Put Your Eye Candy To Work
Human civilisation has been harnessing the natural healing power of precious gemstones and crystals for thousands of years. This guide explores the magical properties of some of our favourite gemstones.
Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner are fans, Adele can’t perform without them, Naomi Campbell won’t travel without hers, Kate Hudson sleeps beside hers and Miranda Kerr even has a ‘magic wand’ in her handbag… Healing crystals are big news amongst the glittering stars of today.
The good news is that you need not settle for rocks in a bowl if you are drawn to the healing powers of the natural world. Fine jewellery uses some of the most powerful healing stones – polished, buffed and glittering against your skin, to boot. What’s more, you can up the ante on the feel-good factor of healing crystals by hunting down vintage and antique gemstones without the murky, unethical associations of newly mined rocks.
