Crystals and gem stones: nature’s eye candy and free sparkling jewels.
You’ve likely seen them as décor, worn as jewelry or even included in architecture. While some people may just think that these stones are only used for art or beauty, they also carry very specific energetic frequencies that one can use and tap into.
Since everything on Earth carries a particular energetic vibration—just as all atoms throughout the cosmos do—crystals and gemstones can enhance your life if you know how to use them.
Whether you decide to keep some around your house or wear them, you can tap into their tremendous power and strength on an unconscious level.
