The Power of Crystals

crystals

Crystals are incredibly versatile.  They can be used in a wide range of ways to improve your life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  The mystical ways of using crystals are usually dismissed by modern science as mere superstition, and yet science recognizes the inique, and often very strange, properties of minerals and crystals, making use of their characteristics in everything from wristwatches (quartz), automobile spark plugs (kyanite), medical lasers (ruby) and space shuttle windows (sapphire).  Gem experts discover the true colour of a crystal by a streak test.  This involves scraping the crystal across an unglazed ceramic tile to leave a fine dust of particles, revealing the crystal's underlying colour.  The streaks of smoky quartz, violet amethyst, yellow citrine, rose quartz and green aventurine, e.g. are all grey-white - exactly the same as for clear quartz.

Basic colour qualities:
