The gemstones may be used in crystal or faceted form. The energy of the stones becomes more intense in the faceted form and can be directed more easily to a specific part or area.
Gemstones may also be encased or encompassed in various metals. Gold is to used in a specific healing process. Silver is used when there is a desire to diffuse the energy. Platinum is a higher vibration than gold and may be used in a similar manner. Copper is a low frequency vibration and should be used over a small area.
Each gemstone should be at least four carats in size. They should be placed in a vertical North/South position so that the energy flow entering the Crown chakra ampliphies the energy of the gemstones. By turning the gem to a horizontal East/West position, the chakra may be opened and a slow movement within the chakra is started.The chakra may be turned by moving the gemstone by degrees. The gemstone will not work as well when used in combination with sound and/or color.
