Crystal Grids & Feng Shui

(Clean, gallery-style layout that emphasizes clarity and focus.) Theme: “White Space & Reset” Placement Concept: • Center of a shelf, desk, or altar-like surface as a visual “reset button.” • Presentation: On a simple stand, coaster, or slab with plenty of empty space around it. • Shape Layout: Points or towers arranged in a simple line or plus-sign to suggest direction and order. • Lighting: Near a window or lamp where light can pass through and cast small reflections. • Avoid: Overcrowding; clear quartz reads best with strong negative space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about crystals and minerals
  • Healing crystals are natural minerals believed to promote physical and emotional well-being through their unique energetic properties. Each crystal vibrates at specific frequencies that may interact with the body's energy field, supporting balance and harmony in various aspects of life.
  • Trust your intuition when selecting crystals—you'll often feel drawn to the ones you need most. Consider your current intentions, whether it's stress relief, creativity, or emotional healing, and research which crystals align with those goals. Many people also choose based on chakra associations or simply by which crystal they find most visually appealing.
  • Cleanse your crystals regularly using methods like moonlight, sunlight (avoid for light-sensitive stones), sage smoke, or running water. To charge them, place crystals under the full moon, on a selenite charging plate, or set clear intentions while holding them. Regular cleansing removes absorbed energies and restores their natural vibration.
  • The Mohs hardness scale measures a mineral's resistance to scratching, ranging from 1 (softest, like talc) to 10 (hardest, like diamond). This scale helps determine how durable a crystal is and guides proper care—softer stones require gentler handling and should be stored separately to prevent damage.
  • Yes, you can combine crystals with complementary energies to amplify your intentions. Start with 2-3 stones that share similar properties or support related goals. Pay attention to how the combination feels—if you experience overwhelm or discomfort, reduce the number or choose stones with gentler energies.
  • Authentic crystals have natural imperfections, variations in color, and feel cool to the touch initially. Be wary of perfectly uniform colors or patterns, unusually low prices, or stones that feel lightweight like plastic. Purchase from reputable sellers who provide information about origin and can answer questions about their sourcing practices.
  • Chakras are seven energy centers in the body, each associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Crystals are often matched to chakras by color and energetic properties—for example, amethyst for the crown chakra or rose quartz for the heart chakra. Using corresponding crystals can help balance and activate these energy centers.
