A crystal is a solid
substance with a geometrically regular shape. The word 'crystal' originates from
the Greek 'Krystallos', meaning 'ice.' This is because the Greeks believed that
a rock crystal was water that had been permanently frozen by the gods.
In 1784 a French mineralogist, Rene-Just Hauy discovered by accident that if a
crystal were dropped, the fragments all displayed a similar appearance. Crystals
can be used in their natural form or a man made shape such as egg, or wand shape
and emit the same healing properties. Some shapes are better at directing energy
than others. Below are listed the main forms of configuration, natural and man
made. |
