For your intentions to truly flourish, the crystals you choose must carry key healing attributes that align with the energy you wish to attract. Each crystal in our diverse collection has its own unique purpose. Whether it’s love, luck, happiness, or wealth, there’s a crystal for the energy you seek. Here are a few well-loved gemstones (and their crystals benefits!) to start with:
Amethyst for Calming and Spiritual Growth: Also known as the "calming stone," Amethyst is believed to alleviate anxiety and stress. It clears the mind to strengthen focus and heighten intuition, which is ideal for those seeking spiritual growth or mental reprieve.
Citrine for Optimism and Abundance: Associated with the solar plexus chakra, the body’s energetic powerhouse, it’s only natural for Citrine to attract prosperity and success. This stone boosts self-confidence and fosters feelings of optimism and good luck.

This gemstone promotes emotional healing of all forms beyond romantic love.

Carnelian for Creativity and Motivation: Carnelian is believed to instill creative energy and motivation, giving you a sense of renewed purpose. For those lacking that fire in life, a Carnelian stone can give you the passion to take charge.
Obsidian for Protection and Self-Discovery: A gemstone born of volcanic glass, Obsidian works to combat negative energy and offer protection when you need it most. Connected to the root chakra, it acts as an anchor to keep you grounded and confident as you navigate life’s uncertainties.
How to Set Intentions with Energy Stones
Crystals and energies work in tandem, with each stone carrying various natural properties in need of activation. Immense potential lies beneath these powerful stones, you just need to know how to tap into them.
Setting intentions with energy stones involves clearly communicating your intentions and trusting the crystals to bring your manifestations to life. This helps the stones hone in on that energy and channel it towards your dreams. However niche or broad your goals may be, let your crystals guide the way by starting with a simple intention.
While there’s no set “process” you need to follow, these are a few steps to kickstart your intention session:
Focus on the Energy You Wish to Fuel: It could be love, luck, abundance, or plain joy. Research properties associated with the multitude of crystals to discover which best aligns with your needs, and let intuition pull you to the right stone.
Communicate with your Chosen Crystals: With your stone held close, clear your mind and define your intention. Be specific with what you wish to attain and connect with the energy flowing from your crystals.
Show Gratitude and Stay Connected: End this ritual on a thankful note and keep your crystals close, whether worn as jewelry or placed in your living space. Every time you catch a glimpse, let it be a regular reminder of your set intentions.
Rituals for Cleansing Energy Stones
The relationship between an energy stone and its owner is rooted in spiritual healing. A crystal is said to absorb any emotional imbalances, storing or redirecting that negative energy elsewhere. Think of your crystals as an emotional outlet that needs to release this hoarded energy to perform at peak potential.
Whether you're new to crystal caretaking or simply wish to enhance your purification rituals, here are a few cleansing practices to consider when your energy stones need restoration:
Water Cleansing: Like us, certain stones just need a good cleansing bath. Water acts as the neutralizer of any negative energy your crystals hold. Rinse your stones under running water or soak them in a bowl, before patting them dry after a minute or so. Be careful to avoid water cleanses if you're dealing with softer stones such as Selenite, Kyanite, or Malachite.
Moonlight: While sun rays also work as a cleanser, moonlight is more gentle, making it the perfect ritual for crystals of any texture or density. Leave your energy stones outside or on your windowsill, and allow them to bathe under the moonlight overnight for maximized purification (though a few hours will work too).
Smoke Smudging: This age-old cleansing ritual utilizes smoke from sacred herbs, such as sage and palo santo, to clear the negativity from your stones. Ensure you are smudging your stones near an open window or outdoors so the unwanted energy has somewhere to disperse. Gently move your stones through the smoke, leaving them enveloped for about 30 seconds.
Sound Cleansing: This ritual relies on intentional, reverberating sounds from a tuning fork, bell, singing bowl, or even a chanting voice. Allow these vibrations to cleanse each stone, inviting new energy into your crystals quickly and effectively.
Selenite: A cleansing crystal such as Selenite is perfect for a crystal cleanse. It’s known to be "self-cleaning" and is particularly useful when your other stones need a vibrational refresh. Place the Selenite stone as close to the stones in need of purification as possible. If they can make direct contact, that is ideal. Allow them to interchange energy for however long you feel is needed.

The Best Time for Crystals and Their Energy
When recharging your crystals, the right timing can harness heightened healing energy to maximize your gemstones’ healing potential. Discover how you can synchronize your crystal healing work with the moon phases, seasons, or even your day-to-day routine.
Full Moon: It’s no surprise that crystal energy is most potent under a full moon. In the spiritual world, a full moon is seen as the beacon of energetic release, making it the opportune moment to rid your crystals of negative vibrations. Whether you're recharging your stones or setting intentions, utilize the full moon’s lunar energy for optimal outcomes.
Seasons: Nature's rhythm, including the changing seasons, influences not only us but also the power of crystals. Align your crystal healing work with the seasons to unlock their full potential and enhance their natural properties. Springtime, for instance, represents new beginnings, so crystals like Green Aventurine that carry the same sentiment will be particularly beneficial.
Daily Life: If a full moon rejuvenates crystal energies, then incorporating crystals into your day-to-day activities enhances your spiritual connection with these precious stones. Crystal work doesn’t have to be on a strict schedule. Let your crystals accompany you during morning meditations, mid-day work slumps, and even evening wind-downs. This allows you to maintain that strong connection and revisit your intentions throughout the day.
