Since prehistoric times minerals and gems play an important role in our lives. Apart from makeing tools, weapons and ornaments they were used as amulets and talismans due to their beauty and oddity. Nowdays esoteric and healing use of them became more important again.
As the mineral cyclopaedia we also started a small cyclopaedia dealing with the esoteric healing use of minerals, which also broadens. If you have any health problems or illness talk to a doctor.

Crystal skulls may seem to be bizarre, but if you know their history they can become more interesting. In Mexico in 1924 an archeologist F. A. Hedges in an ancient Maya pyramid found a skull consist of two peaces (with separate jaws) made of rock crystal, which was really hard to make with the technology of that age. At that time theories came up already about this specially wrought crystal skull is left by a previous civilisation or even aliens brought itt to the Earth. More books treats these and the Indiana Jones film was made due to this interest. Some people set down special abilities to these skulls. More simular skulls have been found since that (we can’t know how much is real) and nowdays smaller and bigger crystal skulls are being made from various crystals which can supposedly contact the ancient skulls.
