Why Do Healing Stones Lighten Or Darken

Some healing stones change color.


Crystals have been used for thousands of years as symbols of wealth and supposed healing agents. Their unique atomic lattice structures make it possible that some crystals might change colors under certain conditions.


Types


Sapphire changes color in different light.


Alexandrite, diaspore, sapphire, garnet and spinel are known to change color when acted upon by light of particular length, color and intensity.


Function


Healing stones are believed to conduct energy.


Crystal healers believe that certain stones conduct energy from a healer to another body. When energy is amplified or conducted through the stone, the stone might change color.


Features


Human energy is believed to bring color change.


Certain crystals are energy conductors that can register a wide range of vibrations, including electricity, magnetism and sound. Various frequencies might incite color changes.








Potential


Opals and other fragile stones change color easily.








Opals are considered powerful healing stones believed to spark the imagination and absorb thoughts and emotions. Like other fragile stones, opals can change color with exposure to heat, salt or intense energy.


Prevention/Solution


Crystals can be cleansed with salt.


It is said that crystals are subject to physical and energetic damage and imbalances and can get "tired" from too much use. Crystal healers believe that tired crystals can be enlivened and cleansed with salt, sound and even moonlight.
