Purpose
Our amazing planet was thoughtfully designed with many gifts/attributes to help sustain our natural, physical bodies… gifts such as Gods’ Plant and Mineral Kingdoms. There are more than 4,500 types of crystals and stones on our planet. Crystals contain DNA of the Earth. Various mineral combinations grow into rocks/gemstones/crystals which form their unique colors, textures, structure, and possible benefits for the world… including us!

TOPICAL USE OF MINERALS
When we wear gemstones as jewelry, our bodies interact with these minerals. The stones warm to our body’s temperature and react to our moisture/perspiration, oils, and pH levels (acidity/alkalinity). Gemstones release micro amounts of minerals. Wood, resins, and amber release micro amounts of plant essential oils. These minerals and oils are absorbed through our porous skin and blood vessels.
VISIBLE, PHYSICAL INTERACTIONS
Minerals, various types of wood, fabrics (linen, wool, cotton, etc.), plastics (synthetics), and electronics we may wear, all interact with our bodies on various levels. A visible example of this physical interaction is seen with the raw mineral, copper. If someone wearing a copper ring has a high acidic pH level, the ring and the person’s skin may both turn green. The mineral affects the person: the person affects the mineral. This green is often produced due to the person’s high acidity (perhaps influenced by medications, chemicaIs, mycotoxins, etc.), quickly oxidizing the copper. For many decades, people have benefitted by wearing copper jewelry as a modality to support relief from arthritis discomfort, etc.
I coat my copper with a sealant to decrease oxidation, which also creates a barrier for people who may experience skin reactions to various metals. I also offer uncoated pendants, if you prefer/request a custom piece. All sealants do wear off over time (with wear) and can be reapplied as desired.​​

ENERGETIC EFFECTS OF MINERALS
​
Even without moisture, acidity, oils, or heat, you may notice certain minerals can have an energetically soothing, calming effect (amber, amethyst, Caribbean calcite, selenite, copper, gold, etc.). Some may have a grounding and calming effect (shungite, petrified wood, black tourmaline, etc.). Others may have an energizing effect (quartz crystal, ruby, heliotrope, silver, etc.). Native American Indians are very well connected to Earth elements, and as a Medicine Woman revealed, they are taught therapeutic uses for gemstones/minerals during their training. Such an intriguing culture! And wouldn’t you like to know why priest in the Bible were instructed to wear specific gemstones in a grid pattern on their chest when praying? I trust it had more significance than simple embellishments.
Essential oils, therapeutic colored lights, and massages are typically effective tools for me as needed. But I’ve occasionally experienced knotted muscles that wouldn’t relent to essential oils, therapeutic lights, or massages… however those knots quickly melted away when certain stones were gently rolled over a knotted muscle (by a massage therapist or myself), such as black tourmaline, shungite, or selenite. Tuning forks with attached gem tips offer leveled-up effectiveness, for me, as well. If you’re familiar with Color Light
Therapy, you likely understand that even the color frequency of gemstones and metals can interact with the body in unique ways.

OBSERVABLE, ENERGETIC INTERACTIONS
Some people can’t wear watches very long, as the batteries quickly drain and stop working. I saw it happen to my mom all the time. One of my classmates (in a continuing education class) mentioned, that her watch batteries quit shortly after she feels a light pulsing sensation (elevated energetic interaction?). Others experience repeated issues with computers, cell phones, or batteries in handheld color light therapy tools, etc. Their body’s energy fields appear to interact with these devices and quickly drain the batteries. Perhaps a sign that something (minerals/energy/toxins?) may need rebalancing/remineralizing/grounding/cleansing/ detoxing, or perhaps increasing intake of healthy fats (i.e. coconut oil, for instance, which helps fortify the myelin sheath around nerves), etc. Several possibilities to consider with elevated energy interactions.
MINERALS IN HUMANS & OCEANS
Our bodies contain 92 minerals. Ocean water contains 92 minerals. Coincidence, or intelligently designed to work together in various ways? Some liquid minerals (such as colloidal or ionic copper, zinc, silver, magnesium, etc.) may also be used orally or topically as supplements, to clean wounds, protect skin, clean water, etc., as needed. The Earth helps support us in many synergistic ways.
RESOURCES
Two of my favorite books to learn about supplementing with minerals are:
-
THE COPPER REVOLUTION: HEALING WITH MINERALS by Jason Hommel
-
BEYOND THE ARTHRITIS FIX: PROTOCOLS FOR STRONG JOINTS by Jason Hommel
Jason Hommel’s website also contains helpful information:
Note: Jason’s research only mentions wearing malachite (malachite naturally includes the mineral copper, etc.), but gives very detailed info on supplementing with minerals, which you may find to be a great place to start building a foundation of knowledge for the many benefits of minerals.
JEWELRY WITH PURPOSE
Consider intentionally choosing specific gemstones and metals for jewelry by their naturally beneficial attributes. The simple energy emitted from some minerals, and the micro amounts they release topically, may help nurture subtle shifts and a sense of balance when worn. Pay attention to what you’re drawn to, and your body’s reactions to them when worn. I’ll occasionally add more information and resources for how we interact with minerals and energy on my site. Enjoy researching, nurturing your amazing body, and exploring our natural world full of God’s precious gifts!
