How to Use these Gemstones

When gemstones have direct contact with the skin they are able to encourage your own vibrations to rise up and meet theirs. This helps to release stagnant energy and chakra blocks which can also contribute to stronger healing, a boosted immune system, and better overall health.
Other ways you can call on the healing power of crystals is to place them on the part of the body that needs attention and let them do their work directly. You can also use them in crystal grids and as part of your meditation or other spiritual practice.
