I'm in the process of learning about crystals and
gem stones. Where on the body should they be worn?

Would a gen in a ring be effective? Or is it best worn
around the neck?
Some say it needs to touch the skin for it to work.

thanks a lot,

I think there are as many ways to work with crystals as there are people who work with them. :) You can use your intuition to select crystals and lay them on the client's body. You can have the client select them randomly. You can find a good book on the subject and go by what it says.

I took a crystals class once, and saw how stones will stick where you put them until they're "finished", at which time they start moving and even roll off the client's body. If a stone doesn't seem to want to stay where you put it, it's probably not the right one to be using.

Whatever crystals you use, try to remember to always place a white/clear crystal at the head, and a black one at the feet.

Hope this is helpful!
