Crystal Color Name & Meanings For Healing

Amethyst corresponds to the crown chakra.


Crystal color healing is an ancient practice in which gemstones are used for physical, emotional and spiritual healing, usually by placing them on the body's energy centers, or chakras. Each chakra has a color and energy associated with it, and crystals or gemstones of the corresponding color are placed to cleanse and enhance the free flow of energy of that center. Crystals can also be worn, placed in bath water and used to infuse water that is then drunk. Crystal healers believe that gems radiate a vibrational frequency that realigns a person's energies with cosmic or Earth energies.
