#crystal help

Hi love!

I actually run a crystal shop, so I like to think I know a fair bit bout crystals!

There are crystals for all kinds of things, but I'd say for a beginner these are the most important;

Rose Quarts - good for self love

Amethyst - good for healing, anxiety and sleep

Obsidian - good for protection

Clear Quartz - good for clarity

Red Jasper - good for grounding

What's the point of having

crystals?

└─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───┘

Crystals have many different purposes that vary person to person. Some people have them because they are rock collectors, some have them for their healing properties, some have them for their spiritual properties, it varies person to person (or witch to witch).

They help raise our vibrations so we can interact with the spirit world, they promote calming, they assist in meditation, they clear spiritual blockages, and so many other things that I cannot begin to cover

The world is our toolbox, and crystals are simply another tool

How do I find myself the

perfect crystal?

└─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───┘

How one finds the perfect crystal will differ person to person, but this is how I find the perfect crystal for me. Feel free to try my method, or try something else, and find something that works for you.

Personally, crystals are not a priority in my practice, so I don't put a lot of pressure on myself to learn them all. I learn what I am interested in first, and learn about more crystals after.

When I am picking out crystals, I always do so in a local metaphysical shop and not online. I like to be able to feel them, feel their energy, and inspect them to make sure they are real.

Sometimes, I have visions of crystals, and those are the crystals I look for. My most recent experience of this was envisioning a red and black spotted pendulum, which turns out is Red Dalmatian Jasper! I guess the biggest tip for finding the perfect crystal is to go with what you are drawn to, and then researching it (but please research before purchasing, you need to know what energy you're allowing into your space).

┌─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───┐

So, what do I do with it?

└─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───┘

Well, after you buy it you should cleanse it in some way, I have a whole post on protection which discusses ways of cleansing. Cleansing gets rid of any negative attachment or energy on the object, this ensures nobody's bitterness from the shop or where-ever follows you. After cleansing, you need to charge it with your energy, a pet's energy, sunlight, moonlight, whichever is most appropriate for your stone. Once it is charged, then you can use them for meditation, divination, clearing blockages, etc. I have used crystals without charging them before, they just have weak energy if you don't charge them in my opinion.

(CAUTION: NOT ALL CRYSTALS CAN BE IN THE SUN, TOUCH SALT, OR BE IN WATER. RESEARCH WHICH ONES SO YOU DON'T RUIN YOUR CRYSTALS)

Why are there different shapes?

└─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───┘

So different shapes do different things in the spiritual world, the shapes signify what the crystal is best used for in my opinion. Here are some common shapes and their meanings:

Sphere: used sometimes for scrying, emits energy in all directions

Heart: Sending love across space

Tower, pillar, or Point: Amplifying intent

Pyramid: Brings your intentions into the universe

Cube: Grounding

Meditation Stone: Stone gives skin/person energy through skin-to-stone contact

Pillars or Tower: Can charge other crystals

Egg: Fertility, stability

Wand: Used for healing and rituals

My Shop

SELENITE

hey friends! i need the help of some crystal people.

i just got this ring off of etsy for $6. i left a review stating that i didn’t believe that the ametrine crystals are real because they look pretty fake in my opinion and the cost seemed too low for them to actually be genuine crystal like the seller claimed.

the seller just sent me a message asking me to take my review down because they are insisting that the crystals are 100% genuine. so my question for crystal people is: are there any ways i can tell if this ametrine is real without going to a jeweler? i don’t want to leave a good review for the shop if they are just ripping people off but i don’t want to leave a poor review if the seller is being honest.
