Crystals: Types, Meanings and Properties

The crystals that mankind has discovered to this day, were formed thousands and even millions of years ago in the womb of the Earth. In the beginning, crystals were only tiny minerals carried away by streams of water that were eventually deposited inside holes in the rocks. Over time, they flourished into beautiful creations of nature and acquired all kinds of sacred energy.

Different crystals have different properties that can help maintain positive energy, let go of what no longer serves you, balance emotions and maintain harmony in your home or environment. If you are interested in knowing what type of crystal is right for you, we invite you to continue reading this article.

Quartz; a Protective Crystal and Amplifier of Energy
Quartz is a crystal composed of silicon dioxide and is formed in a wide variety of colors. There are many types of quartz such as rose quartz crystals, blue quartz, smoky quartz, clear quartz, strawberry quartz, green quartz and even tourmalinated quartz with rutile inclusions.

Quartz rocks are protective and energetic crystals, with different powers and properties depending on the colours of the stone. Quartzes allow you to express your feelings calmly, eliminate stress, jealousy, anger, anguish and amplify your energy to manifest. Rose quartz is ideal to purify energies, attract love and balance your body and mind. Quartz crystals are easy to cut, so it is not difficult to find them in different shapes such as polished, tumbled or in jewelry; making it easy to incorporate crystals into your daily life in a variety of ways.

Tiger Eye; the Energy of the Sun and Earth in a Crystal
The tiger’s eye is a semi-precious stone whose name derives from the warm yellow, gold, brown and amber shades of its reflections, which recalls the hypnotizing eyes of tigers.

This crystal is very powerful for releasing fear and anxiety, and is ideal to stimulate self worth, and balance. In addition, the energies of the sun and earth combined in the tiger eye, give one the power to see more clearly the good and the bad, what suits you and what doesn’t, and the courage to repel the negative vibes away from your life.

Obsidian; a Mystical Stone
Obsidian is a protective stone that is formed when incandescent lava ( at 600 °C), high in silica and aluminium, cools rapidly. If the temperature cools too slowly, then the minerals crystallise and give rise to rocks known as rhyolites, which are light-coloured; grey, brown, pink, red and yellow.

Black obsidian is known as the stone of truth. This is the reason why an obsidian mirror should be part of the items in your home or crystal collection. The obsidian mirror will show you without holding back what is in your subconscious: traumas, fears, limitations, and negative beliefs so you can face them and grow. When you are able to face the secrets of your soul reflected in the obsidian mirror, you can heal your body, mind and spirit.

Tourmaline; the Ultimate Protection Stone
Tourmaline is a crystal with a complex chemical formulation that belongs to the family of silicates. Tourmaline is found in all colors; with colors ranging from black to striking turquoise to majestic greenish blue and an incandescent neon glow that seems to illuminate the stone in a radioactive way from within. The glow of this stone makes Tourmalines beautiful and highly praised. Tourmaline is well known for providing emotional balance, protection and grounding.

Selenite; the Stone of Inner Peace
Selenite comes from the Greek word “selēnē”, which means moon and is related to the goddess of the moon. Selenite is a transparent plaster crystal with white internal cracks. This crystal is very beneficial for attracting positive energies, harmony, tranquility and clarity of mind. Selenite is most sought after for its capacity to purify the energy of other crystals, objects, places and people.

Fun fact: Currently, selenite crystals are among the largest crystals ever found in the world! Some of them exceed 11 meters in length and 2 meters in diameter.

Auralite 23; a Rare & Captivating Crystal
Auralite 23, also known as Auralite Amethyst, is one of the most unique crystals found to this day. This type of amethyst has different colors in the same piece, which are taken from the 23 minerals and elements that make it up, hence its name. Some of the minerals and elements that can be found inside auralite amethyst are: titanium, copper, iron, gold, silver, platinum, nickel, rutile, limonite, green quartz, amethysts, bornite, citrine, epidote, chalcopyrite and others. It is important to note that not all pieces will have 23 minerals and elements but rather 2-6 from that list.

This crystal is an extremely powerful tool, as it amplifies the effects of other high vibrations around you and accelerates spiritual development. Auralite is a healer of the soul which awakens the light of your consciousness, raises your vibration and gives you insight of who you really are.

Now that you know the benefits that certain types of crystals can bring to your physical and spiritual well-being, you are surely wondering where you can get yours! The most popular crystal shop in Quebec is Crystal Dreams. Crystal Dreams offers natural crystals from all over the world at very affordable prices. The best part is that this crystal store has an online shop that ships worldwide. In case you live in Montreal, Canada, feel free to visit our two physical retail locations.
