How to choose stones

How to choose minerals by purpose

① If you want to use them for healing or energy work

• Check chakra correspondence
  Choose stones whose colors or energies correspond to each chakra (e.g., Red Jasper for the 1st chakra, Amethyst for the 6th chakra).

• Choose stones you’re intuitively drawn to
  When you actually hold a stone and feel “a spark” or “for some reason I’m drawn to it,” that stone is likely to carry the energy you currently need.

• Check origin and the quality of the energy
  The energy of the source matters too—places like Sedona, the Himalayas, Brazil, etc.

② If you want to choose them for interior or display purposes

• Whether you like the color and shape
  The mood changes depending on the form—crystal clusters, spheres, towers, raw stones, etc.

• Choose stones that fit the purpose of the space
  E.g.: Rose Quartz for the bedroom to promote relaxation; Citrine or Apophyllite to energize the living room.

③ If you want to collect them

• Mineralogical rarity and beauty of crystal structure
  Look for high-quality specimens or pieces with unusual crystal structures.

• Whether the stone has a certificate of identification
  For expensive pieces especially, it’s important to verify they are not treated or fake.
