Crystal Witch
Witches have used crystals for centuries for their energetic properties and healing qualities-inherent magickal powers that can work in different ways to enhance a person's life. https://thingsthatrocksd.com/products/the-crystal-witch?variant=39532642467923
Crystal Witches make the use of crystals to focus their magick for healing and manifesting. Crystals are known for their healing energies. They raise the energy vibration within you. "C rystals emit this unwavering, constant high vibration, that when met with a lower vibration, has the ability to actually raise, in turn, providing a sense of healing qualities through an energetic level, which can therefore fast track our own physical healing."
If you are drawn to nature, crystals, rocks, stones, and color therapy you may be want to study more on Crystal Witches. I use crystals, color candles in my rituals. I guess this makes me a solitary crystal witch.

Where does the use of crystals come from??? Across cultures, different stones can symbolize or provide aide for different things.
In Plato's time they were used for mind reading and transmitting thoughts.
Sumerians used them for magic.
Egyptians used the for jewelry fro metaphysical purposes.
Greeks thought amethyst was hangover remedy.
Native Americans use crystals to assist in diagnosing illnesses.
Europe healing powers of crystals persisted into the Middle Ages.
The most ancient writings that mention crystal include the accounts of the Roman historian Pliny the Elder, who described different precious stones, their origins and physical qualities. The word “crystal” comes from the Greek krystallos , literally meaning “coldness drawn together,” or a kind of ice.
In looking for a crystal it is helpful to touch them & feel them. I use this method to choose my crystals - when I touch & hold the crystal if it warms and then sends a tingling feeling through my hand then I obtain it. I use crystals in my rituals and feats day celebrations.

There are some crystals that should not be used together since their vibrations are counter productive.

- Blue Lace Agate and Red Jasper.
- Clear Quartz and Green Aventurine.
- Sunstones and stones that are associated with Saturn and Venus.

Sometimes it is comforting just to carry a stone with me. Right now I am taking an amethyst with me for it's calming influence.
Crystals are pretty & useful (at least in my opinion).

The aquamarine is my birthstone.
I love that color. It is a cleansing crystal and I use it around Ostara for cleansing the house (along with normal spring cleaning).
My ex-wife was a qualified yoga instructor and was aware of the use of crystals in feng shui. The house we lived in had a view straight through from the front door to the back door and windows, and so she hung a crystal part way through to prevent positive energy and wealth from flowing right through and out the back.
Good idea. I use black tourmaline to dispel negative energy and then carnelian to keep the positive flowing.
Great information, Veronica.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks for the article. My birthstone is amethyst. I've always liked that stone. When I choose jewelry I like to stick with stones and crystals.
Mine too.... I think that is why I am so drawn to it.
The luck thing is curious, since luck is so random to begin with. Curious if there are any types of crystal thought to attract bad luck.
During the black plague opals were considered to be bad luck. Pearls were also considered to attract bad luck. In those days since turquoise was used in alchemy and necromancy people thought it had become tainted with evil and was bad luck.
For me if I am not getting a positive vibe off of one of my crystals I cleanse it by the full moon and it feels better. I myself have never come across any crystal that brought me bad luck.
diamonds.
Lol! Good point.
I have never been a fan of diamonds. I like color.
