The Crystal Guide
Everything you need to know about choosing, using, and caring for your crystals — without the overwhelm.
Where to begin
You don't need to know everything. Just start somewhere.
Crystals have been part of human ritual for thousands of years — used for grounding, healing, focus, and intention-setting across cultures and continents. You don't need to be a spiritual expert to work with them. All you need is a little curiosity and an openness to what resonates.
This guide covers the basics: what different crystals are known for, how to use them in everyday life, and how to care for them so they stay at their best. Think of it as a starting point, not a rulebook.
Find your stone
Every stone we carry, in one place
The Crystal Library lists each stone with a photo, what it is traditionally kept for, a guide to read and the pieces to shop.

There's no wrong way. Here are a few right ones.
Wear them
Many people wear a bracelet or necklace to keep their chosen stone close through the day, as a quiet reminder of their intention.
Place them
Put crystals in intentional spots — your desk for focus, your bedroom for calm, your entryway for protection. Let them anchor a space.
Hold them
During meditation, breathwork, or a moment of stillness, hold a stone in your palm. Let its weight be a physical reminder of your intention.
Create a grid
Arrange multiple stones in a geometric pattern to amplify a shared intention. Crystal grids are a beautiful way to work with several stones at once.
Crystal care
Small rituals. Simple care.
We don't cleanse or charge our stones before they ship, so the first ritual is yours if you'd like one. These are the traditional ones, with a few practical notes to keep your stone safe.
Moonlight
Many people leave their crystals on a windowsill under a full moon overnight. It is gentle and safe for almost every stone.
Smoke
Some people pass a crystal through the smoke of dried herbs such as cedar or sage, a tradition found in many cultures.
Sound
Some people ring a singing bowl or a bell near their stones. Nothing touches the stone, so it suits delicate pieces, clusters and larger pieces.
Sunlight
Some people set a stone in soft morning sun for a short time. Keep Amethyst, Rose Quartz, and Citrine out of strong sun, because their color can fade.
Water
Some people rinse hard, undyed loose stones under running water. Keep water away from bracelets on stretch cord, Selenite, Malachite, Pyrite, and any stone under 6 on the Mohs scale.
Intention
Or simply hold your crystal, take a slow breath, and set your intention. Intention alone is always valid.
