Scriptural Stones & Crystals

Stones & Crystals Mentioned in the Qur'an

 

Coral, pearls, and rubies are mentioned in the Qur'an in reference to describing beauty. However, stones and crystals are not thought to have any healing abilities.

 

"...they are like rubies and coral" [al-Rahmaan 55:58]

"Out of them both come out pearl and coral" [al-Rahmaan 55:22]

"Like unto preserved pearls" [al-Waaqi'ah 56:23]

 

 

Stones & Crystals In The Talmud

 

There were 12 stones, one for each of Israel's tribes, each associated with metaphysical attributes.

 

  • Ruben: Odem (Ruby/carnelian). Helps childbirth
  • Shimon: Pitda (Chrysolite/emerald). Cools the body
  • Levi: Bareket (Onyx/topaz). Enlightenment.
  • Judah: Nofech (Malachite/carbuncle). Overpower enemies.
  • Yissachar: Sapir (Lapis-Lazuli/sapphire). It helps eyesight and healing. Additionally, the 12 commandments were written on Sapphire.
  • Zevulun: Yahalom (Zircon/diamond). Helps sleep.
  • Dan: Leshem (Jacinth/zircon).
  • Naftali: Shvo (Agate). Helps riding.
  • Gad: Achlamah (Amethyst). Bravery.
  • Asher: Tarshish (Topaz/aquamarine). Helps digestion
  • Joseph: Shoham (Beryl/onyx). Perceived well by all.
  • Benjamin: Yashpeh (jasper). Helps blood clotting

 

Rabbeinu's Bechaye claims that in order for the stones' powers to work, one must be ritually pure; otherwise, the stones won't work or may even be harmful to a person.
