I love stones deeply and what they bring to everyday life. But your health matters more: here, plainly, is what crystal healing can, and cannot, do for you.
Last updated: [17/06/2026]
In short: crystal healing is a wellbeing practice. It can keep you company day to day, but it does not treat anything and it never replaces a doctor's advice or care. If you have any doubt about your health, always speak to a health professional.
What is crystal healing?
Crystal healing covers a set of practices built around using stones and minerals for relaxation, calm and general wellbeing. The properties tradition attributes to stones come from old beliefs and cultural transmission.
Those properties are not recognised by conventional medicine and, as things stand, rest on no validated scientific evidence. I share this world sincerely and with real enthusiasm, but honestly with you.
A wellbeing practice, not a treatment
The jewellery and stones I sell are objects of wellbeing, adornment and decoration. They are in no sense therapeutic goods or medical devices, and they carry no promise of curing or relieving any condition whatsoever.
When I describe a stone as "calming", "energising" or "protective", those words point to the crystal healing tradition and to how each person feels, never to a demonstrated medical effect.
No medical advice, diagnosis or prescription
Everything on this site, stone descriptions, traditional uses, wellbeing suggestions, is provided for information and cultural interest only. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a prescription.
I am not a health professional and I am not qualified to give medical advice of any kind.
Crystal healing never replaces treatment
Crystal healing may sit alongside a wellbeing routine, but it is never a substitute for medical care, a consultation, a prescribed treatment or taking your medication.
Never stop, change or replace a current treatment without your doctor's explicit advice. Stopping treatment on your own initiative can have serious consequences for your health.
Speak to a health professional
If you have a symptom, pain, illness or any doubt about your health, physical or mental, see a doctor or a qualified health professional. Only a qualified professional can diagnose you and offer treatment suited to your situation.
Using stones safely
Never swallow a stone, and never make "elixirs" to drink
Never put a stone in water or in any drink meant to be consumed, and never swallow minerals. Several stones contain toxic substances (copper, lead, mercury, arsenic and others) or dissolve on contact with water. That includes, and this list is not exhaustive, malachite, cinnabar, galena and some stones containing pyrite.
If a stone or a bead has been swallowed, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26, free, 24 hours a day, anywhere in Australia. If the person is struggling to breathe, is choking or is unconscious, call 000 immediately.
Keep out of reach of children and pets
Small stones and beads are a swallowing and choking hazard. Keep them out of reach of young children and pets.
Skin, allergies and care
If you notice redness, itching or irritation, stop wearing the piece: some metal settings can cause allergic reactions. Some stones are also sensitive to water, salt or long exposure to sun; follow the care notes that come with each piece.
Situations that call for extra care
Some circumstances warrant more caution. Please ask your doctor before taking up any wellbeing practice if you are:
- pregnant or breastfeeding;
- a baby, child or teenager;
- elderly or frail;
- living with a chronic or serious condition;
- currently on medical treatment.
Mental health and distress
Crystal healing is not a treatment for psychological or psychiatric conditions. If you are going through a period of anxiety, low mood, depression or distress, please don't go through it alone: speak to your doctor, a psychologist, or someone you trust. Professional support matters, and it helps.
In Australia you can reach Lifeline on 13 11 14 for crisis support and suicide prevention, 24 hours a day, or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 for anxiety, depression and mental health support, also 24 hours a day. Both are free and available from anywhere in the country.
In an emergency
Crystal healing has no place at all in an emergency. Faced with a medical emergency or someone in danger, don't lose time, call for help straight away.
No promise of results
How a stone feels is subjective and personal: it varies from one person to the next and cannot be guaranteed. No particular effect can be promised or assured.

Camille cannot be held responsible for the use made of the information or products presented on this site, nor for any decision taken on that basis. Each visitor remains solely responsible for their own health choices. Nothing here limits any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
