get more beautiful with age. There is abundant information on the history, properties and types of crystals
that for the sake of this article, I will be hitting the highlights and referring to some excellent sites found
listed below.
The formation of crystals is a very complicated chemical process but the end result is magic. There are so
many types of beautiful crystals that come in all different shapes and colors, which exhibit well-defined and
pleasing geometric shapes. The shape of the crystal is dependent on the types of molecular bonds between
the atoms to determine the structures and is also influenced by the conditions under which they were formed
such as weather. A crystal is a solid that contain atoms, molecules and ions that are packed in a regularly
ordered repeating pattern. How the crystal will form depends on the chemistry of the fluid found within.
The process of forming a crystalline structure is called crystallizations.
Many civilizations have cultivated the mystique and energy properties of crystals. The Mayans and ancient
civilization in Central America used crystals in their statues and temples. The Incas also used crystals as a
source of spirituality as both civilizations were located on earth energy lines that used crystals along these
lines to emit images; crystal screens transposing images into pictures. Other cultural use included the
Tibetans who used crystals to produce light. There is intriguing information on how the famous lost
civilization of Atlantis used the properties of crystals for healing, communication and as a way to predict
weather.
Today, crystals are collected and admired by people compared to civilizations thousands of years ago.
There are many metaphysicians who use natural crystals as an instrument to heal the mind, body and spirit.
Some theorists assert that crystal stones contain a vibration of energy that can be used for different
healing purposes, Examples would include amber, which is traditionally used to sooth and calm the nerves
and that can help negate negative thoughts. Amethyst can be used to purify, protect and balance during a

large stone contain massive amount of energy and can transfer the energy compared to crystals being used
for huge power generators.
Many other uses of crystals include: healing after childbirth, increasing mental clarity, telekinesis, weather
control, properties used to develop technology in science such as botany and agriculture.
In 1995 amazingly Scientist discovered a giant iron crystal buried deep within the earth at the core more
than 3.000 miles down. This finding explained answers to many bewildering geophysical questions.
