Precious and semi-precious gemstones have been used since recorded history and probably before, for spiritual, emotional and physical healing. On a cellular level, our bodies and quartz crystal are both made up of mineral silicon-dioxide. Because of this, we are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals as they transmit, reflect, store light and receive energy.

Here are flip boxes of the most commonly used precious and semi-precious stones and their metaphysical symbolism, healing properties, and spiritual meaning. We offer this information for reference and inspiration.  In no way are these properties meant to replace diagnosis and treatment by a qualified therapist or physician.
