So but like, aren’t they just pretty rocks? Technically sure, but everything in our world holds an energetic frequency, an inherent vibration, crystals included! Crystals are made up of specific geometric patterns of molecules that maintain their inherent frequency because of those patterns. Different frequencies resonate with our bodies and the energy of our spaces in different ways so you can use various crystals to promote the energetic frequency you’re trying to achieve. Selecting the right crystal for the occasion can be incredibly supportive to your energy or endeavor.
I use crystals daily! In so many ways from support with tarot readings or while meditating to clearing my space and energy. Below are some of my go- to crystals!

Keep me Clean
Most* crystals can be cleaned with water. All crystals can be cleared by the light of the full moon or by burying in the ground or your fav potted plant.
*Selenite and Black Tourmaline are not water safe.
