My late boyfriend believed pretty strongly in the healing power of crystals. He always had crystals around him and he gave them as gifts to the people that he loved. I have several on my windowsill and gaze at them every day.
I’ve always admired their beauty, and am fascinated by what the planet can produce without really trying, so I enjoy having them around me. Do I think they heal? The jury is still out on that. But even if any positive results that they produce are purely due to the placebo effect, I say more power to them. Whatever works.
My favorite thing about these crystals is that they are a physical, tangible piece of evidence of Chuck’s love. He left these in his wake wherever he went. Many of his friends, after his passing, said they held these crystals while they cried for him, and it gave them comfort. Others say they carry them wherever they go, and they think of Chuck and smile.
So maybe crystals do heal after all. I’d like to think so. Just in case, I’ll keep mine forever close to my heart.

this is one of the great mysteries of life.
What is?
If crystals work or not…
Ah. 🙂 Well, if it works for someone, I’m happy for them, and it matters not the science behind it, as far as I’m concerned.
Exactly
I definitely believe in the ability of crystals to heal, and also believe that they pick up some of the energy of those who work with them often. I’m so sorry for your loss, such a beautiful and sad story! Love and hugs, Chrissy xx
Thanks, Chrissy! I think even this blog picks up energy, because everyone has been so supportive, and that really helps.
Leaving behind something tangible is underrated, really. Sometimes life can seem surreal and sometimes memories are all we have. To have something to hold, something real, that’s everything!
I couldn’t agree more. I touch those crystals every single day.
