Healing Jewelry: Shocking Gemstones and Crystals

For thousands of years, crystals and gemstones have been used in jewelry for their holistic healing properties, meditation practices, chakra cleansing, balancing, and various other therapeutic benefits. While all gemstones are valued for their unique beauty and significance, certain types, known as 'pyroelectric' and 'piezoelectric' gemstones, hold a particularly special place in the realm of crystal healing and gemstone jewelry.

Crystals and gemstones with piezoelectric properties have fascinated both scientists and spiritual practitioners for their unique ability to generate an electrical charge when subjected to pressure. These stones, including quartz and tourmaline, are not only admired for their natural beauty but are also believed to possess healing and energy-enhancing qualities. Piezoelectric healing crystals, in particular, are thought to amplify energy and restore balance by harnessing their electrical charge to stimulate the body’s energy fields. Whether used in meditation, energy healing, or simply as part of a collection, these crystals offer intriguing possibilities for those looking to explore the intersection of science and spiritual well-being.

However, in its pure form, it is usually slightly softer than quartz, making it better suited for protected jewelry designs. Jeremejevite is the rarest of gem types to exhibit piezoelectric traits. Since it is so rare, it is often worn in its rough crystal form rather than faceted, in order to preserve as much of the material as possible. Crystal pendants are considered to be ideal, especially when allowed to touch the skin, as the metal is thought to conduct the electricity from the crystal's energy.
