38: The healing history of crystals and their meaning with Carol Woolton

When did we begin to rely on crystals for healing rituals? What is the significance of crystals? Why are we gravitating to these stones more than ever?

On today's show we have the jewellery historian, stylist and British Vogue's jewellery editor for twenty years, Carol Woolton. Carol is a complete expert in stones, jewels and gems and we dive into her new beautiful book, The New Stone Age, exploring the history and power of crystals in helping us relax, ease anxiety, create safety and help manifestation.

A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable.
