How to choose a crystal

When you need to purchase a crystal, maybe for healing or as a gift, it can be very useful to have a system for choosing your crystal.

You do not need to know the metaphysical properties of every stone in order to buy one, although knowing this may be helpful.

We recommend 4 ways to select your crystals

1. Intuition

What crystals are you drawn too? What crystals FEEL good to you? If you need to close your eyes and get a strong picture of the crystal in your mind. Ask yourself how does it FEEL? There are always only two possible answers. One, it FEELS good or two it doesn’t feel good. If you are in doubt go without is an old saying and I always trust my feelings when buying crystals.

2. First Sight

Often when you first see a range of crystals one stone will catch your eye and continually draw your attention towards it. This is most likely to be the best crystal for you. Trust your intuition!

3. Sensing

Another great method of buying a crystal requires that you hold the crystal and see if it “vibrates” with you. You can do this both physically, by coming into the shop, or mentally by holding the image of the crystal in your mind. All crystals “vibrate” at their own frequency and some people are sensitive enough to feel these vibrations.

4. Dowsing

Using a pendulum is a simple way to seek answers from your subconscious.  You can hold a pendulum over the crystal and ask “is this crystal of benefit to me?” noting the ‘yes’ or “no” response. To learn more about pendulum dowsing visit www.pendulumdowsing.org
