In ancient times, quartz was considered the best magic stone. And not only because this mineral, which was called ice that has lost the ability to melt (Krystallos - in Greek "ice"), is transparent and pure, like frozen water, but also because, unlike glass, it has an interesting quality: it is always cold to the touch. Patricians of Ancient Rome in hot weather with balls of rock crystal cooled their hands. And jewelers have long checked its authenticity by applying it to the cheek to feel the coolness.
However, quartz (rock crystal) was valued not only for its appearance and coolness. In the old days, it was believed that magic energy was contained in it and that the sun's rays, passing through the crystal, became healing. And therefore crystal balls were applied to the wounds.
And also rock crystal was revered by mystics as a stone of intuition and supersensible perception. This attitude towards him has survived to this day. Bioenergy specialists believe that the light escaping from rock crystal after repeated attachments and reflections activates the brain, gives clarity to thinking, concentrates thought, excites fantasy, inspires, and promotes insight and perception of "cosmic" information.
A perfectly polished ball allows you to best open up the unique possibilities inherent in the crystal of rock crystal. So, in any case, think modern scraers - "predictors of glass". They, like their ancient predecessors, are convinced that balls allow one to see the invisible, recognize the unknown, and travel both into the past and into the future. Enthusiastic researchers, trying to find out how much you can trust these statements, occasionally come across very interesting results. Here is what was written in the 70s of the XIX century:
The resulting image on a glass ball can be amazingly accurate and faithful. Pierre Janet points out that sometimes the "beholder" even moves away from the ball and takes a magnifying glass. Returning, he finds the old picture, which he examines in a magnifying glass. The picture unfolds in front of him wider and wider, details become clearer and clearer.
And although the words of clairvoyants now and then found confirmation, the official science of the XIX century (as, incidentally, and later) was in no hurry to explore the "mysticism." The maximum she agreed to was that the shine of the ball tires the brain and therefore the person more easily plunges into a hypnotic state.

An explosion of interest in the magical properties of crystal arose thanks to one of the most famous soothsayers of the 20th century - the Englishwoman Neil St. John Montague. Her father, Major General K. B. Lewis-Smith then served in India. And therefore the girl had no shortage of exotic toys. However, my favorite pastime was a crystal ball given by an Indian nanny. One day Neil, carefully examining the ball, suddenly felt that it began to somehow strangely lose its shape.
In its place, the girl recalled, a thick black foggy spot appeared, which seemed to expand, enveloping the entire space in front of me. Then I saw my mother's bedroom slowly looming in the midst of this blackness, and my eyes focused on the blue embroidered robe that lay on the bed.
Going to put it on, she went to the bed, stretched out her arms to take the robe, and suddenly, numb with horror, I saw something stirring in the soft folds of silk. It was a cobra. As she arched, frozen before the throw, a wild scream escaped from my chest, and I dropped the ball.
The frightened girl rushed to her mother and they, together with the guard, entered the bedroom, where a cobra rapidly appeared on the bed from the folds of the robe. After this incident, Neil never parted with a magic crystal ball. Sometimes she saw in him what was happening at a distance of thousands of kilometers, and what happened, and the distant future.
Predicting the fate of a young naval officer somehow, she suddenly saw in the ball next to him some bloody women in torn clothes. Where and when it was happening, Neil did not understand. A year later, she received a letter in which the sailor said that everything he saw in the balloon had happened in reality: he had to save these women during the Messinian earthquake in Italy. In 1908, the Sicilian city of Messina was literally turned into ruins, 83 thousand people died.
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, crystal fortune telling in England became a real fashion. For some enthusiasts, "crystal fortune-telling" was so successful that it turned into a profession, moreover, very profitable and bringing wide popularity. One of such famous crystal geysers (fortune tellers on crystal) at the beginning of the twentieth century was the Englishman Von Burg.
Fame brought him a number of intricate cases, which he solved with the help of a crystal egg, and, in particular, the case of the disappearance of the London broker Foxwell, who allegedly left for America on business. Without receiving any news for a long time, his wife went to the police. There they just threw up their hands, and then she went to the famous fortuneteller. Von Burg took out a crystal egg and soon said with sorrow: the broker had not gone anywhere, his body was floating on the Thames, and he would be found on such and such a day and in such and such a place. Everything came true with absolute precision.
Using his crystal egg, Von Burg successfully found missing items and even described their kidnappers. Sometimes he invited his clients to see the "pictures" with him. Such a session, for example, was held in the house of the missing Mary Manya. In addition to Burg, the sisters of the disappeared took part in the action.
A report of the astonishing experiment was published in the London papers on September 30, 1905. The sisters unanimously assured that terrible pictures appeared in turn in the crystal egg: a criminal attacking Mary; her body falling out of the carriage; traffic lights. Based on these testimonies, the police quickly figured out the place of the tragedy, found a witness and found the body of the unfortunate girl.
The fashion for crystal gating lasted in England until the mid-20s. An end to it and the corresponding books-manuals was put by a wave of indignation of the inhabitants: "those who peep through crystal" increasingly began to penetrate into the private and even intimate life of people.
However, two decades have passed, and fortune-telling on the crystal again became in high esteem. This time in America. Magic salons thrived and flourished. Charlatans, as always, were in abundance. And yet there were people who really had the ability to clairvoyance, for example, the American Jean Dixon.
