10 Crystals You Should Add To Your Collection
Crystals are said to have special healing benefits that can help draw out negative energy. There are so many types of crystals, and each one has unique properties. Whether you are just getting into crystals, or already have a collection, here are 10 crystals that you should definitely look into getting.
1. Amethyst
Amethyst is one of the most widely recognized crystals, as its gorgeous purple shade is hard to forget. It is said to be a natural tranquilizer, that can help relieve stress, anxiety, depression, fear, and sadness. Amethyst is the perfect crystal to have when you are going through a rough patch, or have had a hectic day and need some calm.
I like to keep my Amethyst on my nightstand, so it can be close to me during the night. Sometimes, I put a small Amethyst stone under my pillow as well.
A lot of the time, you can find large Amethyst clusters at your local crystal shop. These are not only great to have for the healing properties, but they are amazing decor pieces as well!
2. Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is another crystal you may have already heard of. This crystal is all about love. It can help attract love into your life. This love may either be romantic or platonic, or it can even enhance the love you have for yourself.
This crystal is a beautiful pale pink shade, with a tad of translucency.
Rose Quartz works by opening your heart to accept love while strengthening your physical heart and circulatory system. It is perfect to carry around with you! I wear mine as a necklace on most days and keep a crystal in my purse with me as well.
3. Carnelian
This is one of my favorite crystals in my collection! The color of Carnelian can range, some may be pale orange, bright orange, various shades of red, or even brown.
Carnelian can help instill self-confidence and courage. This crystal is also great to have at your desk or workspace, as it will help boost analytical abilities and motivation. It also enhances drive and ambition!
I keep a small Carnelian tumbled stone on my desk, and I have been wearing my Carnelian bracelet almost every day since I got it!

Malachite is a beautiful crystal, and the green bands are definitely eye-catching. This crystal absorbs negative energy and encourages change. It works by flushing out toxic emotions and helps you to release old traumas. Another amazing ability of this stone is that it can help turn your dreams and inner thoughts into reality.
