And now it is believed that stones, especially precious ones, have healing properties. These abilities of stones are studied by lithotherapy (from the Greek lithos – stone, therapia – treatment).

What is important to know
It is believed that stones have an energy that affects a person: in some cases – on his general condition, in others – on specific organs.
In order for the stone to show its strength, it can be worn in the form of jewelry: earrings, rings, beads, bracelets; put in clothes, for example, in a pocket, apply to a sore spot or in a calm atmosphere hold it in your hand for at least 5 minutes.
Stones that have been gifted or inherited to you are especially powerful. A stolen stone will not only be of no use, but can also be harmful.
Stones with defects: cracks, bubbles, cloudy areas – have harmful energy.
You can check if the stone is right for you. Place it under your pillow before bed. If you have nightmares at night, then, alas, this is not your stone, but if your dreams are calm and joyful, feel free to use the stone as a remedy.
