La adopción de amuletos como objetos protectores de las personas se pierde en la noche de los tiempos. Según las claves espirituales y los valores de cada cultura los artesanos escogen materiales a los que se les atribuyen poderes mágicos o curativos, formas y símbolos sagrados o bien artefactos que han sido objeto de rituales y que por lo tanto tienen el poder de convocar la protección de los dioses. Llevar encima un ágata protege en los viajes. La amatista hace aborrecer el alcohol. El ámbar atrae la buena suerte y protege contra los hechizos. El azabache te hace inmune a los hechizos y la magia negra, y es eficaz contra el dolor de cabeza y los tumores; muchos niños latinoamericanos llevan cuentas de azabache enhebrados en pulseras como protección contra el mal de ojo. El cuarzo, muy popular entre los aztecas, elimina la ansiedad. La punta cristalizada del cuarzo, es el armonizador universal de las energías corporales. El huayruro era usado por los incas como talismán, en forma de colgante, collar o brazalete; protege contra el mal de ojo y atrae la buena suerte. El jade propicia sueños adivinatorios; se usa como amuleto en Asia desde el año 4000 a.C. y fue utilizado como talismán por los egipcios y los aztecas; llevar un trozo de jade cuando se va a firmar una transacción importante es garantía de éxito. El lapislázuli da poder; ya era utilizado por babilonios y sumerios como amuleto, y los egipcios tallaban en esta piedra figurillas de escarabajos sagrados. El ónix da sabiduría y potencia.
