The fascinating history of crystals
Before we dive into the details, it’s worth taking a brief look at history: crystals have fascinated people since time immemorial. Even in ancient times, they were prized as precious jewellery – Cleopatra is said to have had a fondness for lapis lazuli, while Roman emperors used rock crystal for drinking vessels because they believed it would cause poison to foam.
In the Middle Ages, many stones were believed to have special properties. Amethyst, for example, was considered a protection against drunkenness (its name derives from the Greek ‘amethystos’ – ‘not drunk’), while emeralds were said to strengthen eyesight. In various cultures around the world, crystals were used as talismans, in rituals or for ceremonial purposes.
