Feng Shui Crystals and Rocks, And Their Role in Feng Shui
The use of Feng Shui Crystals is believed to provide healing powers and many provide positive energies either when placed in the home, or when worn as beads in jewelry. For many thousands of years crystals have been used in a myriad of roles, with recorded history from the ancient Egyptians to modern day Tibetans. In fact, Tibetan dzi beads are still believed to protect the wearer from illness and bad luck. Today, crystals are used in many industrial applications, from the use of quartz crystals in watches to using them to make memory chips.
Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shu-way) also utilizes the power of crystals. Placing crystals and other rocks throughout your home can have a very positive effect on the energies of the home, bringing a living energy to your space. Other Feng-shui cures that add a living energy are chimes, plants or water fountains. According to the principles of Feng Shui, each crystal exudes a particular energy or vibration. It is this vibrating energy that can transform a space and give it particular characteristics that you are seeking. Every type of crystal has a different impact, and each type of crystal has different energies that can be beneficial to your home.
As examples, the following types of crystals can provide the specific benefits listed. This is only a summary list and many other crystals and benefits can be obtained using Feng Shui crystals:

- Citrine Crystal - This crystal mimics the energy from the sun with its brownish-gold color, and promotes happiness. Similar to the sun, it is a life-giving crystal and penetrates your skin and subconscious with energy.

This volcanic glass will protect you from negative energy from external as well as internal sources, and is a great stabilizer by providing a calming energy for hyperactive or highly emotional people. Use obsidian in a child's bedroom to reduce stress and provide a calming influence for your active child.
