Where do gemstones get their power? They
all have a crystalline structure that can collect, store, and release
electromagnetic energy, similar to the way today’s commonplace battery does.
Scientists and engineers have discovered
through experimentation that a crystal will accumulate and concentrate the
energy of any given energy field in close proximity. Further, they’ve
discovered that if a crystal is squeezed, energy from within the crystal is
released. Light can also be released during the compression of a crystal. While
the expansion is infinitesimal, electrons are emitted and are then reabsorbed
by the crystal, thus producing energy. Schoolchildren discover this by rubbing
or heating crystals and feeling a marked static change. This is known as the
piezoelectric effect. Anyone who doubts the power of this effect need only be told
that it is one of the causes of earthquakes.
Quartz is the crystal most often used
today in both scientific and spiritual realms. It is, perhaps, the most
prevalent of all gemstones and can be found on every land mass on Earth. Common
quartz was used in the world’s first radio broadcasts and enabled the chips
that propelled the computer revolution. It stands to reason that quartz was the
first crystal to be synthesized by manufacture. Today, man-made crystals are in
vast usage in our watches, computers, and other electronic devices.
Quartz is composed of silicon and
oxygen, the same basic minerals that make up this planet. Silicon dioxide (SO2),
the building block responsible for the geologic makeup of the earth, is also
inside us, which may explain why there is a natural attraction between our
bodies and crystals.
