Choosing a Crystal
Precious and semi-precious stones - crystals - belong to the mineral family and have always been fascinating primarily due to their visual attraction, interplay of colours and transparency. Stone and crystals in general have always been around us; long before the appearance of man on the planet, crystals have had a presence here, forming and developing as the earth stabilised and became what it is today.
Amid the great number of crystals that are available, it might be difficult for you to choose the right crystal. Here are some points you should be consider before making up your mind.
You can choose a crystal by taking into account the crystal's beauty, colour or functionality. Later on, you may select your crystal according to the particular features that offer a solution to some problem you would like to address or in view of the characteristic traits you would like to acquire in the future.
You can select your crystal randomly and intuitively provided that you have trust in your own intuition. Some crystals feel like they stick to your fingers or you can feel a sense of vibration in some particular way. Other crystals may simply bring joy to your heart and you can feel the thrill as you hold them in your hands; in these cases you have indeed found the right crystal or gemstone for you.
You can combine aesthetic and useful qualities, if you choose a necklace, pendant or any other type of jewellery that can at the same time improve your health or attract the quality that you wish to acquire. Crystals can protect you, attract love, increase creativity; they can also expand your visualization and imagination, strengthen concentration and aid to your mental abilities. Crystals and jewellery will also deepen your intuition, revive your suppressed memories, help you to heal yourself, and lead you to greater enlightenment.
Size doesn’t matter; the size of the gemstone or crystal need not be a decisive factor in determining the right one for you since even small pieces can be extremely beneficial. Have in mind that rough crystals in their natural shape and condition may not be as visually attractive, but nevertheless they can be as powerful and energetically strong as the faceted, tumbled or polished ones and rough minerals are needless to say usually less expensive.
