The lattice structure of covalent bonds within a forming crystal have been long proven by science to be capable of retaining energy and calibrating it to a certain frequency, depending upon the elements involved in the lattice. Human beings, which generate bioelectric field due to the life processes and chemical reactions taking place to sustain life, can be affected by these energies. When kept within the bioelectric field, or as most of know it, the aura, it can create subtle changes within that energetic field and have impact in the conscious life of the person using them.

Crystals do have different effects and functions when in different shapes and configurations. There are many different naturally forming configurations, such as druzies, twins or bridges, that each have their own unique functions. Crystals can also be cut or ground into different shapes, such as pyramids, spheres and obelisks; these too all have separate engendered properties that give them different purposes.

These phenomena typically indicate that your crystal became depleted of energy, had completed its work with you, or divided to be shared with another. Nikola Tesla once theorized that though their ‘lives’ may be quite different than the one we experience, crystals should be considered living beings. Those who have worked with crystals for many years will attest that they can create quite curious and mysterious effects.

Typically, the stone will require a lengthy period of charging if this occurs, the most suitable way being to bury it in soil for a full lunar cycle. Some crystals will be ready to be worked with again after this time.
