Raw Crystals: The Ultimate Starter Kit
I’m sure by now you’ve probably heard all about the benefits of crystals and I have to be honest, whether you’re a believer or not, I’m most definitely a devout crystal head! I absolutely love crystals and have quite a substantial collection.
I’m especially drawn to raw crystals, with their unique natural energy and exquisitely pure raw beauty. Raw crystals are extremely beneficial in expelling negative vibes as well as serving as natural healing aids. I always enjoy picking up new ones on my travels and even have a select few that I take with me everywhere.
But if you’re new to crystals and looking to start your own collection, where do you begin? Here is what I recommend for the Ultimate Raw Crystal Starter Kit!
Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz is said to be one of the most powerful healing stones in the entire mineral kingdom, known for its high energy and powerful amplification.
This majestic crystal not only protects against negativity but it can also relieve pain whilst strengthening the aura and attune to your higher self. This makes it perfect for working with all the chakras. If you’ve ever experienced reiki before, you would have noticed how most reiki practitioners use Clear Quartz to cleanse, open, activate and align all the chakras.
As Clear Quartz has a high absorption rate and can easily absorb energies from other crystals, it’s especially important to cleanse it frequently and thoroughly. If you have a few Clear Quartz tumble stones then feel free to try placing these under your pillow. If you have a raw Clear Quartz cluster then it's best to place this in an active area where the light can reach it.
Rose Quartz
The second Quartz on my list, Rose Quartz ‘the Stone of Universal Love’, is probably the most popular crystal! This pink mystical looking crystal is said to encourage unconditional love and bring harmony to relationships.
Rose Quartz is identifiably a heart chakra stone, used to open up and purify the heart. If you feel the need to ensure self-love, do some inner healing or promote love in all your relationships then this high energy crystal is the one for you.
There are many ways to fully benefit from this soothing and emphatic crystal, from relaxing in a rose quartz soaked bath to drinking rose quartz infused water, to simply placing one or two by your bedside table.
Amethyst
You’ve probably seen this next crystal without even realising. It’s bright purple transparent hue definitely catches the eye and makes for some of the most beautiful jewellery. Amethyst is said to be a natural aid for relieving stress, removing pressure, balancing mood swings and for dispelling bouts of anger and anxiety. It can alleviate sadness and grief as well as opening and activating the crown chakra.
Throughout history, especially during the Ancient Greek and Roman times, this semi-precious stone was worn as jewellery and decorated on wine goblets/chalice to aid in sobriety.
If you’re looking to enhance your spiritual awareness and open your intuition, try wearing Amethyst as jewellery. If you have a raw Amethyst cluster, try displaying it in the most actively used part of your home.
Green Aventurine
Finally, we come to my favourite crystal of all! Green Aventurine, ‘the Stone of Opportunity’. This powerful crystal, especially in its raw form, is primarily used to dissolve energy blockages, release all negativity and act as an all-round healing stone.
Green Aventurine is said to hold ‘good luck’ and is used to attract abundance, particularly in financial matters. In fact, it is also known by another name ‘Women’s Luck’. It works very well alongside Rose Quartz and can increase creativity. As well as the heart chakra, It works best with the Water Elements as it can easily resolve emotional blocks with its particularly soothing and trusting energy.
If you fancy a little luck in your life, try keeping raw Green Aventurine with you whilst out and about, store it by your bedside or tuck it away in a money drawer!
So there you have it, my ultimate raw crystal starter kit! I hope you enjoyed this read and it helps you begin to build your own collection.
