First I am going to tell you about crystals. Did you know that each crystal has a three dilatational pattern? The word crystals comes from a Latin word. The word is krustallos. They mean the same thing. They just are spelled different. The different types of physical properties come from the size it is. Crystals are like little tiny grains. You can say that crystals are like metals They have the same state of matter. The different kind of crystals come from the structure. The long range color is a glassy material. They also call a crystal an amorphous solid. Crystals are natural healing minerals, maths, geological processes and chemical elements. We can work with crystals in many ways; always following intuition threw experience and with out experience . Crystalstructures can be studied from chemical or numeric aspects. They can also be studied as their atomic strutures.

Gemstones: meanings & properties
Probably the first stone used for ornamental purposes was a smooth colored river rock. Or maybe a pretty river stone was spotted before a hunter successfully got his dinner. The hunter then carried that pretty river stone with him as his lucky hunting stone. Stones of all kinds have played a very important part of the history of humans. From little river stones to huge stones, such as at Stonehenge, stones of all sizes and types have been called "the bones of Mother Earth". Stones have been used as talismans and amulets since recorded history and likely before that.
