Quartz Crystals and Colored Gems

Practitioners of crystal healing and energy medicine believe that placing different colors of crystals on certain areas of the body will create an energy grid that surround the ill person with healing energy. The energy is supposed to affect the body chakras to promote healing. While this cannot be conclusively proven effective there is anecdotal evidence that some relief can be gained by use of healing gems and crystals.

Mystics and shamans believe that crystals and gemstones have the power to focus positive energies and absorb and drain off negative or hurtful energies. Some gemstone crystals are helpful to focus the mind for meditation.
