Carnegie Science research provides these mineral formations “represent the starting point of the mineral evolution of all planets and moons in our solar system”. In essence, crystals appear to be pieces of the universe in their most pure and cooled states. The word crystal is derived from the Greek word Krus-tallos which stands for icy-cold, rock-type material. 

Gems have fascinated humans for more than a millennia, with historical records showing even the ancient Sumerians (4th millennia BC)  incorporating the use of crystals in their rituals. Crystals can serve many functions, including and not limited to providing a healing function, amplifying certain properties, absorbing negative forces, and even averting unwanted frequencies such as with Shungite Tile or Orgonite.

Incorporating crystals into a dedicated practice can help create a sacred and magical space that can amplify or negate certain energies. The magic arises when the user instills their intentions through the medium, the crystal itself. It is no wonder crystals have been as captivating as they are on their own.
