How to Choose the Right Crystal for You

When it comes to choosing a crystal to wear, keep in your purse or set around your office space and home—you need to choose wisely! There are so many incredible crystals that are beautiful and give powerful energy. When choosing a crystal, it’s important to use your gut and intuition; hold one in your hand, or against your chest keeping your eyes closed to asses how it makes you feel.

If you go to a crystal shop and start reading the cards first, before ever looking and touching a crystal, you most likely will feel overwhelmed. Remember, everyone is drawn to a crystal either for its color or cosmic energy, so be receptive to that! My suggestion is not to buy a crystal purely on your birthstone because that doesn’t necessarily serve your current purpose. Instead, focus your attention on choosing a stone based on your wants and needs. Whether you’re looking amplify courage, self-betterment, love, or forgiveness—trust and believe that the right gemstone is out there.

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is often called the stone of “Unconditional Love.” It is said to be a stone that helps stabilize emotions like anxiety and/or fear, dissolve confusion and assist in drawing harmony with oneself and others. Promoting self-worth and attracting love, rose quartz may help improve energy flow and circulation, allowing us to see things objectively and helping choose a more positive approach.

Amethyst

Amethyst is one of the most popular stones around the world. It’s known to be an all-purpose stone. Acknowledged to have calming properties, it has the ability to purify and transmute all forms of negativity. Promoting peace-of-mind, it may be used for protection and purification, the Amethyst stone was worn in history by royalty to signify power. Amethyst is said to help children in the midst of a transition, such as parents going to work, a move, and even a death in the family. Amethyst has also shown to help with nightmares or insomnia.

Citrine

Citrine is known as the “Success Stone” typically associated with financial improvements. Citrine is said to promote mental focus and clarity. Helping provide comfort, it supports digestion and metabolism. Citrine may stimulate optimism and decisiveness, assisting in the manifestation of your own reality. Citrine might be able to draw abundance with mental focus. Meaning, you can manifest your own reality, allowing you to live in the moment and make your young dreams possible.

Staying calm and being optimistic will help guide you in the journey to finding your stone. Just how friendships grow when you meet and have a conversation with someone, the same goes for your relationship with your stone friends.
