Polished Crystals

Crystals are polished in different shapes for design, beauty and for different uses to do with healing and “New Age” activities. Polished Crystals are also found in jewelry. The polish of the stone sometimes helps repair broken corners and brings out the beauty of the Crystal as well as finding different new uses for the same stone.

Some people are attracted only to rough Crystals and yet others prefer polished “perfect” looking ones.

There is no significant difference between the influence of the natural stone and the polished one. They are both composed of the same minerals and are the same colors.

The difference is in the direction the energy flows. Pointed Quartz for instance, natural or polished directs the energy to one point – very focused. There may be a problem if the natural stone was formed in one direction while the polishing of a point was done in a different direction. Usually the polish is according to the natural growth of the stone so that there is no problem. A ball shape stone on the other hand, distributes the energy all around and therefore is good for harmony.
