|
The following information is the first of several pages on crystals and their meanings which has been gathered over the years from our own experience with crystals and from reading many different books on the healing properties of an incredible variety of crystals. We are still searching for information on some of the newer crystals being found and will add this information in article form as soon as we have it. This article starts with Ablone and ends with Bronze. As our research into crystals and their properties has expanded we have found it impossible to write this information up as articles and have therefore created a book on the properties and healing powers of crystals. Please feel free to download the e-book available in the Downloads section of this website. (You will need to register to gain access to the downloads section of the site).
