Crystal Science
‘Crystals
represent the lowest stare of entropy possible because they have the most
orderly structure in nature.’
Richard
Gerber
in ‘Vibrational
Medicine’
‘The human
body and all of its components are crystalline in the basic structures. We
are designed physically to run energy. In a way, we are complex
bio-crystals that have multiple functions that operate in a multi
dimensional format of expression.’

The use of crystals for different purposes goes back
to many ancient cultures. As stated in Gale Encyclopedia,
‘crystals can receive, amplify, convert and focus
energy, or store an electrical charge. (…) These many interesting
scientific properties and technological uses underlie much of the recent
metaphysical attention to crystals.’

According to R. Bourne, Ph.D., ‘Quartz
are said to induce the following health benefits: increase and balance
body energy channels, balance physical health, help with meditation,
stimulate body's chakras, and stimulate the self-curing abilities of the
body. If you are trying to find a scientific explanation of why crystals
have all these health benefits you probably will not find it in medical
journals. But there are some people trying to explain how crystals may
help with your physical and mental health. For example, it is said that
the crystal structure has something to do with the healing benefits of
crystals. Quarts crystals are made of silicon dioxide*. This simple
molecule (one atom of silicium and two atoms of oxygen) has the capability
of release energy once heat, impact or pressure is applied to the crystal.
This energy enhancing capability may be the explanation of all the
multiple benefits of quartz crystals.’

A recent study by researchers from the University of Amsterdam,
published in Nature Nanotechnology
(November 28, 2010),
shows that a visible emission of energy – visible because converted into
extra light - is possible in silicon nanocrystals. Moreover, these
emissions are affected by the size of the nanocrystals.

Silicon
dioxide
or
Silica
is a
‘compound made out of the two
most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, silicon and oxygen (SiO2).
Silicon is the second most abundant element of the earth's crust (26%),
second only to oxygen in abundance (49%). In the human body, silicon is
found in the connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and blood
vessels and it is thought that the mineral is essential for their
integrity.’
