General information on crystals:

• The word crystal stems from the Greek language and stands for 'ice'.
  It was the belief that such a stone was only water frozen into this solid form, now beyond melting.
  This early idea was kept alive as late as the 18th century.
  Even then some scientists maintained clear rock crystal
  being fossilized ice!

• Precious stones have been on the trading markets of the word
  for more than 5000 years now.

• The New Millenium has shown an increasing interest in Spirituality.

How to store & keep crystals:

• Usually crystals don't require more than a bit of dusting.

• To charge a crystal with some talismanic energy
  it helps to carry the stone on or with you,
  when you engage in the activity for which it was bought.

• It will be your personal choice whether to display crystals
  in a bowl, in a jewellery box
  or keep them constantly with you either as jewellery
  on you or in a silk pouch, for you to take out and handle
  whenever required, to use their energy.

• Crystals are believed to store certain healing energy.
• But they also soak up energy from their environment
  and this energy might be negative one.
• Therefore it's a good idea to purify your crystals.

• You can use Air, Earth, Fire or Water
  for this purification process.

• By creating your own 'cleansing stones',
  you will have your own in-house cure for this task.
• Simply scatter around any stone that needs purifying.
