I’ve been on a personal spiritual journey for a while now and have fallen in love with crystals and their different properties along the way. I initially started with tumble stones and small clusters, only recently have I started to grow my collection with a few bigger or carved (display) pieces, the crystal addiction is real! Throughout my journey I have expanded my knowledge and understanding of various crystals, also learning there is sooooo many different types within various crystal families. I thought I would share some of my current favourites to work with (in no particular order), although it is constantly changing, these have been my go-to’s recently.
Celestite
Celestite crystals can be found in Egypt, Madagascar, Mexico, Poland, and the UK. It presents a calming and peaceful energy which can help to relax the mind and unwind, encouraging a natural state of joy. It is the perfect crystal to keep on the bedside table, and that is exactly where I keep mine, as it helps with a peaceful nights sleep and positive dreams. Since I brought my Celestite cluster and have it placed on my bedside table, my sleeping pattern has been a lot more structured, even during a retrograde the dreams and broken sleep is far less frequent. Celestite is a high vibrational crystal which makes it great for relieving stress and anxieties, it does this by transitioning the body and mind into a state of peaceful awareness. It is commonly associated with divinity and the higher consciousness, and connecting with the Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and the Crown Chakra.
Associated with Venus and Neptune
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz can be found in many different places such as Madagascar, Brazil, India, the US, and many more. It is a popular crystal which promotes self-love, deepening relationships, embracing kindness, and expressing compassion. Rose Quartz is commonly known as a crystal of love and connects to the Heart Chakra, it helps to encourage passions and improve overall happiness. There are different types of Rose Quartz such as Star Rose Quartz and Lavender Rose, both with additional properties. I was particularly lucky to find a Star Lavender Rose Quartz Sphere (bit of a long one to say) from my favourite crystal supplier, and for a really good price! Although it is not a deep lavender, it has more of a lavender hue compared to general Rose Quartz and gives off a lovely aura.
Associated with Venus
Labradorite
Labradorite was originally discovered in Labrador in Canada and that is where its name originates from, it is also sourced from Madagascar, Mexico, Russia, the US, and some other places. It contains uplifiting and inspiring properties which can increase motivation and encourage its user to reach their set goals, perfect for intention setting and manifesting. Labradorite is great for all the Chakras however, it is specifically good for the Crown Chakra, uplifiting the mind and spirit to a higher level of consciousness. Due to its flashy persona and uplifting energy, Labradorite can help with depression and helps to guide its users out of the darkness to a lighter, more positive mental space. I love Labradorite, especially when the sunlight hits it egniting all of its colour, I have my Lab’ heart placed on my desk to help me stay postive and motivated while working.
Associated with Uranus & the Moon
Mangano Calcite
Mangango Calcite is up there as one of my favourite crystals because it gives off such a calming and peaceful energy, it is UV light reactive and turns a fluorescent pink which is rather cool! It was discovered in Slovakia but can be found in Romania, Peru, Bulgaria, Mexico, Madagascar, Russia, Australia, and Japan. Mangano Calcite has harmonizing energy which helps to bring forth feelings of inner peace, allowing the user to become more familiar with their true self. It is great for promoting compassion, love, joy, and contains self-healing vibrations which helps to dispell negative-filled emotions. Mangano Calcite is a comforting crystal and can be linked to the Heart Chakra, I personally like to place my tower infront of me whilst meditating as you can really feel the grounding energy it gives off.
Associated with the Earth & Venus
BLUE ARAGONITE
Blue Aragonite can be found in Austria, Greece, Mexico, Morocco, and China. The Blue Aragonite Sphere is my most recent purchase, and I know I’ve probably said this already about the others but, it has definitely got to be my favourite crystal as it reminds me of a water planet, I could get lost in the patterns for ages! It can be used to clear negative energy, help with communication, and vocalizing your feelings. Blue Aragonite can be linked to the Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, and Third-Eye Chakra by presenting a balancing and transformative energy. It helps with relaxation in the body and mind with its overall calming and soothing properties. I could personally look at this crystal for hours, it has an enchanting feeling and the druzy areas add to its character.
Associated with the Earth
CITRINE
Citrine was one of the first crystals I started my collection with, they can be found in Africa, Brazil, Madagascar, France, Russia, Spain, the US, and Scotland. It is a very popular crystal which can be used to enchance creativity and assist in manifestation, it has a warm and joyful energy. Citrine is one of the few crystals thats doesn’t need to be cleansed regularly, it is also known as the Merchants stone because it is great for acquiring and maintaining wealth. Its properties are perfect for success, encouraging generosity, and joy. Citrine can be linked to the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, and Third Eye Chakras.
Associated with the Sun
PHOSPHOSIDERITE
So, while I was in the middle of writing this I was also watching a crystal live on Instagram, and yes I made a purchase, I just couldn’t help myself (as per usual). Phosphosiderite is a rare crystal because it is typically only mined twice a year. It can be found in Peru, Chile, Portugal, and Germany, and is quite powerful. It possesses soothing and supportive energies which can help with creativity, boosting confidence, and help with concentration. Phosphorsiderite brings balance, stability, hope and happiness. It helps to release stress with soothing and calming energies which makes this crystal perfect for aiding sleep and positive dreams.
Update: I’ve had this placed on my bedside for a while now and my sleep pattern has improved and I am actually sleeping like a baby, I would definitely recommend source a piece for your collection!
Association Unknown
My crystal addiction is real and these are just my current top favourites which is bound to change around, I could talk crystals for days and will be happily adding more to my collection over time! I have to admit that Phosphosiderite has the top spot for me as it is just so pretty and its energy is equally beautiful.
