Who decides what each stone is suitable for you? Who decides if a stone is good for the stomach or the throat; for unconditional love or mental clarity? Is it all just a bunch of random ideas attached to random stones having different colors?
The short answer is no, and it’s not random.
There is a marvelous logic that governs healing crystal energy. Its origin is ancient but easily adaptable to the modern age. As long as we have existed as a species, we have had an affinity with stones and crystals. In some cases (particularly with India), we have thought particular crystals have healing properties for nearly 5,000 years! But India wasn’t the only one with those beliefs in healing…Our ancient knowledge knows when to treat the body with modern medicine and when to treat the soul with a healing stone.
