- China and Japan - Quartz was traditionally revered in the Far East, especially in carved form. Quartz crystal balls were considered to represent the heart or essence of the dragon
which were thought to have great power. However, the stone most associated with China is jade. It was termed the concentrated
essence of love.
A jade butterfly was a symbol of successful love.
- India - The culture of ancient India is a rich source of information about crystals. The system of chakras(energy centers) (see Chakra page), which helps us to place crystals on the body for healing and meditation originated there.Astrological documents written as early as 400 B.C. contain detailed observations about the power of various stones to counteract the negative effects of planetary positions.Moonstone, for instance, was a sacred stone, and believed to arouse love. The ruby was a highly valued gemstone, and was known as the "king of precious stones."

Crystals Healing Guide
Whilst schools of thought always vary by mild degrees, below is a list of the more popular stones and what ailments they are thought to aid.
For crystal healing, you should hold a particular stone and meditate with it in your hand for at least ten to fifteen minutes whilst concentrating on the particular part of the body or mind you wish to heal.
Remember, as with any holistic treatment, it should be an addition to conventional treatment and not a replacement.

History Of Crystals
written by Crystal Green
For many centuries, the healing and mystical property of crystals has been recognised, studied and even worshiped and the use of crystals for healing on many levels began long before what is called the New Age.
When you hold a crystal or meditate with them, place them in special areas of your
home, or wear crystal jewelry, you continue practices which are as old as humankind.

- Native American Indians - They made mirrors out of pyrite and Obsidian served bothpractically and in ritual purposes Mayan Indians even used Quartz crystals for both the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
