Chakra Gems

chakra

 For thousands of years, many cultures have believed that human activity is governed by seven energy centers in the body. These seven centers are called the chakras and stimulated by associated colors. Crystal mystics and New Age enthusiasts have assigned certain gemstones to these chakras based primarily on color. I have seen perhaps a hundred lists of gemstones associated with chakras. No two are alike. Following is a list of locations and colors of the chakras. I have listed some appropriate gemstones as well.

This list is by no means the final word.
