Crystal Meanings

Here is your chance to find the vibrational healing properties of the minerals that go into mineral makeup. Rocks, crystals and stones are aggregates of minerals. Minerals are solid elemental compounds with their own atomic structures. Although the healing stones look serene and unmoving, they all have an internal atomic vibration. Each one has an atom as their heart, and the atom is dynamic with its particles dynamically rotating around it. This is real science! Healing crystals are composed of interlocking minerals. The different mineral compositions sound and look scary, but each has their vibrational quality that has a special meaning which is what gives the crystal its energy.

Rock Formations

.

Igneous rocks are crystallized from cooled molten lava. It is a silicate melt which may contain many or few silicon, oxygen, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium and magnesium elements. These combinations result in different colors and textures that result in many healing stone combinations. Known healing igneous stones include obsidian, peridot, idocrase, epidote, serpentine and aventurine.

Igneous Rock found in Santoroni, Greece (from wiki):

Metamorphic rocks are reformed rocks due to different extreme heats and pressures. They are the alterations of pre-existing crystallized rocks. They have their own structure, grain size, healing properties and mineral contents. Clay minerals, quartz, mica, feldspar and chlorite can be found in these types of rocks, and healing stones rhodonite, tiger iron, epidote and kyanite forms inside this rock.

Sedimentary rocks are formed layers from erosion and transportation of pre-existing rocks and contain their own healing properties. They may contain fossils which you will not or rarely find in the above two rock formations. Amorphous, extraterrestial crystals moldavite and tektite are sedimentary type rock. Amorphous botanical crystal amber also belongs in this catagory. Triclinic stone considered sedimentary is turquoise. Amorphous systems have their own lifestyle meaning.
