"From early beginnings, gemstones and crystals have aided humans in healing illnesses and attaining wisdom. Their use is documented in many sources: 5,000-year-old Chinese medicine texts; 400 B.C. Indian Ayurvedic writings; ancient drawings in the tombs of Egypt’s pharaohs; and in the Christian Bible, where they are referenced more than 200-times! Also recorded is their use among shamans of indigenous cultures, who used gemstones and crystals to diagnose and treat illnesses."
