How to Choose Your Crystal

Choosing a crystal is a personal and intuitive experience. Whether you’re new to crystals or expanding your collection, the right stone will often “call” to you. Here are a few helpful tips to guide you:

1. Trust Your Intuition

The crystal you’re most drawn to—visually or energetically—is usually the one you need. Let your inner guidance lead the way. Sometimes a crystal will catch your eye or you’ll feel a subtle pull toward it. That’s your intuition speaking.

2. Choose by Intention

Think about what you want to invite into your life—love, protection, healing, abundance, confidence, clarity, etc. Different crystals support different intentions. For example:

Rose Quartz

for love and emotional healing

Amethyst

for peace, intuition, and spiritual growth

Citrine

for abundance and positive energy

Black Tourmaline

for protection and grounding

3. Choose by Chakra

If you're working on a specific energy center in your body, crystals can support that healing:

Root Chakra

(e.g. Red Jasper, Hematite) – grounding and stability

Heart Chakra

(e.g. Rose Quartz, Green Aventurine) – love and compassion

Third Eye Chakra

(e.g. Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli) – insight and intuition Learn more on the

4. Choose by Zodiac Sign

Many people enjoy working with crystals aligned to their astrological sign. Each zodiac has complementary stones that enhance its strengths and balance its challenges.

5. Let the Crystal Choose You

Sometimes the crystal picks you. You may feel heat, a tingling, or a sense of calm when you hold or see it. If something feels right, it probably is.

Tip: Once you’ve chosen your crystal, remember to cleanse it before use and set your intention. This helps align the stone’s energy with your personal goals.
