I gasped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some years earlier, I had learned about the tradition of \u201ccrystal gridding,\u201d an art form I had been innately practicing since my teen years, which uses crystal placement within a space to enhance, affect and transform. After stepping back from my crystal-embedded claro walnut slab, I realized that I had created a beautiful grid with Mother Earth as my partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I used the work as my coffee table, and felt its energy shift my focus. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An acquaintance pleaded to buy the table, and after a year or so I finally relented and sold it to her.

What are their aesthetic, spiritual, symbolic or scientific properties?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crystals are incredibly powerful, generating basic energetic support. For their aesthetics alone, I love crystals. They are originals. When you take the aesthetic of something that is unlike anything else in nature, and place it with 20 other items unlike anything, the effect is quite special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When those special crystals sparkle at night through the glass resin, for a moment you can forget who you are and get lost in another dimension. It\u2019s magic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The energetic and spiritual properties of crystals are what fuel <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">my <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">intentions. Both crystals and gemstones in the home provide positivity in innumerable ways, by emitting balance, calm, knowledge and clarity, to name just a few attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though all objects possess an energy, crystals grow in the earth\u2019s crust over millions of years at high pressures and heat. This places them among the objects on our planet with the most energy, enabling them to power watches, computers, lasers and other gadgets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLight waves\u201d move stagnant energies \u2014 much like acupuncture would \u2014 allowing positive energy to circulate.

After I place the wood on a table, an air compressor clears the dust, while I check details and secure delicate parts with resin to make the fibers strong and ready for gems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before I begin to work with stones, a dam is built around the holes in the wood. As I lay the gems, I feel each element energetically before I cement them in place with solution. From a channel state, my intention is to provide the highest vibration for the purpose of the work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the stones are in place, resin layers are painted on the back and front of the piece to encase, seal and protect the stone energy. Soon, the fragmented energies become one vibration, and the guided energy is translated into physical form. From that feeling and my knowledge of crystal and gemstone properties, the frequency is described in the accompanying energy sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In gratitude, I have a tree planted in honor of the one I have been granted.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_224373\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-224373\" class=\"wp-image-224373 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M4A1908b_cropped_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M4A1908b_cropped_2.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M4A1908b_cropped_2-500x350.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M4A1908b_cropped_2-120x84.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-224373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The crystals in this Vibrational Works table in a Manhattan living room mimic the glow of the Jersey City skyline at night.
