What is gemstone therapy?

Gemstone therapy is a holistic healing practice that uses the energies and properties of gemstones and crystals to balance, heal, and harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Each gemstone is believed to have unique vibrations and properties that can help alleviate physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Gemstone therapy can be used in various ways, such as wearing gemstone jewelry, carrying gemstones in your pocket or purse, placing gemstones on your body or in your environment, and meditating with gemstones. It is a non-invasive and natural approach to healing that can complement traditional medical treatments and enhance overall well-being. At Trove, we offer a wide selection of high-quality gemstones and crystals that are ethically sourced and carefully curated for their healing properties. Whether you are looking for a specific gemstone for a particular condition or simply want to incorporate gemstones into your daily life, we are here to help you find the perfect stone for your needs.

What are crystals?

Crystals are naturally occurring minerals that form in various shapes and sizes. These minerals have unique properties that make them popular for use in spiritual practices, healing, and meditation. Each crystal has its own energy and can be used to promote balance and harmony in different aspects of life. At Trove, we offer a wide selection of crystals for you to choose from, each with its own unique properties and beauty.

How can gemstones affect the energy body?

Gemstones are believed to have unique energetic properties that can help balance and align the energy body. Each crystal is said to vibrate at a specific frequency, which can interact with the body's energy field and help promote healing, spiritual growth, and emotional well-being.
 
Some gemstones are thought to be particularly beneficial for specific energy centers in the body. For example, amethyst is often associated with the third eye chakra and is said to help enhance intuition and spiritual awareness, while rose quartz is linked with the heart chakra and is believed to promote love, compassion, and harmony.
 
Wearing or carrying gemstones, using them for meditation or energy work, or simply keeping them nearby can help facilitate these energetic benefits. However, it's important to note that while many people find gemstones to be helpful for their energy body, they should not be used as a replacement for medical treatment or professional therapy.

How are crystals formed?

Crystals are formed through a natural process of solidification or precipitation of minerals. They can be created under high pressure and temperature deep inside the earth's crust, or through the slow evaporation of a mineral-rich solution. As the minerals solidify, they arrange themselves in a repeating, symmetrical pattern, giving rise to the unique shapes and properties of each crystal. Some crystals can take millions of years to form, while others may grow more quickly depending on the environmental conditions. At Trove, we offer a wide selection of natural and ethically sourced crystals, each with their own unique history and energy.

What are ways to get benefits from crystals?

There are many ways to use crystals, including:
 
1. Meditation: Holding a crystal while meditating can enhance your practice and help you connect with your inner self.
2. Jewelry: Wearing crystal jewelry can promote healing and balance throughout the day. Wearing gemstones on the right side of the body is the giving side, used when we want to radiate certain energies. Wearing them on the left side is the recieving side and integrating the energies with ourselves.
3. Placing crystals strategically in your home or workplace can help balance the energy flow and bring positive energy.
4. Exilir: Placing gemstones in filtered water for 24 hours and then drinking it is a great way to benefit from the crystals. Not all crystals are safe to be used as an elixir!
5. Decor: Crystals can be used as beautiful decor pieces to add a touch of elegance and natural beauty to any space.
