Additionally, it should be noted that in science, the molecular structure of crystals are perfectly infinite. On a microscopic level, the molecules that compose a crystal are all identical, allowing it to repeat itself continuously forever. This is an important fact that separates stone crystals from the normal everyday rock in your backyard, which have incomplete molecular structures.
*Although it is said that crystal therapy and the use of crystals allows the body to balance its natural magnetism and heal itself, this information is not recommended as a means of diagnosing or treating any illnesses. All matters concerning physical and mental health should be supervised by a health practitioner knowledgeable in treating that particular condition.
