The world of Crystals is a vast and mysterious one- it’s easy to understand how it could feel intimidating or overwhelming for those new to this realm. While I believe there isn’t really a right or wrong way to choose a crystal- here is a little guide on different ways to choose stones for you or loved ones:

By Color- choosing crystals can be as simple as selecting the ones that are your favorite colors or matching/complimenting them to the colors in the space they will live in (bedroom, office, living room, etc.). Love pink? Perhaps Rose quartz or Kunzite are just what you want. By Intuition- is there a stone that catches your eye more than others or that you feel strongly pulled to? Let your intuition guide you in choosing the perfect stone- often the stones we are drawn to have the exact healing properties needed. Some believe it’s really the stones that choose us! Trust your inner guidance. By Metaphysical Properties- crystals each carry their own unique healing energy. You can choose crystals by these properties to receive the specific healing energy you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a crystal to help with sleep, you may look at stones such as Lepidolite or Amethyst. There are numerous Crystal books and websites that break down A Beginner’s Guide to Choosing Crystals the properties of each stone to help you find the healing energy you are looking for. By Zodiac Signs or Elements- certain stones are attributed to your birth month/zodiac sign and different elements. If you are a Taurus or your birthday is in May- stones like Emerald, Sapphire or Agate are what to look for. If you want to connect to the energy of the elements, like Water for instance- you’ll want to look at stones like Larimar, Aquamarine, or Amazonite. We can help you determine what the stones are for each month/zodiac/element. Let the experience of choosing crystals be a nourishing and fun one- we are happy to assist you in finding exactly what you are looking for or what wants to choose you.
