….For centuries, crystals and other gems have been desired for their alleged magical healing and mystical paranormal powers. This belief continues today among occultists and New Age healers, even though it is based on nothing more than testimonials, the placebo effect, selective thinking, wishful thinking, subjective validation, sympathetic magic, and communal reinforcement. There is no scientific evidence that crystals are conduits of magical energies useful for healing and protection, or for telling the future.

According to the purveyors of this crystalline pseudoscience, crystals channel good “energy” and ward off bad “energy.” They carry “vibrations” that resonate with healing “frequencies,” work with the chakras and help balance yin and yang.

As soon as I put it on my baby, she’s never had teething problems again.
I bought it for my second daughter before she even started teething and she’s never had pain throughout all her tooths.
It’s because when they wear the necklace, the minerals and oils from the amber gets absorbed through their skin and it reduce with the inflammation that causes pain and swelling.
That is one reason I believe in healing properties of crystals and stones now.
