METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CRYSTALS


HOME

The following chart provides a brief listing of selected crystals and their metaphysical properties. I would strongly advise you NOT to read any Metaphysical information, then chose the crystal accordingly. You should choose a crystal first, then read the Metaphysical properties. For more information, I highly recommend the book Crystal Co-creators By xxxxxxxx and Love is In The Earth by Melody

Within the table you will find links, to some of my own crystals, this will help you to identify the crystals. Julian
