Crystal Properties FAQ
Do crystals “work” if I’m not super spiritual?
Yes. Think of them as wearable intention + symbolism. If a stone helps you feel calmer, braver, or more grounded, that’s meaningful—no perfect belief system required.
Can I wear multiple crystals together?
Absolutely. A simple method: pick one “anchor” stone (your main intention) and one “support” stone (like clear quartz for amplification or rose quartz for softness).
What’s the best crystal for gifting?
Birthstones are the easiest “always right” choice. If you’re gifting by vibe: rose quartz (love), black tourmaline (protection), amethyst (calm/intuition), or citrine (confidence).
