How to Choose Your Crystal

The best way to choose a crystal is to trust your intuition. Browse a collection and notice which stone you're drawn to — often the crystal you need most is the one that catches your eye. You can also choose based on your intention: what area of your life do you want to support right now?

How to Use Your Crystals

• Carry them with you in your pocket or bag to keep their energy close throughout the day
• Wear them as jewellery — our Gemstone Rough Wired Pendants are a beautiful way to keep your crystal on your body
• Place them in your home on windowsills, altars, or beside your bed
• Meditate with them by holding your crystal in your hands and focusing on your intention
• Use a crystal water bottle — our Amethyst & Rose Quartz Water Bottle infuses your water with loving, calming energy

Cleansing Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy, so it's important to cleanse them regularly. You can cleanse your crystals by:

• Smudging them with white sage or palo santo smoke
• Placing them in moonlight overnight (especially during a full moon)
• Burying them in the earth for 24 hours
• Using sound — a singing bowl works beautifully for this. Explore our Singing Bowls collection.
