Natural occurring substances in the earth affecting energy grid patterns on living organisms is the basis of the current interest involving gemstone healing properties.

A subject of legend and folk lore, the idea that gemstones affect human health goes back thousands of years.. Whether true or not true, we must accept there are many things in our natural world we simply do not understand. This site explores the potential healing aspects of a wide array of rocks and gemstones; as well as investigates some of the historical models these beliefs came from. Fascinating ideas. New age in content: not for some readers who take objections to anything alternative or radical in thinking paradigms.
