Through these experiences, they have acquired wisdom, and so can be of great assistance to us. Although they don’t seem to communicate in the way plants or animals do, make no mistake: they are just as powerful and carry great medicine if we learn how to use them appropriately.

Some stones are very beautiful to the eye, but they are not just worn as adornment or as fashion—stone medicine has been an integral part of many ancient civilizations for centuries. Every ancient culture, from Greece and Rome to Egypt and China, has used crystals for various purposes. These include everything from fashioning weapons and tools (flint or obsidian), to wearing protective amulets (jade or ruby), to crushing fine pigments to use as makeup (lapis lazuli). Many ancient sites were chosen because of their proximity to stones—think of Stonehenge, Sedona, and Machu Picchu. The ancient medicine people knew how to harness and maximize the energetic vortices of these specific places to maintain stability and harmony in the land where they lived. Certain groups, such as the shamans in the Andes, are known as pioneers in stone medicine. They infuse them with the highest energies through their breath and honor the high mountains where their stones came from. The Australian Aborigines also used quartz crystals in their initiation rituals and used them to ignite their highest potential.
