Crystals I would gift my besties

Crystals are any solid material in which the component atoms are arranged in a definite pattern and whose surface regularity reflects its internal symmetry (Encyclopedia). I love to have crystals in my home as they emit their own frequencies and are said to have been used by “ancient Egyptians used crystals for healing and protection; sacred Indian texts explain specific healing properties of various crystals and how to use them to treat illnesses; Chinese medicine often includes the use of crystals; and ancient Greeks and Romans used crystals for protection in battle and in medical treatment—just to name a few examples” (Oprah Daily). Many of my friends believe in crystals as do I, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a gift guide for crystals I would gift to my friends with the benefits.

Onyx (black crystal) is said to be worn by people so that they can improve their memory, bring balance to their mind, or reduce their stress.

Turquoise has a strong connection to the throat chakra and helps to enhance communication and expression.

Rose Quartz is known as the stone of love, it can help open your heart up to all types of romance, “Hold it over your heart to align it with the energy of love.” Keep it in the bedroom, for obvious reasons (Oprah Daily).

Tigers Eye is said to balance the soul, alleviate anxiety, and restore confidence. This stone is used to increase wealth and vitality.

Selenite supposedly clears out the day’s accrued bad vibes and brings you in a more peaceful flow of energy. For an instant boost, wave the selenite wand around you (or around a friend who's having a hard day).
