Crystals: Types Of Crystal Gemstones

Crystal 37
So we are ready to add some crystals to our home and rituals. There are four types of crystals to choose from: raw or rough crystals, clusters and geodes, slices, and points or wands.
 
Raw or rough crystals are the crystals that come straight from the earth. They are rough and rocky and crystals such as rose quartz or amethyst are often found in this form. When left in their natural state, some people believe we connect with them more deeply. They give off a gentle and diffused energy that have a positive effect on a space or even an emotional state.
 
Clusters and geodes are visually stunning stones. They usually feature a hollow formation that is filled with crystals. These types of crystals have powerful frequencies and send out a wonderful calming and purifying energy in a space. This is a popular choice for both its power and beauty.
 
Slices are when a gemstone is cut into a thin piece that is then polished. With this type of crystal we really enjoy the inner beauty of the crystal. These types of crystals are perfect for decoration and adding a peaceful energy to the space.
 
Wands or points are often used as a healing tool. They are excellent energy transmitters. Quartz is one of the crystals often found as a wand or point and is known for its purifying and cleansing qualities.
 
There is no right of wrong choice when choosing which type of crystal to add to our collection. More than anything, the most important thing is our connection to the stone. If possible hold the crystal in our hand and close our eyes to tap into intuitive feelings about the stone. If we are choosing the crystal online we may close our eyes and envision the stone in our mind’s eye and note what feelings and sensations come to us. As long as we always trust our intuition, the right crystal will find us.
 

Crystals: How To Make A Gemstone Elixir

To make a crystal elixir, place the gemstone of choice in a glass jar of water and leave it outside for at least twenty four hours to soak up the sun and moon’s healing life force. If you do not have twenty four hours to soak the crystal it is preferable to leave the elixir out in the sun for as long as we can. Unless the moon is full, the sun tends to charge water faster.
 
The idea is that when we drink the elixir it will cause physical shifts in the body as it heals our own molecular structure as it aligns it more closely with the energy of the crystal.
 
When making a gemstone elixir always be sure to use purified or distilled water. It is also important to only use a glass jar and plastic one because chemicals from plastic clean leach out into your elixir.
 
Some other tips are to research the crystal you plan on using your elixir beforehand and making sure it is an insoluble stone. Quartz is commonly used in elixirs and many people describe feeling an almost immediate charge after drinking a quartz elixir.
 
This is a really healing and restorative ritual to add to our life. Feel free to experiment.
