The first historical references to the use of crystals come from ancient ancient Sumerians and include magical formulas in crystals. The ancient Egyptians used lapis lazuli, turquoise, agate, emerald and clear quartz in their jewelry. They also carved tombs with the same jewel necklaces. Ancient Egyptians used stones mainly for protection and health. Water pale jade (later translated as both yellow crystal and peridot) was used to fight night terrors and purify evil spirits. The Egyptians also used crystals through makeup. Galena (lead ore) is ground into a powder and used as an eye shadow called kohl. Malachite is used in a similar way. The green stones are generally used to represent the hearts of the deceased and are included in tombs. The green stones were used in a similar way in late ancient Mexico.
The ancient Greeks believed that a large number of properties came from crystals and many of the names we use today are of Greek origin. The word "crystal" comes from the Greek word for ice, as it is believed to be water-transparent quartz ice deeply, which will remain solid at all times. The word means "non-drunken amethyst, once worn as a talisman to prevent both drunkenness and hangovers. Hematite comes from the word blood. Hematite is an iron ore and the ancient Greeks associated iron with Aries, the god of war. Greek soldiers would rub hematite against their bodies before battle, perportedly making themselves invulnerable. Greek sailors also wore various amulets at sea to ensure their safety.
Jade is highly valued in ancient China and some Chinese characters represent jade beads. Musical instruments in the form of chimes were made of jade and about 1000 years ago Chinese emperors were sometimes buried in jade armour. There are tombs with jade masks from about the same period in Mexico. Jade is recognized as a kidney medicine stone both in China and South America. More recently-dating back to about 250 years ago-the Maori people of New Zealand wore jade pendants to represent ancestral spirits, which are passed down through male lines for many generations. The traditional green stone is used as a lucky stone and continues to be used in Finland today.
