Does anyone else need all the good vibes possible? Or maybe you just want to trade in your charm necklace for something a little…~vibier~? Crystal fans say these shimmering rocks vibrate at frequencies that can connect to our own, promoting intelligence, calm, self-love, and all sorts of other positive qualities. They work like this: the energy of the crystal combines with our own vibrations, creating a whole new wavelength that has specific qualities. And hey, if you’re not sure about any of that, even crystal skeptics have to agree that they’re beautiful, right?
You can use a crystal in many ways: you can wear one on jewelry, place one on your bedside table, place them throughout your home, meditate with them, place them on your altar, and even take one with you. . your bra. Of course, you can also use them as decor, because even skeptics have to admit that these little guys are gorgeous.
A note on buying crystals: There are no international regulations on crystal mining, and some crystals on the market have been mined by forced or child labor, or have a serious impact on the environment in which they are extracted. When buying crystals, avoid crystals that seem oddly cheap and look for stores that share information about their sourcing practices. If in doubt, you can always ask the retailer where their crystals come from. If they don’t know, it’s a bad sign. (For more on ethical crystal shopping, read this article.)
