Crystal tips : Starting out on your crystal journey

People have been fascinated by crystals and their amazing  properties for centuries.  Crystals have been:

• used throughout history as protective amulets by ancient civilisations such as the Vikings and  Romans,
• used in ceremonies by shamans,
• and they've been crushed and used for medicinal purposes by the ancient Egyptians.

Over recent years the popularity of crystals has increased with more and more people taking an interest in alternative therapies.  Celebrities have been talking about using crystals and they've even been featuring in films & TV series such as The Shannara chronicles and computer games like minecraft.  They've become more fashionable with teenagers and children as well.

There is  such a huge range of crystal types, shapes and sizes and at varying prices, it can be confusing to know which to go for especially  if you are just starting out.

For those of you who are interested and want to start working with crystals I'd recommend  tumbled crystals.  These stones are small, smooth, polished, readily available and the cheapest option to begin your collection with. 

Don't be put off by their size , the fact that  they are smaller doesn't diminish the properties of the crystals.  They are still effective and they can be easily carried in your pockets, purse or even in your underwear!

When you are choosing your crystal, pick it  up, hold it in your hand and see which feels most comfortable to you. 

Usually  in crystal shops there is a little bit of information about the crystal properties. When you read it don’t be surprised if you find that there is a reason that you were drawn to the energy of that particular stone.
