History of Crystal Healing
Crystals have been revered by many cultures, religions and peoples across the history of humankind. This human affinity for crystals is not just due to their visually striking nature, rather, archaeologists and historians suggest crystals have always been valued for their magical or spiritual properties.
The first known use of crystals dates back to the Mesopotamian civilisation of 8000-2000 B.C., where it was supposedly used in a magical capacity. Further along the timeline, Ancient Egyptians used crystals for spiritual connection to higher powers. One archaeologically proven example includes the placement of quartz on the forehead of the deceased to aid in their journey through to the afterlife.
Today, crystal healing continues to be prevalent, with the normalisation of crystal jewellery for both aesthetic and spiritual purposes by younger and older generations alike. Not to mention, joining in on the mystical phenomena is now easier than ever!
