Archeological knowledge that is available to us today shows that the use of healing gemstones is not simply a New Age, mumbo-jumbo concept advertised by spiritual gurus.
Instead, gemstones carry history not only in their structure and how they are formed, but they were also ancient tools used for healing purposes and good luck charms.
20th and 21st century generations are not the first ones that were fascinated and drawn to them. As far as available knowledge goes, ancient cultures, such as the Ancient Sumerians and Ancient Egyptians were some of the first cultures to use healing crystals.
We don’t have the evidence as to how they knew about the healing powers of these gemstones without modern science, which makes the use of crystals in ancient times even more fascinating.
As far as the history of healing stones goes, what we know today is that the use of crystals dates way back to into ancient cultures. As a matter of fact, some of our prehistoric ancestors were found buried with them.
