New to crystals and gemstones

[Karin Elena]

Hi, I'm doing a research on crystals and gemstones since I don't have any experiences with it from before. It's lots of names to remember, but how do the crystals and gemstones look like? Should I buy a book or are there sites which shows how they look like? What are the benefits for me to have such crystals and gemstone, what can they do in dailylife? I know they can be used in spells and such. Thanks.

Hi Karin Elena,
You might want to learn about chakras too. Many crystals and gemstones correspond to certain chakras. Rose Quartz is for the heart chakra, for example. You can learn a ton by googling crystals and their magical properties.

You may want to visit a new age store or jewelry store to look at the gemstones and semi-precious stones and crystals to see which ones you are drawn to. The ones that you are drawn to May have spiritual significance for helping you at that time you are connected to it. If you cannot afford a crystal book like Judy Hall's Crystal Bible or Melody's Love is In The Earth, you can look up a stones metaphysical properties online. Happy crystal hunting
