Do you like pretty rocks? I do, and I am here to guide you into the crystal world. Crystals have been used as healing and energy sources for centuries in many different countries around the world. Crystal healing is defined as a type of alternative therapy that involves using gemstones to bring balance to an individual’s life and mind. I personally love crystals because they make me feel peaceful and energized. I find the crystal community educating and exciting! I love the history of crystal healing and the new people I meet at crystal stores. Hearing about other people’s spiritual journeys excites me. During 2020 I started many new fixations like cake baking and intense organizing. I also started learning about and collecting crystals. I thought they were beautiful, and I wanted to learn more about them. As I have grown my collection, I have also grown my knowledge. In this article I will be telling you about my favorite crystals and what the meaning behind them is.
