Crystals for beginners
This topic was created in the Metaphysical forum by CuddleBug88 on Thursday, April 13, 2017 and has 11 replies.
I'm fairly (like 97 percent) sure that there's a topic or two about this already but I've been getting into crystals lately. I haven't bought any yet because some financial ish...but I plan to start building a collection. I've alway been into rocks, gems, etc.
My question is what would you reccomend as a sort of universal base to start with? Is there even a universal answer or is it more of "pick what draws your attention first" thing?

It's best to choose crystals based off your energy. They are a spirtual tool... and its best to pick your tools that you will feel comfortable working with.
As for a base stone, honestly people might give you different answers, but again whatever you'd like. It's recommended to at least include one stone or gem, that specialize in positive energy, clear quartz is a good one, most common.. but there are several others.
Also remember to cleanse your crystals, clearing the energy after using them. You can do this several ways, sunlight, moonlight etc..

You can't really go wrong with Amethyst or Quartz..but the above poster was right it depends on your energy as well,just feel your way around them..the right one will make its presence known for whatever reason you may need it at that time.
Hematite is the one you should start with.
As you begin to explore with crystals, you're going to find the energies hard to maintain, considering they all have different properties.
Hematite is a grounding stone, which works to keep all other energies in check ... even yours.
Look it up !!! Every shaman, faith healer, or all ordinary oracles who are building their alters for offerings have hematite as their baseline. Most even wear this stone on their person at all times, because it wards off unwanted energies coming from other people.
there are lots of books out there as well - use the library as a reference to get started - all of the above is good info - you can also purchase small rough stones or polished for a reasonable price
"The crystals aren't working!!"
Posted by tctaThere used to be a place in town that sold books and stones/minerals/crystals/etc...I should go see if they still do.

and you can always google for information ...
Posted by tctaYeah, I wasn't thinking of going with the intention to buy any old stone. I'm a touchy-feely person - I'm always touching everything when I'm in a store lol. I gotta check it out right.Posted by CuddleBug88of course - don't go to "buy" just go to see / touch the stones - it's always a lovely adventure !Posted by tctaThere used to be a place in town that sold books and stones/minerals/crystals/etc...I should go see if they still do.
