The earliest recorded use of crystals for clear seeing, or clairvoyant, purposes, as well as healing purposes, date back to 10^th century Persia, where scrolls still exist that illustrate that the art of “scrying,” or “perceiving from a distance; a form of divination,” was used by practitioners of esoteric sciences. In addition, Agate, a micro-crystal variety of quartz, which is characterized by its fineness of grain and brightness of color, was found more than 3,000 years ago in what is now Italy.

Crystal gazing is extremely rich in its historical context; though we do not know the exact date or place where this practice originated, it is reasonable to say that crystal gazing in some form has been with mankind since antiquity.

Have you considered having a crystal bath?

One that I find most exhilarating is a Hematite and Clear Quartz bath. Fill your bath with water at your desired temperature and add 6 to 10 Hematite tumbles and 3 to 6 Clear Quartz tumbles. Hop in and lay back and relax, making sure of course that you aren’t laying on top of one or more of the crystals. This can be a bit uncomfortable. I find this bath especially invigorating after a hard day of physical labor or to re-energize when I am feeling down. Often the energy playing in the bath feels like thousands of little air bubbles coming through the water: A most delightful sensation.

There are many other combinations to try. Why not experiment and come up with your own! Of course, make sure that you only use hard crystals that won’t be affected by immersion in water.  When you have finished be sure to rinse your crystals off and dry them thoroughly.
