|Beginner’s Guide to Crystals|

Hi there Sparkles, it’s Gemma with CrystalCorners, your one-stop-shop for all there is to know about crystals! This post goes out to all my newbies out there who are looking to hone in on their ~good vibrations~ through crystals, which are a great natural way to improve your everyday life! Before I introduced crystals into my world, I was carrying around this weight on my shoulders that was pulling me down. My mind was foggy, blocked, and I was anything but present. And the worst part is, I was never improving myself; I was stuck in the same routine every. Single. Day. But the moment I put some amethyst on my desk, I became a whole new (and better!) version of myself. The amethyst’s healing powers provided great aid in my intuition and awareness, so I was instantly more present, and the weight on my back was lifted. I added some opal to help with my creativity, and away I went! 

If you, my baby Sparkles, are struggling with anything (every soul has something weighing them down), I guarantee that there is a crystal that can help! Crystals have deep roots in Buddhism and Hinduism, and date back to ancient Egyptian times, so you know they’ve got that legit healing power! They can do everything from cleanse your body of toxins, make you more present, boost your mood, and even help manifest success. So without further adieu, here’s a crash course on crystals for all my newbies looking to start their healing journey – or any Sparkles who need to brush up! (And PS - you can find all these babies in my store, link in bio <3)

We’ll start with my favorite and my first love: amethyst! This purple beauty is great for strengthening your intuition and awareness, and also for calming your mind, so if you’re into meditation, definitely get some amethyst to amp up your fav spiritual spot!

Having some opal around can add some brightness to your life. The pretty round stone is known for its balancing powers and the boost of creativity it offers. It can also amplify. No, I don’t know what that means either!!

One of the most popular crystals is rose quartz, and it’s no wonder! The gorgeous pink gem is known for its love properties. This can mean anything from your relationship with your family, friends, or romantic conquests. Long story short, everyone needs a little rose quartz handy!

Make your dreams come true with smoky quartz, which is known to manifest your dreams! But don’t worry about nightmares coming to life, because it’s a protection stone, so it’ll give you allllllll the good stuff while keeping the bad at bay.

Malachite, a blue-green stone, is a real life changer; it will absorb your pain into itself…yeah, for real! It can also give you a renewed sense of self, so you can move past the problems it just helped you with. Of all the crystals on this list, I’d say malachite is a must-buy (shop link in bio).

The black obsidian stone is a great crystal to have if you’re in need of protection, whether it’s from ~bad vibes~, debt, or an assassin! Obsidian can also center and ground you, so it’s a great stone to either wear as jewelry or keep in your bag.

Ever eat something that upset your tummy (see my post on what crystals to eat for perfect health <3)? Having some moonstone nearby will help balance your digestive system, as well as your emotions! Two birds, one moonstone!

If you’re a little tight on cash from buying all these crystals, get some citrine ASAP! The gorgeous golden crystal will be like a ray of sunshine in your life, and it is said to invite success and money to you (a claim that the government doesn’t want you to hear!).

Aaaaaand that’s a wrap on gemstone basics! I hope this guide helps you as you begin your wellness journey. Remember Sparkles, you can find all these crystals and MORE awesome stuff in my shop, link in bio!
