In addition to their usage for beauty benefits, Finney says that crystals were often not only used to identify royalty, but also carved into amulets for protection, and were usually buried in tombstones to support the soul in the afterlife.įinney's passion for healing led her to a career in spiritual work after an eight-year career in the fashion industry. “Goddess Auset (Isis) would go to the river to massage rose quartz on her face”-long before facial rollers existed. “Our ancient ancestors were well aware of the wisdom that could be found through crystals’ vibrations,” Finney says, adding that they were historically a major part of the Kemetic lifestyle (an ancient Egyptian religion and way of life, and the lens through which Finney speaks about crystals in general), particularly in their beauty rituals.

She notes that, when it comes to crystals, there's something for every need, whether it’s emotional support, confidence, or overall vitality.

Amber Finney, also known as Amber the Alchemist, is a spiritual practitioner who uses crystals as a central part of her work.