Gene Dixon
Already at the age of five, Jean predicted future events, gifts that guests would bring, the death of relatives. And at the age of eight, she received a gift from a famous gypsy fortune teller, which determined her entire future destiny. Seeing the girl as a great fortuneteller, the gypsy gave her a crystal ball.
Soon little Jean learned to connect her mind to the "banks of information" inaccessible to others. At first, her accurate prophecies helped only those close to her, but in the 40s, when she got married and moved to Washington, people from the highest echelons of power began to turn to her. Jane has consulted President Roosevelt at least twice. Richard Nixon, who later became president, listened to her advice. During the presidency of Ronald Reagan, Dixon was considered one of his personal astrologers.
World fame came to Dixon in 1963, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy (1917-1963). She predicted this event back in 1956, when no one expected that in five years this young and little-known politician would become the President of the United States. In December 1966, Jane stunned the world by predicting the tragic deaths of three astronauts who were preparing to fly to the moon. The prediction turned out to be accurate - a month later, on January 27, 1967, during training inside Apollo 1, three American astronauts were burned to death: Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee.
The famous American psychotherapist Raymond Moody conducted a series of experiments with a crystal ball in his laboratory. “I have established,” he says, “that the visions in the crystal ball are not fiction, but fact. They were clearly projected in the ball, moreover, they were colored and three-dimensional, like in a holographic movie."

Psychologists from West Georgia College (USA) also decided to deal with the mysterious properties of crystal balls. Having invited about a hundred volunteers, they invited them to gaze intently into the transparent sphere. And what? More than half of the subjects attended the visions. These were the faces of acquaintances and strangers, images of childhood, repressed memories. Scientists have suggested that when gazing into the crystal sphere, a person falls into a state of self-hypnosis and images are called from the subconscious.
In addition, another surprising effect was revealed: the crystal ball allows for a kind of "freeze-frame". Looking at any plot from his past, the subject, at the command of the hypnotist, could stop the flow of events at any moment and examine the frozen picture in detail.
Only hypotheses can be built about the mechanism of the appearance of visions in crystals. Apparently, information can enter the crystal in different ways, for example, projected by the person himself. The fact is that, as proved by Russian scientists, Doctor of Biological Sciences Pyotr Gariaev and Candidate of Technical Sciences Georgy Tertyshny, DNA molecules, chromosomes and proteins, like lasers, are capable of generating so-called coherent radiation - strictly coordinated in frequency and phase.
In other words, our molecules are a kind of transmitting biolasers with a reconfigurable wavelength. At the same time, they act as receiving antennas. It is these amazing properties of DNA that provide a wave exchange of genetic information in the body, a significant part of which, as scientists believe, is stored in the chromosomal apparatus in the form of holograms. This allows each biological cell to instantly know what is happening in any corner of the body.
According to scientists, DNA is also responsible for receiving information from the outside, due to which the human body constantly interacts with the fields of other living beings, objects, the Earth as a whole, stars. Moreover, with the help of these DNA "antennas", he can enter exobiological contacts (with extraterrestrial life forms) and receive information from the information field of space.
It can be assumed that all this happens especially effectively in altered states of consciousness (ASC). Purposeful and conscious immersion in the "subtle world" is best obtained by those who have mastered the methods of entering the ASC: psychics, magicians, sorcerers, "contactees", as well as those who are able to concentrate their attention well and for a long time. But even in ordinary people, these abilities can be enhanced with crystals.
It is possible that gazing intently at the crystal ball, a person imperceptibly goes into the ASC mode, while not only the formation of internal superholograms in his brain occurs, but also their powerful radiation outward. And above all through the most important "antenna" of the body - the eyes and pineal gland. Under the influence of this radiation, the atoms of the crystal can change their position in the crystal lattice or their energy state, and the superhologram projected onto it will be memorized in the crystal. How long it will be stored in the crystal - seconds or centuries, depends on various factors: the characteristics of the "projector" and the effect of other radiation on the crystal.
But it seems that images can get into the crystal without human participation - directly from the information field. For this it is necessary that this "device" was tuned to a certain area of it. The reason for this setting may be a preliminary external influence on the crystal. As a result of such "programming" it will become an independent receiver of holograms "from there". When these holograms are irradiated by waves emanating, in particular, from a person next to the crystal, a deciphered image “appears” in the depths of the crystal - a picture taken from the “subtle world”.
The colossal information capacity of the crystal lattice allows it to record huge volumes of a wide variety of information received from the information field: from scenes from the life of ancient Indians (in crystal skulls) to the state of health of people who once came into contact with this crystal.
The holographic hypothesis also explains other phenomena that eyewitnesses tell about. For example, the fact that the sizes of images inside crystals can be different and even change during observation. The theory fully admits this. So, it is known that if radiation is directed at a hologram that differs in wavelength from that used for recording, then the reconstructed image will appear larger or smaller than what was recorded. For example, if the read wave is longer than the one used for recording, the object will be enlarged. Holographic microscopy is based on this principle.
Since a person in the course of concentration of attention involuntarily rearranges the tuning frequency of his DNA molecules, the characteristics of the coherent radiation emanating from him also change. This can explain the mysterious phenomenon: when the “fortuneteller” has a desire to better examine a holographic image in a crystal, it seems to be approaching and increasing in size by itself.
The facts and phenomena that researchers continue to face today only reinforce the idea that crystals have some informational properties that have yet to be discovered.
