How to Choose the Right Crystal
Choose by Intention
Think about what you want support with: protection, love, calm, confidence, focus, abundance or spiritual growth. Then choose a crystal connected with that intention.
Choose by Energy
Some people choose the crystal they feel drawn to first. This can be a simple way to build a personal connection with your collection.
Choose by Chakra
Use chakra associations if you want to focus on grounding, heart healing, communication, intuition or spiritual connection.
Crystal Safety Note
Not all crystals are safe in water, sunlight or direct skin contact. Selenite, malachite, pyrite, lepidolite and softer stones should usually be kept dry. Crystal use is spiritual and personal, not a replacement for medical care.
