Crystal Meanings
The meanings or the effects of crystals have ancient global traditions within practically all cultures. They have been fashioned into precious gemstones, utilised as tools or weapons or treasured for their healing properties. In countless books and movies they feature as incredibly powerful instruments of Energy.
Contemporary interpretations of meaning and use often have a close relationship to the crystals colour and the Chakra associated with that colour. This stems from the fact that colour is produced by different frequencies of light, and we know that light is energy, and that energy does have an affect on us in ways particular to the vibration of that energy.
Discordant, jumbled energy, like noise pollution, is an accepted cause of stress and dis-ease. It's also generally accepted that clear, harmonic energy, like classical music, is very good for us. Sound energy has a measurable, physiological impact on us, as does light energy, as does all forms of energy, whether it be free electrons blazing from the Sun, or stabilised, contained energy within atoms, elements and molecules that are the building blocks of life as we know it.
Crystals are beautiful expressions of truly harmonic, stabilised energy patterns that are treasured for their wonderous apperances and mystical attributes. Listed below are the crystals we've selected to use in our jewellery and dream-catchers.
