3 tips for your spring crystal refresh

3 tips for your spring crystal refresh
1. EMBRACE RENEWAL
 
Spring symbolizes abundance and renewal - a period where anything is possible and there is freshness at every turn. Take stock of your existing crystals. Do you love them? Do they bring you joy? If you work with them energetically, are they doing what you want them to do? If the answer is no, then gift them to loved ones or tuck them away for a later season. Not every crystal is going to speak to you at every moment in time and that’s okay! 

2. REFLECT AND REARRANGE
Thinking about spring, what are you looking forward to? What are you hoping to invite in? Do you have any crystals that align with your goals, or any crystals that make you feel energized and optimistic? If so, move those crystals front and center in your space to reinforce and support your goals and energetic focus. 

Prefer to just enjoy the aesthetic of your crystals versus working with them energetically? Then simply reflect on the colors and dimensions you want to emphasize in each nook of your home/office/space and do some rearranging! Use this as an opportunity to bring fresh energy to your space overall. 

3. IDENTIFY WHAT’S MISSING
Spring is such a significant period of renewal - emerging from the inward focus of winter brings new identities and personal growth that may lead you to feel like your existing crystals are missing something. Be intentional about new investments - ask yourself, ‘what am I missing in my crystal collection?’
Think about how you like to interact with your pieces - are you doing energy work or simply decorating with them? Do you want pieces with a specific color or energetic property? Does spring bring big crystal energy and you want a statement piece, or is your energy more focused on a small collection for meditation? Something as simple as the seasonal light changing in your space can create an opportunity to invite a new crystal in… for me, when there’s a spot where the light catches my eye, I love to place a crystal there so I get to enjoy it illuminated for a few moments each day. 

I hope these ideas were helpful to start thinking about how to refresh your crystals for spring! Remember, you really can’t go wrong with your crystals. Let them be a source of happiness for you - don’t overthink it! If it speaks to you, run with it! Let us know how we can help you and your crystal collection this spring 💕

5 crystals to celebrate spring

As we shift into the light, bright and abundant season of spring, we thought we would share a few crystals to help celebrate. That natural desire to shed the layers of winter inevitably lead to us cleaning out closets, ridding our spaces of clutter, and creating space for little moments of joy and growth. 

While we love a good purge, don't forget that you can also invite things in - things that symbolize the energy of this season. Why not start with a few of these crystals? Here are 5 suggestions for spring crystals:

Clear Quartz - The quintessential spring cleaning crystal! Known for its ability to amplify energy and help achieve clarity, among many other uses, it lets the light in and then makes it brighter.  Quartz is a chameleon and can look many different ways, from crystal clear to milky to golden and beyond. This one is particularly cheerful!

 

Pink Tourmaline - Pink Tourmaline is a stone of emotional healing and love. It is perfect for stepping away from the past, and moving on to new beginnings. You can keep small pieces in your bag with you for a loving reminder, or display a more prominent piece, such as this one, wherever you need a reminder of self compassion and love. 



Pyrite - Pyrite is shiny and bold - perfect for shielding you from bad energy and protecting your good vibes. Like spring, it is also associated with abundance. After a year of pulling back, having less, and experiencing so much unpredictability, it serves as a bit of hope that there is abundance through it all. This one actually combines a few of our recommendations and is one of our most unique!



Kyanite - This deep blue beauty encourages clear communication with oneself, as well as tranquility and joy. As we transition to a new season (and this year, spring feels a little like a new reality), a sense of peace and inner trust is priceless. Small pieces can be kept with other crystals with desired properties styled on a dish, while larger pieces steal the show on their own. 



Fluorite - It's just the best! In colors ranging from teal to purple to lime green, fluorite is cheerful as heck and just looking at it makes you happy. It is definitely all about positive energy, and it encourages a go-with-the-flow attitude. Whether it's a tiny cube from the Elmwood mine to a rainbow fluorite display piece, any addition of this special crystal will enhance your spring experience.
