Gemstone Healing: Why They Really Work

We’ve all heard the hype about gemstones. But let’s be clear—they’re not just a fad. They work. And here’s why.

Our bodies aren’t only sensitive to what we eat or drink, but also to the energies that surround us. Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt the tension, as if the air itself was heavy after an argument? Or maybe you’ve read about EMF frequencies—those invisible waves scientists keep warning us about—that can negatively affect our physical health.

Now here’s where it gets fascinating: gemstones.

Each gemstone, depending on where and how it formed, carries its own unique mineral composition. Because we are sensitive, energetic beings, our systems naturally absorb and respond to those vibrations. Just having gemstones in our energy field can literally shift our frequency.

Mother Earth has provided everything we need for healing—if we’re willing to listen.

Minerals, Science, and Energy

Take lepidolite, for example. It naturally contains lithium. Doctors prescribe lithium to treat anxiety. Does that mean lepidolite replaces your doctor? Absolutely not. Let’s be wise—stay with your doctor, stay on your treatments—but also know that Earth offers natural allies we can work with alongside modern medicine.

Here’s the difference: medication builds up in your system, often leading to higher and higher doses over time. Gemstones, on the other hand, build up in your energy field and work to correct the imbalance. Over time, they can help restore harmony so you may eventually need them less—not more.

Why Gemstones Work

I share this because it’s something I never found in books. Most guides list physical, spiritual, and emotional properties—but they don’t explain why or how it all works. And if you’re like me, you want the deeper understanding. You don’t just grab a crystal because someone says, “This one helps with anxiety.” You want the reason. You want the why.

Now you know.

Alchemy in Practice

But keep in mind—because gemstones are energy, not all of them play nicely together. Some pair beautifully, amplifying one another’s gifts. Others clash, like two people who share the same profession but can’t stand to be in the same room.

So how do you learn what works? Start simple. What I call the broke girl way: one stone at a time.

Give each gemstone three days. Notice how you feel. Pay attention to impressions, sensations, or energetic shifts. Once you’ve met them individually, you’ll see more clearly which ones belong together. That’s when alchemy begins.

And don’t worry—I’ll be sharing some of my favorite gemstone combinations here on the blog.
