The healing uses of crystals are documented as far back as 1500 B.C. in the Ebers Papyrus from Egypt. This Egyptian medicinal text documented the many ways in which crystals were used for healing.

-The ancient Egyptians strongly believed in the healing and protective power of crystals. Many pharaohs wore crystals on their headdresses and many crystal amulets have been found in their tombs. The pharaohs often had their masks lined with crystals in the belief that crystals helped them be better rulers. Many objects of Amazonite and Lapis were found in King Tut’s tomb and Amazonite was one of the stones on his famous gold mask.

-Crystals are also used for healing in Chinese Medicine, which dates back to at least 5000 years. Crystal needles are also often used in modern day Chinese acupuncture and in Pranic Healing.

-Crystals have also been recognized for healing by Tibetan Buddhists and the Ayurvedic healing system for hundreds of years. The use of crystals is popular in both Hinduism and Buddhism.

-The Vedas, sacred texts in Hinduism that are over 5,000 years old, thoroughly discuss the power of crystals and their uses for healing. The Vedas prescribe specific crystals for certain ailments and describe the properties and powers of different crystals. For example, in the Vedas it is written that Emeralds bring good luck and well-being.
