About this ebook
Michael Gienger
Michael Gienger (1964-2014) was one of Europe’s most respected experts on crystals and their uses, a field in which he had been active since 1988. He started collecting minerals in 1972, and in 1985 a successful self-treatment with healing crystals inspired him to pursue further training as an alternative healing practitioner. He was trained in shiatsu and completed a two-year apprentice in shamanic healing. He went on to author more than 20 publications, a number of which have become standard works in their field and have been translated into 11 languages.

Purifying Crystals - Michael Gienger
The Skilled Use and Handling of Healing Crystals
It was a phenomenon nobody had anticipated; I had passed on to a friend a Heliotrope crystal (bloodstone) that had been of good service to me on several occasions for treating colds. I cannot remember the exact reason why I gave it to him, but I distinctly remember the effect! No sooner had my friend hung the crystal on a leather thong around his neck, when he began to experience symptoms of a cold. This happened so quickly that luckily he was struck with the idea of removing the crystal. Lo and behold, the cold symptoms disappeared as fast as they had appeared. He applied the crystal again – the symptoms came back; he took the stone away – the symptoms went away. This he repeated several times. Naturally, in the end, he laid the crystal aside and made the inevitable phone call to me saying, ‘For goodness sake, what kind of crystal have you given me?!’
I didn’t know. What was the matter with the crystal? According to everything I knew, Heliotrope was a crystal that was supposed to help with colds, so why was it triggering these symptoms? Was this something like we see in homoeopathy, where you trigger in a well person those symptoms of illness that will heal someone who is ill? We immediately tried out a different Heliotrope crystal and the effect did not occur. We went back to the first specimen – promptly the cold symptoms returned. Something appeared to be attached to that crystal, and only that crystal, which was not the case with other Heliotrope crystal specimens. I thought about the colds I had actually cured with that precise crystal, but it brought us no closer to understanding. Possibly the crystal had stored ‘information about the illness’. But how? And more importantly, how were we to get rid of that information?
I began to research this phenomenon and was greatly surprised by how many sources I found on the subject of storing and eliminating information in sensitive substances. Apparently this subject has been known about since ancient times, and there have always been the same hints and pointers on how to get rid of undesirable ‘information’. Cleansing with incense seemed by far the most favoured method all over the world, followed by cleansing with salt, which took up ten pages alone in a handbook on German superstitions that was a veritable encyclopaedia of customs and folklore!¹ At the same time (this was the second half of the 1980s) I came upon verbal traditions among North American shamans that emphatically recommended the cleansing of crystals on that subtle level by laying them in an Amethyst druse.
I set about verifying the findings. Healing crystals that had been applied to people with serious illnesses were tested by sensitive persons, who usually reported unpleasant sensations. Naturally, I was sceptical enough to mix in ‘unused’ crystals among the tested ones; but, to my astonishment, these were in fact perceived as ‘more neutral’. The obviously ‘polluted’ crystals were then subjected to various cleansing methods; they were sprinkled with salt, held in the smoke of burning incense, and laid on pieces of Amethyst druse. Lo and behold, afterwards those crystals triggered neither unpleasant sensations nor any kind of symptoms of illness. Even the Heliotrope we mentioned at the beginning was ‘clean’ again.
e9781844093427_i0003.jpgEver since then, the cleansing of crystals has become standard practice for the safe and careful handling of healing crystals. Undesirable ‘side effects’ can thus be clearly reduced, and the successful application of healing crystals becomes more reliable.
Also, interesting insights about ‘cleansing and protection’ as applied to human beings themselves were gleaned from our experiences with the crystals; this little book reports these as well.

How Do Crystals Become Contaminated?
Invisible Ballast
Have you ever experienced the following: You catch sight of a beautiful crystal, but when you pick it up it feels strange? Or, you wear you favourite crystal necklace, but after a while it feels as heavy as lead and tight around your neck? What you are perceiving is the ‘invisible ballast’, which has become ‘attached’ to the crystal. But what is it?
