Crystals for beginners
You do not need a big collection, or any special knowledge, to start. Pick a few stones you like the look and feel of.
The classic first stones
- Clear quartz: the all-rounder, tied to clarity.
- Amethyst: calm and rest.
- Rose quartz: love and kindness to yourself.
- Citrine: optimism and abundance.
- Black tourmaline: protection.
- Selenite: often used to cleanse other stones (keep it dry).
Which shape?
Tumbled stones are smooth and cheap, good for a pocket or a bedside dish. Points and towers stand up on a shelf. Spheres and hearts are tactile and make easy gifts. Raw pieces show the stone as it formed.
Care basics
Know your stone's hardness: soft stones scratch and some dissolve. Our hardness chart lists what can get wet.
