People often come into the store and say they are new to crystals and ask “Which Crystal should I choose? “ With over 100 different crystals in store it can be quite overwhelming.
I say the easiest way to choose a crystal is to choose what you are drawn to.
Crystals have many properties and strengths and you might not even know why you are drawn to it but it will have something that you need at that particular time in your life. There is no right or wrong way to choose your crystals.
You can also choose crystals by their healing properties, or the Chakra you want to balance.
