![]() A very small number wrote some excellent books. A small number of people started to meditate with crystals and compare notes. ![]() There's a long history of humans working with crystals, but the recent reawakening really took off about 50 years ago. Thirdly, the whole field of 'expertise' in the field of crystals is confusing. (Increasingly I forget the latter, but if I have forgotten I'll tell you!) Ask how you can cleanse it and if it is easily scratched or sensitive to light. iron, silicon, sulphur and where the crystal came from. The physicality of a crystal embodies the crystal spirit, and is an expression of that, and at the very least it will inform you about whether your crystal will be damaged by cleansing it in water or salt.Īsk what the crystal is made of, e.g. This is no less imbalanced than having a total focus on the material plane and excluding spirit. Intuition and feelings are considered to be 'spiritual’ and somehow superior. I meet many people who do not want to know about the physicality of their stones and crystals. Sadly the 'New Age' has birthed as much utter rubbish as gold - and one example is where there is an emphasis on moving away from the body/Earth. Any true awakening has to be good - one might say imperative for our future on Planet Earth. Secondly, the massive increase in the 'spiritual market' again has both positives and negatives.

Ask what the seller’s experience is. ![]() I usually don't have the heart to say that it's cheap because it is very poor quality or even not what it claims to be at all. Occasionally this does happen, but it's rare. I often get people showing me crystals they've bought from eBay, or other sources, 'for a great price'. Since it is becoming increasingly normalised and acceptable to lie, there’s no reason not to - especially when profit can be made. To me, as a crystal healer and teacher of many years, it's great to see that more and more people are turning to Mother Nature to take charge of their own healing.īut we live in a profit driven society and many people have seen this surge of interest as an easy way to make money with little or no foundation to build on - no idea of what a crystal is made of or how it is formed, where it comes from, whether it is hard or will scratch easily, whether it is toxic, whether it is good or poor quality, what the energetic properties are. ![]() So - back to ‘it being hard to know what we are getting out there’ - there are several reasons why it can be difficult to know which crystal information is reliable.įirstly, there's been another huge surge of interest in crystals in recent years.
