Crystal Types

SHAPED

These crystals have been cut and polished into shapes such as pyramids, points, wands, animals, or spheres. Depending on the cut, the energy of the crystals can be amplified. These are typically used as decoration, anchor points for gridding, alters, and other similar uses. They’re also great to keep at your work space. Depending on the properties of the crystal, they can cleanse, energize, protect, or calm an atmosphere. Points draw off or pull in energy when pointed out or in towards the body. Spheres emit energy smoothly and evenly in all directions (think balance and harmony), pyramids are great for sending energy back into the universe (good anchor point), towers/pillars/points are also great manifestation tools and similar to pyramids can help direct intentions into the universe, and cubes are associated with the physical realm / root chakra which typically help you connect with earth energy.

RAW

These crystals are unpolished and typically uncut. They literally look raw. They are good for enriching a rooms atmosphere, for holding during meditation or simply carrying in your medicine bag (not so great to keep in your pocket since they may have sharp edges!). They’re also great to keep at your work space. Depending on the properties, they can cleanse, energize, protect, or calm an atmosphere.

TUMBLED

Arguably the most common and popular form, these stones, rocks or crystals have been tumbled over each other many times until the sides become smooth and shiny. Many people like to carry a crystal tumbles around in their pockets (or in their bra) to keep the energy of the stone with them throughout the day. They are also the most common in jewelry. They’re also great to keep at your work space. Depending on the properties, they can cleanse, energize, protect, or calm an atmosphere. Round shapes emit energy equally all around. Square shapes consolidate energy. Egg shapes focus and discharge energy.

CLUSTER

Clusters are a group of small crystals that have naturally grown together. They are good for enriching a rooms atmosphere or workplace. Depending on the properties, they can cleanse, energize, protect, or calm an atmosphere. These radiate energy in all directions equally but also at a high frequency. Geodes are often in cluster form - they amplify, conserve and slowly release energy.

SINGLE & DOUBLE TERMINATED

These have a single or double point and are usually referred to as a wand. They are commonly used in energy healing practices, clearing and meditation. Depending on the properties, they can cleanse, energize, protect, or calm an atmosphere. These emit energy in one or two directions. Anything with a point is used as a generator and to direct energy / amplify energy (great for manifesting). DT points specifically are powerful for moving stuck energy.
