CRYSTALS

There are so many kinds of crystals around that I cannot fit them all in! So on this page I have included the most commonly found ones and their uses. For further information, check out the Books page.

Cleansing Crystals
Before using any crystal it is important that it is cleansed to remove any vibrations that it may have picked up. Three of the simplest ways to do this are:

Water – Cleanse your crystals under running water for at least one minute and set them in the sun to dry.
Incense – Pass your crystal through the smoke of an incense or smudge stick.
Visualisation – Holding the crystal in your hand and blowing on it gently, imagine that you are clearing all negativity from your crystal.

I often find that a combination of these is also extremely effective.

How to choose a crystal
When choosing crystals for yourself, pick the one that appeals to you the most. This may be because of the colour or purely because you are drawn to it. Whatever the reason, let your intuition guide you to the stone that is right for you.

When picking a stone for someone else, hold that person in mind. If you are unsure of which one to pick, either clear quartz or a rose quartz makes a wonderful gift.

Colours
The colour of a crystal is very important. It relates to different things. In crystal healing the colours are associated with Chakras.
