Best thing to do is to think about what you need the crystal for and then consult a correspondance table. I use selenite on a daily basis because its properties help me to keep a positive outlook. But if you already have a positive outlook then that might not be the stone for you. Its a very personal thing. Clear quartz is the best all rounder and can be used in place of some of the more expensive crystals. (I mean - good luck with buying diamonds and sapphires - lol)
I didn't write this, its copied and pasted from somewhere and has found its way into my book of shadows. But its a good basic guide on the properties of some of the popular crystals.
