+ CRYSTALS

The term ‘natural gemstone’ refers to the polished form of minerals & crystals found in nature. Gemstones are divided into smaller subcategories based on type; with various “species” that include stones with common qualities. These stones have an identical chemical structure & are often divided into different varieties based on factors like color or transparency. For example, crystals such as Moonstone appear to have a cloudy, bluish-white light, while Opal (another “white” stone) tends to have a “play-of-color,” with hints of rainbow flashes.

FUN FACT: The gemstone species with the largest variety of different gemstones linked to it is Quartz.

use direct sunlight to charge your stones to “work” for you. Set your intentions & leave them for a minimum of 16 hrs. Some gemstones like rose quartz & citrine fade with over exposure to the sun, so if in doubt charge your gemstones with moonlight instead.

The water method requires you to fill glass with water & allow your gemstone to soak for 1-24 hrs. Gemstones like calcite, selenite, & opal should NOT be exposed to water. keep in mind, Salt water can be damaging to many crystals.

If in doubt, smoke it out ! Sage & Santo Palo are well known ways to clear your stones for new intentions & positive vibrations. There is power in numbers such as using circles of 7.
