CRYSTALS

Crystals are the most delicate,subtle and beautiful objects.Thats why I love them.I would like you to share my interest in crystals.

The beauty of crystals is irrefutable. Difficult it is to deny the aesthetic value these objects bring into home and building interiors.

Never has there been such an exciting array of crystal jewellery available .Earring, rings, bracelets and pendants – rounded cabochon’s, stones cut in the style of precious gems and probably the most popular, gems’ in their pure, unfinished state.
Crystal has never been more popular as jewellery but as well as the more fashionable use, crystals have metaphysical properties which crystal healers believe can aid in everything from balancing and grounding, to channelling and healing. Some stones have singular abilities where as others, such as clear quartz have many uses.

The style and setting of crystal jewellery is purely one of personal taste and does not affect the individual properties of each crystal – although some people believe that the raw stones, touching the skin affect the stones ability to work faster .

Crystals work on a subtle vibration and those waves of energy will reach the close proximity of the physical body without too much trouble! The human body works with energy the same as electronic equipment might – we don’t question the use of quartz to help keep our watches working or as an important component of our computers!

The name crystal finds it origin in the Greek word krystallos. Some of the macro crystals popularly used in jewelry are amethyst, citrine, rock crystal, smoky quartz and rose quartz. Examples of cryptocrystalline stones are agate, onyx, jasper, sadonyx and chalcedony. Crystals occur in many colors but the clear stone is the popular favorite. Crystals are cut into different styles and shapes and fashioned into jewelry pieces. Round, oval and baroque shaped beads are fashioned out of crystal. Crystals are also cut into oval, square, princess cut and pear shaped and marquise cuts.

The price of crystals is based on the carat weight and clarity. Crystals are more expensive with increased carat weight. Crystal jewelry crafted out of a single stone costs more. Crystals are formed deep inside the earth's crust due to the crystallization of silicon and oxygen. These gemstones are held in a variety of metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks and are mined naturally.
