Understanding crystals and how they work can feel pretty overwhelming if you are new to the crystal world. There is so much to know about each one, how they work, which ones to own and what can they do. This is a great starting point for you to understand some of the more popular crystals, what their properties are and how their energies work. The first and probably most important lesson on crystals is even though they each have their own meanings and uses, rely on your own super power of intuition, which ones you feel drawn to and how they speak to you. Along with types of crystals and stones there are also many different shapes. A break down on a few of the most common shapes and how to choose what's right for you:
POINT- A Crystal point is an intense tool that serves to focus and amplify the stone. You can use the point to direct the energy inward or outward.
SPHERE -Provides a gentle full energy and emits the energy out equally in every direction.
HEART (PUFFY HEARTS)- A great shape for reminding you to keep the healing properties close to your heart.
CLUSTERS- A beautiful crystal that is formed by nature. It is believed to vibrate on a higher energy. Having a cluster in your home is not only a beautiful piece of decor but it helps to keep the energy elevated that you wanted to cultivate.
PYRAMID -You can use it to help manifest your intentions, write them down on a piece of paper and set your pyramid on top. A sacred shape used in ancient civilization, use the crystal pyramid to beam concentrated energy into the universe.
TUMBLED STONES- Smaller stones that can easily be carried in your pocket (or Bra), easily used for creating crystal grids. While trying to figure out which are best for you or if you are new to crystals. Tumble stones are a great way to begin and get a feel for the energy.
Here is a short list of some of the most popular Crystals and a great starting point for beginners, but if you are drawn to something else go with that intuition you know what is best for you! There are so many crystals to choose from and options available now and I would recommend checking out different sites online... warning, you may want a notepad and lots of time!

These are just a few of the many crystals available, you could spend hours researching types and what energy they carry or health benefits they can assist with. That is why we suggest going with the ones that catch your eye, the ones you feel drawn to, your soul knows what you need and will never steer you wrong. Don't purchase crystals solely off a suggestion or recommendation.... go with the one that feels good for you. Remember this is a guide to give you some basic information on what properties and energy the stones can hold but your experience and what you feel is all that matters in the end. Honestly you cannot go wrong with any crystal as long as your intentions are true.
