Hello, I wanted to purchase some crystals for my nephew for protection. He works at a prison in San Francisco, and I wasn't sure what would be good for him. He's always surrounded by negativity and who knows what else is in that place. By the way I LOVE your site - I'm so glad I ran into it! Thank you.

Hi M,

Crystals for healing should be used as a complement to other therapies and not as a replacement for regular medical care.  The information offered here is based on a combination of my own personal experiences and that of others on using crystals for healing.  My hope is that you will let your own intuition guide your path in working with crystals as well.
