Choosing a crystal is an intuitive process where we must primarily listen to ourselves. There are two ways of choosing, and which one we use is up to each individual.

We can choose intuitively, without considering its properties. We call this being "called" by the crystal. Our intuition chooses it, so we can't forget about it, we keep thinking about it, and we can't explain why we're so drawn to it.

The second approach is more deliberate, as we choose the crystal based on desired properties. Therefore, we're presenting the most popular crystals or crystal groups that attract many people due to their characteristics, especially those who are just getting to know them.

We must first ask ourselves why we want a crystal and define our purpose. Do we want to boost self-confidence or need help with meditation? Perhaps we want to calm our nerves or open our heart to love? The possibilities are endless, and there's energetic support in crystal form for everything.

Clear Quartz

This is also an umbrella term for the largest crystal family on Earth, as we know many variations of this crystal. Its main characteristics are a stable vibrational core, numerous shapes and colors, and structure varying from extremely dense microcrystals to larger ones visible to the naked eye.

The color is added by the presence of different minerals and traces of various elements, and the crystal can also be enriched with metal. All quartz crystals generally cleanse and strengthen energies while working in harmony with the person using them.

They also balance our bioenergetic field and stimulate the immune system, while harmoniously affecting the chakras. We use it primarily for healing, communication, and manifestation, as its stable composition retains energy longer than many other crystals. It also removes energetic disturbances, including psychological patterns we've outgrown, which is excellent for meditation and manifestation.

Amethyst

One of the most popular crystals is this purple variety of quartz. It's suitable for healing hidden illnesses and calming thoughts. It's excellent as a tool for reducing stress, helps strengthen memory, motivation, and positively affects decision-making ability.

It dispels compulsive behaviors and obsessions that lead to various addictions, while helping to neutralize anger, fear, rage, and anxiety, and provides comfort during times of grief. In ancient Greece, they believed amethyst was effective against drunkenness, which is why they often made chalices from it.

Rose Quartz

This heart chakra crystal is known for its pink hue, carries unconditional love and acceptance, and brings deep emotional healing. It improves our relationship with ourselves and brings inner love, which is essential for any other form of love.

Rose quartz helps us establish healthy boundaries in relationships and provides a space where our loved ones can be authentic and honest. We can use it when we need to firmly but lovingly say "no", and it also helps overcome addictions, obsessions, and self-harm. It helps us in cases of heartbreak, as it attracts harmonious relationships.

Citrine

The bringer of prosperity and wealth reminds us that abundance is simply a worldview through which we attract friendship, joy, and material goods.

It encourages us to be grateful for what we already have and motivates us to share our wealth with others. Its vibrant, bright energy raises our self-confidence and helps ward off depression. It overcomes apathy and hopelessness and stimulates our mind to see new opportunities.

Citrine is a self-cleansing crystal, but we can still help it with additional cleansing.

Tiger's Eye

It embodies vitality. It's intended for all who want to take control of their personal power and overcome emotional blockages. With its direct, encouraging energy, it also helps attract wealth into life. It helps in transforming toxic emotions into more favorable ones, finding better perspectives in life's challenges, and overcoming fear.

Tiger's Eye helps us live more courageously and take risks when necessary. The healing powers of this crystal come from solar and earth energy, meaning it both inspires and grounds us.

Tourmaline

It strongly affects the mood and wellbeing of the person using it. It's best known for its protective properties, as it protects the user from negative energy attacks. It emits infrared rays and negative ions, which improves immune system function and helps with body detoxification.

Negative ions calm and stimulate body and psyche, making tourmaline excellent for grounding spiritual energy. It also cleanses and balances chakras while acting as protection. Due to its composition, it increases energy flow, stimulating healing and removing blockages. We know many varieties of tourmaline, each with its specific healing abilities.

When choosing your first crystals, it's best to listen to your intuition, as it never lies. Let yourself be called and let it take you on a magical journey of discovering the enchantment of crystals.
