Diamond is regarded as a master healer for its capability to unite the mind and body. It is best used as a supporting and uplifting stone, intensifying the supremacy of other minerals when working on some particular issues, particularly where blockage and clogging of energy have resulted in a physical imbalance.
The Diamond is valuable in strengthening and purifying the functioning of the brain, anxiety and sensory organs.

Those people who feel that they have lost their self-worth and identity and are unable to step into spirituality, they must use Diamond.

- Heals and Balances Chakra
The high-frequency energy that Diamond carries within itself heals almost all the chakras especially the crown and the etheric chakras.
The top of a person’s heads is the position of the crown chakra. It is considered a gateway to the long-drawn-out and vast universe that lies beyond our bodies. It controls our thoughts and emotions so that we can express ourselves well in front of the outside world. Crown chakra is the origin of our values and beliefs. When crown chakra remains in balance, all the other chakras in our body become balanced.
The etheric Chakras are located above the head and are connected to more enlightened and spiritual things. They set up a connection with the soul and represents true humility.
