How To Pick Out The Right Crystal For You

Whether you are new to crystals or are a long time crystal aficionado, the quest for the right crystal is highly personal and a very important task.

But with all of the options out there, how do you pick out the right one for you?

Fortunately, it's not as hard as you would expect. Just follow these three simple guidelines and the right crystal will be in your hands in no time.

Go With Your Gut Feelings

First things first when it comes to crystals. You gotta go with your gut feeling. You will feel utterly drawn to the right crystal.

Now, it's easy to be drawn to every crystal. And trust me, that is a thing. But the one that is meant to come home with you will stand out.

How?

Simple, you will feel it not just physically, but emotionally. You won't want to put it down. That happened to me once with a larvikite. I wasn't familiar with this stone before I saw this larvikite wand amongst rows and rows of other crystals.

Like a moth to a flame, I went for it. First, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. And then, I didn't want to put it down.

I immediately felt grounded holding it. And I did actually put it down. Contemplating if I really wanted it. Actually, I knew I wanted it, but the frugal side of me was contemplating if I wanted to spend the money on it.

In the end, it was a silly question. Of course I bought the larvikite. And I was introduced to another beautiful crystal.

Do Some Research

If you want a crystal ally for a certain reason, then it's important to know what the crystal will do. Sometimes you will feel drawn to a certain crystal not realizing the attributes associated with it. Other times, you may have a need you want a crystal to help with.

For example, maybe you suffer from insomnia and want a crystal to help. Upon doing some research you discover amethyst has been known to help with getting some zzs. 

Or in reverse, you may feel drawn to amethyst and then you research what amethysts are thought to help with and discover they are known to ease insomnia.

 See how that works?

Let The Crystal Find You

Much like that larvikite was calling to me, the right crystal may call out to you. You just have to be open to receiving the message.

Since crystals are associated with helping certain ailments and corresponding to chakras and assisting there, some people think that crystals have a consciousness, if you will. Much like an animal may be drawn to a person, a crystal may be drawn to you as well.

Think of it like love at first sight. If you don't believe it will happen with another human being, it just may happen with a crystal.
