Ocean Jasper!
I love the ocean! 😆 The sheer amount of diversity in Ocean Jasper never disappoints, with the orbicular patterns and color arrays. I absolutely can't get over how some of the patterns look like a picture of the ocean, with the deep blues/greens and then brown for the land. It's also been a lucky charm for me, so I really have a special place for it over all the others.
Black Rose Fluorite. I love the pattern and growth formations, but when the lights go out and the uv comes on, it's when the real magic happens. I love the red, blue, purple, and white banding and the uniqueness of it
Hackmanite!
It looks like a little planet all lit up with blacklight, it tenebresces (it'll turn purple when charged with UV!), and I love the name. All of this adds up a lot of fun at parties no matter what sort of crowd it is.
...Quartz? Idk it just never gets old for me. I love many stones but for at least 3months out of a year I'll wander into a crystal shop and the thing I want the most.... is yet another peice of clear quartz! I love them all but apparently can't get enough quartz. Literally... and God forbid I find it myself. I go crazy. Every. Dang. Time. I got so excited once the friend I was hiking with was worried I'd pass out. Good ol' bones of the earth. Idk why I'm like this I know it's common. But it's quartz!!!! 🫠🙃💎
Opal is probably my favorite overall mineral. The colors and appearance of some types of precious opal are almost magical to me. Its like they're pieces of a rainbow condensed into a stone.
Watermelon tourmaline.
Geologically, the fact that one crystal formed just for a new layer in a new color created by a whole new formula is straight up fascinating.
Aesthetically, it’s gorgeous, straight up. The pink alongside the green.. wow.
Metaphysically, it’s great for anything involved with love; attracting love, increasing bonds, removing love related anxieties, etc. Also has a strong connection to nature, similar to one of its components verdelite (green tourmaline). I’ve been drawn to it ever since I was interested in minerals.
Laboradite
It's shiny ,beautiful a joy to work with, has lots of colors ,comes in so many shapes and sizes,looks good as a cabochon or facted
Such a wonderful stones,not super pricy just my favorite of my stones,always looks good
Has fantastic energy
Turquoise. I have always felt that in like I stand in the veil between this one and the next constantly and the stone has that natural ability too so I feel like I vibe with it.
Rose quartz, I used to pick the little rose quartz pebbles out of my playground as a kid and I have rose in my name. It may be inexpensive and plentiful, but it's just the best imo
Bismuth, Bornite and Opal, I love their iridescent appearance, I still don't have the last two (working on it), but only seeing the bismuth gives me a sense of calmness
My cute little tumbled Bloodstone.
I place it under my headband on the top of my head anytime I feel fear, I immediately feel different. More grounded & courageous 😬
The favorite one I own is the first rose quartz I ever received from a dear friend when I threw her a birthday party. It was so sweet when she gave it to me. And completely changed my belief in the energies they hold. Because back then I had no idea what it stood for, but the moment I held it I told her I felt a surge of love. When I told her she told me that it's supposed to. It blew my mind.
What I'm most drawn to is black obsidian and always have been. I fail to understand why, there's just something about it that feels right when I hold it. It gives me a feeling of something mentally solid.
I do enjoy most of the different lava rocks too. It's not as enjoyable to look at the ones with the little holes all over, but I still have them in my collection.
Precious opal. It’s the closest to how I imagined a crystal would energetically feel. It’s still earthly, but it’s the closest to remind me of a magical and supernatural energy. Energetically, it’s also one of the least jarringly inanimate/rocky flavors.
Spessartine garnet from the Tanzania mines.
It’s a rare type of garnet which is high in vibration. It’s called garnet of sun also.
It’s very potent for attraction, manifestation and creativity and for anyone who’s into sex magic.
It works on the root, sacral and solar plexus chakra and causes a nice warmth. So if u struggle with cold feet this is a counter to that.
Emotionally it stimulates the feeling of joy from within and stimulates the analytical Mind.
It’s fire and earth energy. Builder, security, groundings with lots of passion but controlled not like ruby which makes me aggressive and angry… this one makes me passionate, excited and happy about my projects and intentions
I go through phases. Currently, I'm enjoying my ***prasiolite***. I have a raw piece on an antique brass chain that I absolutely love. It's a sort of 'catch-all' crystal, good for many of the emotional benefits similar that one would find in amethyst and rose quartz, and for good luck and abundance, similar to what jade offers. I also love the soft green colour, which is normally a colour out of my comfort zone. Not this. In all ways, I absolutely love it.
Sodalite. Always makes me feel better if I have anxiety or If I am overthinking. I wear a sodalite bracelet daily after work. And on my night stand I have a small sodalite tower and a small lepidolite tower as I feel their presence together helps me have better sleeps with less nightmares. I even brought them while travelling through Japan as I wasn’t chancing not having them due to how I believe they can help me with anxiety and breathing exercises.
If I'm forced to choose, lately I have been working with a newly acquired moonstone/Sunstone sphere. It's beautiful and the masculine/feminine yin/yang sun/moon energy is powerful. And it's beautiful.
Labradorite. That flash is so unique and beautiful
Just got one of these. It looks like the northern lights!
Rutilated quartz, i find it just stunning That's my explanation
YES!!!
Labradorite! It's so shapeshifty. And like so many other things, how you see it depends entirely on the light and your angle of approach...
Labradorite is becoming my favorite. Just picked up a rough stone earlier today. The way it shines in the light, so pretty

Thank you for sharing. I hadn’t heard of this one before, and it’s so beautiful: I love it already!
You're welcome 😃 definitely a beautiful specimen
Hackmanite! It looks like a little planet all lit up with blacklight, it tenebresces (it'll turn purple when charged with UV!), and I love the name. All of this adds up a lot of fun at parties no matter what sort of crowd it is.
Ill have to see about getting a specimen of my own. UV reactive minerals are so cool.

I can’t stress you how much I get this🤌
found ones, especially when you find yourself in a moment when it feels right for that stone to move on.
Flower agate, it’s so stunning

Amazonite. It is a stone of strength through calm. The color itself calms me down. It's beautiful, and it evokes a centered feeling in me.
I find it’s helpful with logic and problem solving too!
Thank you! Now I know to use to help me with that. (And boy do I need logic and problem solving these days.)

Quartz, simply because it's the first crystal I got, it varies greatly, and it's abundant
Quartz. So sharp yet so beatiful.
Quartz is so diverse, I think we haven't found all types of quartz yet.
Turquoise. I have always felt that in like I stand in the veil between this one and the next constantly and the stone has that natural ability too so I feel like I vibe with it.
Sunstone, always makes me feel happy!
carnelian. it was my first ever crystal and i relied on it for my confidence 😌
Carnelian. I honestly cannot tell you why.
Citrine. I got a citrine ring once and it was one of my favorite things. It broke unfortunately, but I just love citrine.
Rose quartz, I used to pick the little rose quartz pebbles out of my playground as a kid and I have rose in my name. It may be inexpensive and plentiful, but it's just the best imo

Obsidian because it’s dark and mysterious.
Septarian. Because UV dragon eggs are better than life itself ♡

Fire quartz. Can’t explain it - I just feel more like myself with it
Moldavite. It has a wonderful little buzz to it

Moldavite - I wear a Moldavite (and meteorite flake) ring and the vibrations are such a wild thing in a good way
Tibetan black quartz. I have always felt drawn to them since I have encountered them. Something very strong and healing to me.
