A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Gem for You- Althaea Soul

Crystals emit positive, uplifting, energizing, and calming vibrations that help you achieve a more peaceful mind and a revitalized physical state of being.

Each crystal is said to have to have a different effect on the mind and body. Crystals’ vibrations are said to arise from the unique way their atoms and molecules move and interact.

Each crystal vibrates at a unique frequency, just like you do from all of the other humans in the world. Once you find those the stones that you vibe with, you just know it.

It is important to be receptive and allow yourself to be drawn to a stone that will have meaning for you.

How to choose a crystal

There are a few ways you can choose a crystal, whether it’s your first or just the latest addition to your collection.

  1. Choose a crystal that you feel drawn to. This is one of our favourite ways because it all comes down to your own intuition! Even when browsing online, pick the crystal that catches your eye. It might have a purpose for you that you don’t even know you need yet.

  2. Choose a crystal based on its meaning.  All of our listings include detailed information on what our crystals are best used for.

  3. Choose a crystal based on what you want more of. For example, if you want more money, choose a crystal that is about abundance and finances. If it’s love you want, choose a stone that is all about attracting love.

  4. Choose what you like. If you are less inclined to believe in the incredible power and energy crystals can bring into your life, and you are just looking for some crystal decorative items or gifts.... that's okay to!

It is okay to buy crystals online?

Absolutely! Because you can't feel the crystals in person, online shopping can seem a little more difficult.

However, you can use the same methods as described above. Instead of using your intuition in person, you can see which crystals you are drawn to first online. This is similiar to long-distance healing practices. Healing energy knows no time or space. 

How to use your crystals

Now that you have a crystal, or two, or 20 (we won't judge) - how do you actually use them?
This comes down to personal preference. Like any spiritual or energetic practice, crystals are best used in a way that feels supportive and healing for you.
To get you started, let’s look at some ways that you can use your crystals.
  • Hold them when you need a little bit of support or reassurance
  • Use them as part of your meditation practice
  • Decorate your space with them - have a couple on your desk, as a centrepiece on a table, use as bookends.... the options are endless!
  • Pop a calming crystal or two into the bottom side of your pillowcase or bedside table
  • Carry a crystal with you throughout the day
  • Use them as an energy cleanser - this might be your own energy, or the energy of tools such as your oracle or tarot cards. They are a great alternative if you can’t light up a smudge stick all the time!
  • Bring positive energy to your decor - at home or your workspace
  • Nestle them with your plants - just make sure that you don’t accidentally water them if they aren’t water-safe crystals
  • Needing a gift? Crystals are perfect, beautiful and thoughtful gifts.
