Gemstones, Crystal Formation and its Effects on the Consciousness

Crystals form when a liquid solidifies in room temperature. Gemstones used for centuries in jewelries are all crystals that formed when hot magma cooled. What give them their uniform structure are the geomagnetic and gravitational forces of the Earth. Dating as further back to the Early Mayan era in North America, crystals have been used in medicine and healing. In India, they have been associated with bringing good luck and people wore ridiculous numbers of Crystals as a result. All throughout history they have been precious and held in high regards.

     


 With every volcanic activity, crystals form as the Lava cools. Some stones form over two, three or hundreds of cycles of eruptions. Each can take from over a thousand years to a million years. Therefore, natural crystals are always rare and valuable. Gemstones being abundant portray the great age of the Earth, and the billions of years that passed before it became so widely habitable. They are a reminder of nature’s true power.

Crystals are beautiful, that is why we bring them to our homes and wear them on our bodies. But aesthetics aside, Crystals do offer you some benefits. Every color reflected from a crystal can change the moods of its viewers. For example, a blue object appears blue because it reflects all other colors of light except blue. Again blue light has shorter wavelength, shorter the wavelength the more energy that wave has. And therefore, blue objects absorb high energy light giving off a calm vibe to the observer. Also, this makes a person more energetic as blue light is transferred to the crystal then to the body of the wearer. A sapphire crystal will benefit a lazy person and make people around him feel calmer. Even without this knowledge many Mountain healers of Kashmir have put sapphires in the water for people suffering from high blood pressure. Even though these people do not possess any knowledge of how the electromagnetic waves function, they do understand the significance of these stones through their ecological awareness.

The human ecological awareness is the most heightened of any other species on this planet. Their consciousness can perceive physical laws without knowing them in equations and numbers. That is what allowed early humans to survive through ages where engineering and medicine were archaic. Often called emotional intellect or “instinct”, it is the unbreakable bond between the Earth’s natural forces and the creatures living on it.

Imagine the early humans digging through the Earth’s crust for fun and discovering something shiny, uniform and beautiful, it is like a message from God to them. In all the chaos they have sorted out, there was a great example of order hiding beneath. That is where crystals truly find their value. If you play long enough, something good will happen off that game, gemstones taught people exactly that. Elders of our tribal ancestors wanted people to learn this message. Thus allowed the younger tribesmen to fight over valuable items. By teaching them why objects became valuable in the first place, they were initiated into magic of the human consciousness and its connection to the Earth. Crystals have benefited us not only as individuals but also as a species to grow and evolve. By playing such a vital role in human value-orientation, human society has become inseparable from these beautiful stones.

Even after all these years there is still controversy over whether or not gemstones serve a horoscopic function. It may be agreeable that the basis of horoscopes relies on the condition of the nearby celestial bodies during the time of a person’s birth, yet their exact correlation is minimal with what stones may benefit them. Because a person will experience the universe differently from different places on the Earth and they will require different stones on different occasions. However, this does not necessarily devalue the use of Crystals as lucky ornaments. Ask any person who wears a gemstone, they will reply yes that their lives have been better ever since adopting the crystal.

 For whatever reason a person adopts a gemstone, it is their precious object. It offers great boost to self-esteem every day. The wearer finds more confidence.  Gemstones promote the beauty of order and show off the abundance of the Earth on which we live. Most of all it gives people hope. The invaluable treasure that shines in our hearts during bad times, signifying that a better day lies ahead.
