Gemstones
Many well-known crystals owe their names to the language of the ancient Greeks –
amethyst (a-methustos) means not drunk, and was worn to prevent drunkenness and hangovers;
haematite comes from the word for blood (haema), and as an iron ore is used to aid blood-related disorders;
and, believing that clear quartz was so deeply frozen that it would remain solid forever, the Greeks named crystal itself using their word for ice (krystallos).
The status of gemstones throughout history has been steadily increasing, to a point where, today, they appear in all manner of holistic therapies. Crystals for healing, colour therapy, and chakra healing, for instance, all involve a passionate belief in the power within crystals. In fact, most “healers” and “readers” usually have some form of crystal presence in their therapy rooms. Psychics, tarot readers, reiki healers, etc., often give pride of place to a large piece of rose quartz, an amethyst geode or a quartz crystal cluster, each piece designed to enhance the mystical or spiritual ambience of the room.
