I have always been fascinated with and almost in awe of crystals and gemstones. As a child I never got into collecting dolls or toys; I collected rocks! My rock collection was quite impressive; I had crystals and geodes from all over the world. Not your typical thing to collect but I guess I wasn’t your typical child either. For some reason I was drawn to these gemstones. I was…
Being an empath is a beautiful gift and a spiritual superpower, although it might not always feel like it. An empath is somebody who is able to feel the emotions, the energy, and even the physical pain of others. They tend to have a heart of gold and a highly developed intuitive sense. This heightened level of sensitivity and perception can make an empath shine as a healer, a counselor,…
Despite the plethora of anecdotal evidence that exists on the healing powers of stones and crystals, the debate continues to rage in the scientific community over whether crystals actually have any real healing power. For example, a basic internet search reveals many articles claiming crystal healing to be pseudoscience. In fact, one recent study argues that crystals have absolutely no healing power and that the placebo effect accounts for people’s…
By Jade Small (TMU) — Gem and crystal collectors love nothing more than mining for their own treasures and North America has plenty of public mines to go digging. If you’re planning a trip to the South Carolina area, or just passing through, consider adding an extra day or two to your trip, if time permits, for a mining adventure that might have you heading home with some stunning gems…
Today, we understand that all things in the universe are forms of energy with their own frequency and vibration – including crystals. Nikola Tesla declared this concept as the key to understanding the universe and proved how certain forms of energy can alter the vibrational resonance of other forms of energy. This concept is why healing crystals and stones are still used today to align, heal and alter the…
The immense variety of rocks and minerals found on our planet is stifling. Intricate geological processes have been in play ever since the Earth’s formation over four billion years ago, forging the plethora of natural elements that the planet is comprised of into unique crystalline formations. There are currently over 4,000 officially recognized mineral species, some of which have been found to have devastating affects on organic life, despite how…

All gemstones carry their own unique vibrational frequencies and by placing them on your body or in your aura you can then change your own vibrational frequency. Crystals also act as amplifiers. They amplify your intention and bring about the desired outcome much faster. Take the quiz below to find…
Out of Balance Time crystals are strange. At the very least, they are a contradiction. A time crystal is quantum phenomenon that demonstrates movement while remaining in its ground, or lowest energy, state. Essentially a non-equilibrium form of matter, time crystals are lattices that repeat not in space but in time, breaking time-translation symmetry. When the idea of a time crystal was proposed in 2012 by physicist and Nobel laureate Frank…
Crystals… You probably have images of psychics with them lined up like they’re Magic: The Gathering cards. Crystals are ubiquitous in New Age circles. And you might have even heard your “conscious” friends tout the benefits of crystals like they work divine miracles. Let me clear the air first… Crystals are not a miracle healing solution (well, nothing really is). They work in subtle ways. To use nutrition as a…
