The powers of these precious stones have been demonstrated since ancient times, and they have acted on both the mind and the physical.
Brilliant crystals have been shown to conceal unpredictable powers that people can benefit from if they know how and when to use them.

Just like any healing therapy, and this is governed by rules to be followed.
Therefore, when you are determined, it is advisable to turn to a specialist’s advice, or, why not, to attend several courses of initiation.
Obelisk for the 7 chakras
The use of crystals in a particular healing process should be done with caution.
Some crystals are extremely energizing, while others offer feelings of tranquility.
Used mistakenly, stones can amplify certain aspects that are in fact desired to be removed or can diminish elements that are desired to develop.
The power of healing crystals actually comes from their vibration that produces the balance of the human biomagnetic field, improving many states of physical and psychological harm.
In Romania, crystals are found mainly in the metallic mountains.
Crystals love to stay in the sun, to reflect the light.
Therefore, it is advisable not to keep them in the dark places.
Healing Crystal therapy specialists say crystals need to be treated with love and attention.
Healing With Crystals
During the trips, the crystals are transported wrapped in a clean cloth.
Any crystal must be purified before it is used to remove the vibrations and negative energies that exist in it
Depending on your needs, the conditions you suffer from, there are also some crystals that can improve or even heal.
It is good to know that neither the size nor the brightness of the crystal matters, the strength of which is important.
Over time, the healing power of crystals has managed to convince even the most skeptical and disbelieving, turning this therapy into a highly sought after and used one.
We also need to know that not all crystals are suitable for healing.
Cleaning the Healing Crystals Before Use
Cleaning the Healing Crystals
Although most of the crystals with curative effects are known and fairly accessible, to give them these powers, you need to know how to wear them, when to wear them most importantly, how to give them the necessary purity.
Before using any crystal for therapeutic purposes, it needs to be cleaned energetically.
The most famous crystal clearing agent is sea salt. The salt may be mixed with water or used as such.
Mix a spoonful of sea salt with cold water in a glass or ceramic cup.
Never use a plastic or metal container. Put the stones in the solution and leave to soak overnight.
If you use pure salt in a pure state, you need to “bury” the crystals with the tip down into it, leaving them overnight.
If a stone requires more time to purify it, it can be left two to three days in the sea salt.
Another cleaning agent is the moonlight.
Put the crystals out in the moonlight, preferably hanging somewhere above, so the light can penetrate them.
The earth is also an excellent purifier, especially when you feel that deep cleansing is needed.
Outside, dig a hole of crystal size, and put the crystal upside down and cover it with earth.
A quick way to clean stones is to smoke them with sage or burned cedar.
Smoking is an excellent way to make sure the stones are purified.
Crystal Care and Cleansing Mode
- The crystal is held for 6 days in sea salt.
- The amount of salt must be sufficient to completely cover the crystal.
- A marine salt solution of approx. 25% concentration.
- The crystal is kept in this solution for 3 days.
- The temperature of this solution (based on sea salt and water) should be close to that of the crystal.
- Finally, the crystal is washed with spring water, water from a river or cascade, and then allowed to stand in the sun.
- This washing and drying process should take at least half an hour.
- Thus the quartz will be charged with beneficial energies from water and the sun.
- Sea salt has the ability to erase negative programs from the crystal, so it remains clean, pure.
What Not to Do: Do not place crystals in chemical detergents or ultrasonic cleaners, will damage the stones. Also, commercial salt is not recommended with different chemical compounds (anti-agglomeration, etc.). If the crystals also contain silver accessories, use a special cloth to clean the silver that does not destroy the crystal.
Moon’s light:
All the crystals adore the moonlight, especially during the full moon period.
The powerful energy of the full moon actually lasts for 3 days, thus giving enough time to clean all the desired crystals, the day before the full moon, during the full moon and the day after the full moon.
Crystals will capture the energy they need even if it’s raining outside or cloudy. If it still rains, be careful not to be touched by water. (Crystals that need to avoid water here).
Sunlight:
Many crystals like to bathe in the sunlight, especially red, orange or yellow (like Carneal and Stone of the Sun).
Crystals can be left in the sun for a few hours for cleaning and energizing.
Take great care with crystals placed in the sun, some crystals turn off their color or even change them.
Usually, there are crystals that are pigmented, such as the Amethyst or Florina.
Preferably do sunbathe only when it is certain that the crystal is compatible with sunlight.

In water:
A bathing in cold water is very refreshing for most crystals.
It can be running water or non-running water.
It is important to remember that the water is cold, crystals do not like hot water.
It is an easy, quick way and can be done anytime and anywhere.
While the crystals are immersed in water, they see how the water cleans them from all negative energies.
The water will clean them both physically and energetically. Water cleaning is the handiest method when it comes to cleaning the crystals in a bracelet, for example.
Keep in mind that there are certain crystals that are not cleaned in water.
As a general rule, it is advisable not to submerge the crystals with a Mohs hardness equal to or less than 5.
Also, if it is desired to keep a crystal for a longer period, it is good to make sure that the crystals do not contain iron because they can oxidize (crystals such as the Hematite, Magnetite, etc.).
Saltwater:
It’s another way to clean the crystals but require extra care.
Many crystals can be damaged by salt. Crystals with a Mohs hardness of 7 or more can be washed in salt water.
It is preferable to use intuition and to the least doubt not clean with salt water.

These crystals should completely avoid exposure to water.
Water may damage the crystal or even disintegrate and dissolve it.

History of healing crystals
The first historical references to the use of healing crystals come from ancient Sumerians that included crystals in magical formulas.
Egyptians from antiquity used turquoise, emerald or quartz for protection and health, but also for driving evil spirits.
Also, the ancient Greeks lifted the crystals on an extremely high pedestal, attributing miraculous properties.
In fact, the word crystal comes from the Greek “ice”.
It is said that the quartz stone was actually a water that froze so loudly and deeply that no one will ever melt it.
In ancient China, jade was the cornerstone. It was used to protect against kidney disease, but also as a protective amulet for the great emperors.
The Mayans, as well as other American Indians, used crystals for both diagnostic and curative purposes.
In the old villages of that geographic area, large quartz crystals were used to visualize space and time.
If you know how to choose the right crystal, if you follow the rules of purification, and if you “listen” to the voice of the stone, positive energies and vibrations will affect the body and the mind.
