Top 3 Reasons You NEED Crystals in Your Life
.
After learning that you love crystals just as much as I do, I thought I would share the top 3 reasons why everyone NEEDS a crystal in their life!
.
I am always learning about crystals and would by no means call myself an expert -- more just like someone who thinks crystals are amazing and wants to learn everything about them. Ok… mild obsession. But... I thought since I’m learning I can share with you!!
.
.
Reason 1 -- They are sparkly and shiny and just so freaking cool to look at!! Maybe that’s a bit of an obvious reason...but that was the reason that I was initially attracted to crystals so much and wanted to learn more! I mean, doesn't it make you smile to admire something so interesting?? Exactly!
.
.
Reason 2 - They are a work of art created by mother nature! The way that crystals are formed absolutely blows my mind. Just noting some of the ways that they form….extreme pressure and rapid solidification, gas bubbles in the earth’s crust, erosion, minerals metaling and recrystallizing….the list goes on and on. So incredibly fascinating!
.
.
Reason 3 - The healing and metaphysical properties of crystals! This is something I have more recently become super intrigued by and wanted to learn more about. I thought I’d share some of the beneficial properties of some of my favorites!

I thought I’d also share a couple of my favorite books on crystals. Some of them are more focused on the scientific formation of crystals while others focus on the crystals healing properties. I attached the links for you to grab them on amazon -- if you want to check them out click the pictures!
.
The Encyclopedia of Crystals by Judy Hall is my go-to for looking up the healing properties of the different crystals -- I love that it is organized by the color of the stone! So easy to find what you're looking for!
Rock and Gem by Ronald Louis Bonewitz has so much information behind where the stones originated and the history behind it. There are also TONS of amazing photos and scientific info.
