The Crystal Index
Meanings & Explanations
Crystals, used for millennia for their power and beauty, are thought to harness the life giving energy of the sun, moon, earth and the oceans. It takes millions of years for the earth to create a crystal.
We are drawn to them because they are natural, beautiful, mystical and magical.
Almost all of the ancient civilizations incorporated crystals into their healing rituals or used the stones for protection. For the Chinese, jade was the go-to mineral. For the Persians it was turquoise. And for the Egyptians the must-have stone was malachite.
Today, we carry, display, or wear crystals for many reasons. To raise our vibration, remind us of an intention, to manifest or heal or just to admire the beauty and energy of them.
Each crystal carries a unique energy and vibration. Here are the crystals and their meanings that we use in our products:
