So, how and why do crystals work? Why have they always been prized, coveted, and used in healing through thousands of years? For those scientific minds, this may help explain…
According to Nobelprize.org
When Max von Laue showed that X-rays are diffracted in crystals and form characteristic patterns on photographic film, he proved in a single experiment that X-rays are wave-like and that crystals have a lattice-like structure. What wasn’t clear was whether the structure of the crystal and the wavelength of X-rays had any influence on the diffraction pattern. The connection, with its enormous practical implications, was established by the father and son partnership of William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915.
The key to the Braggs’ breakthrough is the fact that crystals are made of regular, repeating patterns of atoms, like oranges packed in a box. Rather than considering the dreadful complexity of each atom’s contribution to the X-ray diffraction pattern, the Braggs hypothesized that one could mathematically predict the diffraction pattern from reflections from each successive plane of atoms within the crystal.
William Lawrence Bragg proposed a simple but powerful equation – which became known as Bragg’s law – showing the connection between the wavelength of the X-rays, the distance between the planes, and the angle at which the X-rays are reflected. At the same time, William Henry Bragg designed the X-ray spectrometer, a device that could examine the reflections of X-rays from crystals. Together, the two scientists used the spectrometer to analyze the structure of several salts and small molecules, establishing fundamental mathematical relationships between an X-ray diffraction pattern and the dimensional arrangement of atoms in a crystal that produced the pattern.
Pierre and Jacques Curie also did scientific research into the power of crystals. Together, they discovered the piezoelectric effect. The Curie brothers found that when pressure is applied to certain crystals, they generate electrical voltage. They immediately saw the energetic potential of crystals and immediately put this discovery into practical use. This discovery was applied in familiar everyday devices such as quartz watches and used in various electronic components and microphones. Albert Einstein also references crystals and said, "Everything in life is vibration, and just like sound waves, your thoughts match the vibrations of everything that manifests in your life." He believed in the existence of vibrations in all life, including our thoughts. Our thoughts are energy, and the positive vibes of the stones will amplify those thoughts.
The crystals' atoms (made of electrically charged particles) are locked into a stable lattice structure. Because a crystal’s structure is fixed, the energy flows evenly in all directions. All crystals have different crystalline structures, hence the variations in how each crystal vibrates. Atoms within the crystals are moving energy, constantly in motion or “vibrating.” This organized arrangement of atoms within a crystal is each crystal's defining feature. The energy the crystals contain and emit depends upon the speed of this moving energy. A single crystal’s vibration arises from how its atoms and molecules move and interact. These vibrations move fresh energy into our bodies, offering internal connectivity that enhances our external connectivity to the world and those around us. Working with these crystals and the energies they possess allows us to realign with our biomagnetic systems and heal the unstable energy field of the human body. Crystals are a powerhouse for healing the mind, body, and spirit while eradicating negative and toxic energy.
