My rose quartz is my BFF.
Anyone else need all the good vibes they can get right now? Or maybe you just want to trade in your go-to charm necklace for something a little...~vibier~? Fans of crystals say these sparkly rocks vibrate on frequencies that can connect with our own, promoting intelligence, calmness, self-love, and all sorts of other positive qualities. They work like this: The crystal's energy combines with our own vibes, creating a whole new wavelength that has specific qualities. And hey, if you’re not sure about all that, even crystal skeptics have to agree that they’re pretty, right?
Different crystals have different associated properties, and learning about a crystal's properties can help you choose which one you should work with. Like, rose quartz is associated with self-love, love-love, and healing, so it's a great choice to carry with you when you're healing from a breakup and want a confidence boost. On the other hand, amethyst is associated with clarity, understanding, and wisdom, so it's a good crystal to place on your desk for a brain boost.
There are tons of way you can use a crystal: You can wear one on a piece of jewelry, place one on your bedside table, set them throughout your home, meditate with them, put them on an altar, or even carry one with you in your bra. Of course, you can also use them as decor, because everyone has to admit these lil guys are gorgeous.
A note on crystal shopping: There aren't any international regulations on crystal mining, and some crystals on the market have been mined by forced or child labor, or severely impact the environment they're mined from. When you're crystal shopping, avoid crystals that seem suspiciously cheap, and seek out shops that share info on their sourcing practices. If in doubt, you can always ask the retailer where their crystals come from. If they don't know, that's a bad sign. (For more on ethical crystal shopping, read this piece.)
