What are Crystals
Crystals are hard, solid substances composed of molecules arranged in a specific order in the form of interesting shapes that have straight edges and flat surfaces. They can form in a variety of ways, including evaporation of water, freezing of water vapour in clouds, or gradual cooling of molten rock. There are many various forms of crystals and each of them has a different shape. They can have beautiful colours and patterns, or be transparent. Crystals grow, and as they grow, they repeat a specific pattern that makes them a certain shape, so they permanently have the same shape as they grow.

Crystal Healing Properties
Some people claim that crystals encourage the stream of good energy and help clear your body and mind of negative energy for physical and emotional benefits. Crystals differ in physical properties such as hardness, cleavage, thermal and electrical conductivity, and optical properties. Crystals also have strong healing powers that are activated as soon as you touch them. The crystal vibration interacts with the body’s natural energy frequency, resulting in a feeling of relaxation, clarity and focus.
