones such as jade, turquoise, quartz, amber and tiger’s eye have specific healing properties and vibrations that coordinate with the different chakras, or energy centers, in a person’s aura, the invisible energy field that surrounds the body. When the healing stone is placed in the vicinity of the affected part of the body, it can assist and change the body’s vibration.
