How do different crystal structures influence the physical properties of minerals?

Crystals form according to specific atomic structures, which influence their physical and energetic properties. For example, minerals with a cubic structure, such as pyrite or garnet, are often associated with stability and anchorage. Crystals with a hexagonal structure, such as quartz, are renowned for their ability to amplify energy and promote mental clarity. The layered structure of some stones, such as lepidolite, contributes to their gentle energy and calming power. In this way, crystalline form plays an essential role in the effects of a mineral on the environment and on the person using it.

What are the recommended methods for purifying and maintaining crystals according to their specific properties?

Crystals absorb energy from their environment and require regular maintenance to preserve their effectiveness. Some stones, such as quartz and amethyst, can be purified with water, while others, like selenite or malachite, are too fragile and need to be cleansed by fumigation or exposure to moonlight. Salt is a common method, but can be abrasive to some stones. The use of singing bowls or sound vibrations is ideal for purifying crystals without direct contact. Finally, recharging can be carried out with sunlight for solar stones (citrine, sunstone) and with the moon for lunar stones (moonstone, selenite).

How to choose a crystal according to its energetic properties to meet specific needs?

The choice of a crystal depends on one's intentions and specific needs. For anchoring and protection, stones like black obsidian, tourmaline and hematite are recommended. For love and harmony, rose quartz and rhodochrosite are excellent choices. Blue stones such as sodalite and cyanite are associated with communication and expression. For concentration and mental clarity, clear quartz and fluorite are ideal. Finally, for spiritual work and energetic upliftment, amethyst and moldavite are highly prized. Listening to your intuition and feeling the energy of a crystal as you hold it in your hand is also an excellent way to choose the one that best suits your needs.

Do the properties of crystals vary according to their geographical origin or mode of formation?

Yes, geographic origin and mode of formation strongly influence a crystal's properties. For example, a Brazilian amethyst will have a slightly different hue and energy than an amethyst from Uruguay, which is often darker and denser. Natural citrine is rare and often comes from specific deposits, whereas most citrines on the market are artificially heated amethysts. Similarly, moldavite, the result of a meteorite impact in the Czech Republic, has a very high and unique vibration due to its extraterrestrial origin. The mineralogical richness of the soil and the duration of formation therefore influence the energetic and physical properties of the crystals, making each specimen unique.
