How to read a crystal's metaphysical properties
In crystal practice every stone has a job. Amethyst is the calm stone, black tourmaline the boundary stone, citrine the merchant's stone. Each also belongs to one of the seven chakras, the energy centres from the base of the spine to the crown. And each has an element: earth for steadiness, water for feeling, fire for drive, air for clear thought. 🔮
Are the crystal benefits real? People who wear rose quartz through a hard month keep coming back for the next one, and we side with them.

FAQs
What are the healing properties of crystals?
In crystal tradition each stone carries a quality you can borrow. Amethyst is for calm, rose quartz for love, black tourmaline for protection, citrine for abundance. Clear quartz amplifies whatever you set beside it. The guide above gives that quality for 47 stones, with its chakra and element.
How do I know which crystal is right for me?
Start with the need, not the stone. Press the button for what you want more of and the finder lists the stones that carry that job. Then trust your hands. The one you keep picking up is usually the right one.
Which crystal should a beginner start with?
Most people start with one of four. Amethyst by the bed, rose quartz near the heart, black tourmaline by the door, or clear quartz on the desk. Between them they cover calm, love, protection and focus.
What if my stone is not in the guide?
Pick the closest cousin. Most jaspers behave like red jasper, most agates like agate, and any quartz starts from clear quartz. Or bring the stone into the shop and we will look at it with you.
