Hello everyone! Welcome back to our crystal series. I know many of you may have questions when it comes to using crystals. So whether you are just beginning your work with crystals, are curious to how to use crystals to benefit you or are looking for crystals for a specific purpose, I am here to help! For those of you just starting out, this is the perfect post for you! I am going to be talking about some great crystals for beginners. (I mean hey, we all need to start somewhere right?)

Ready? Let’s go!
Crystals come in a variety of colors and no two crystals are exactly the same. When looking to select a crystal, listen to your intuition. Seriously go with the one you are drawn to first, more than likely that crystal you are drawn to has something you need. Don’t believe me? Ask my business partner Alexa…..”Ok I do need to interject here, I do have to agree with him. The first time he showed me any crystals at all, he told me just to pick one. Well I tend to be a very anxious person most of the time and at this point in time, I just felt wound up all the time, anyway I picked up this purple stone with no clue to what is was or what it did and low and behold, it was an amethyst which is known to be an anti stress and calming stone. If you’re still skeptical he had me pick another stone with some sort of symbol on it. Again he just told me to pick the one that called to me. And guess what, the symbol I picked represented...yup that's right folks, Amethyst. So just trust your intuition and you are almost guaranteed to find what you need.”

​ I’m back! Let’s get right into this list of the best crystals for beginners. Keep in mind, the stones on this list are relatively easy to find. If you are not sure where to look and you are in the area, stop in the store and we’d be happy to help you! (Come on did you really think I wasn’t going to mention our store?)
