Wearables Vs Collections
Many prefer to keep their crystals in their natural form, placing them in their hands when meditating or placing one in their pockets - others prefer to wear them. Both would make lovely and meaningful gifts. When buying wearables there are a few things you should consider, if you want to buy a pendent then make sure if the crystal has a point it is pointing upwards, pointing downwards might actually make the wearer feel worse because the energy is being drained rather than uplifted. Crystals are often worn as rings but if you’re buying as a gift, use this handy ring size guide from Pomegranate London to ensure you get the right size (quite often crystal rings are made to order).Choosing The Right Crystal
Like purchasing the right crystal for yourself, it’s all about intuition. Though all gifting requires intuitive choices, gifting someone a crystal also forces you to contemplate your relationship with that person, what’s going on in their life, and what energy you think can best improve their wellbeing. Though this process is more in depth than simply picking up a bottle of their favorite perfume, it can also be more redeeming to know the love and meaning that went into the crystal you selected for that person. So, here is a run down of the five most essential intention crystals;Clear Quartz - Clear quartz helps to amplify your intentions and has powerful cleansing effects along with blocking negative energy.
Selenite - Another powerful cleansing stone that allows for a positive flow between you and other rocks/crystals.
Shungite - One of earths rarer stones has healing properties and the ability to soothe anxiety.
Amethyst - One for boosting strength and spiritual protection.
Citrine - Promotes a positive outlook and stimulates the mind so that you’re motivated to form good habits and are always filled with optimism.
Cleansing The Crystal Before Gifting
Once you choose your crystal to gift, cleanse it and fill it full of all the energy you want to impart on the recipient, its time to decide how to share all your crystal knowledge. While gifting a crystal is a special, thoughtful process, every recipient will respond differently. When gifting to an acquaintance, sometimes less is more. Writing in a card “this made me think of you” is often all you need. To learn how to cleanse your crystal check out this post.Do you have a favorite crystal?
