When researching something else entirely :) I found this list on mindat.org
it is for the top 50 crystal/mineral localities.

I hope it helps!

Hello :)

I found some articles that may be helpful. Here is one on the history of crystal healing. http://www.rebel-angel.co.uk/acatalog/Crystal_History.html

Here is another article that talks about Crystal Healing.

As far as how the metaphysical properties were first known and what are the sources--there are many written accounts though out history on how crystals were utilized. I am sure there was a lot of trial and error applications as well. Many times, the metaphysical properties are channeled by those who are working with the crystals. For instance, I have actually "communicated" with some of my crystals to see what information would present itself. I believe anyone can do this.

Hi!,
I'm very new in crystal matters...
I've read many spiritual propierties of crystal and stones, and I wonder...

...¿how these propierties were known? ¿what are the sources of the knowledge?

...¿where can I find information about "prooving or finding spiritual propierties of crystals"?

I appretiate any help you may provide...

Best regards,
José

I think you may need to be a bit more specific :) For instance, when you say crystals, do you mean clear quartz only? Amethyst, citrine, etc are also types of quartz. There are literally hundreds of crystals out there. If you could clarify a bit, that would help.

As for what continents, it depends on the crystal. In general, South America would produce the most variety and quantity of Quartz.
Probably North America second. After that, much more research would be necessary :)

I know this is not much help, but if you could be more specific that would definitely be helpful.

Hello,

I am a graphic design art student doing a big project on crystallization. Right now, I'm creating infographics for this natural phenomenon. I have a few questions in order to do this.

1.) Among the continents, where are crystals the most common? Commonly found and least found. If you could arrange ALL the continents starting from most to least.

Hopefully you can help me out?
Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know. I've fixed the error and you should be able to upload pictures just fine now. :-)

Hallo there

Good to find you on the Wiki network :)

I am really looking forward to adding some photos, but
am experiencing exactly the same problem as 'Spiral' :

" ... I haven't been able to locate any Upload links when
I'm in the photo gallery, even after following the 'add
your photos' article... The actions column in the gallery
only shows a 'List' icon. The blue bar tabs under Browsing
Gallery only shows 1 blue bat named: 'List Galleries'.. "

Looking forward to helping out.
Many Blessings
Lol

I've checked the photo gallery today and the upload image tab is now showing next to the list galleries tab. Thank You!

I'm able to add gemstone/mineral photos of most of what I currently have. I have been giving crystals a home since 1986.

I was going to upload a couple of photos today, but I haven't been able to locate any upload links when I'm in the photo gallery, even after following the 'add your photos' article. I'll have another look once I've posted here incase I've missed it somehow.

Wishing you all a great day!

Love & Blessings,
T

Edit:

Confirming that I'm unable to see an upload link.
The actions column in the gallery only shows a list icon.
