What do All the Crystal Colors Mean?

Everything about crystals is magical – everything!

It’s not just about the powerful energy that vibrates within their delicate little orbs. Nor is it just about the individual, unique gifts that each crystal is able to bestow the user.

A crystal’s color can tell us a lot about what it does and what it is for.

For example, crystals of a certain color will often correlate to certain chakras. Purple crystals like amethyst identify with the Crown chakra. Amethyst is a great all-rounder crystal, known for enhancing spirituality and connecting you to the divine.

By the same token, a blue crystal, like blue jasper, is especially good for connecting you to your Third Eye chakra and enabling you to hear the voice of your intuition more clearly.

Crystals & Your Intuition

Then there is the power of your own intuition. You don’t have to be an expert in crystals to just know that certain colors work for you and have the abilities that you need.

After all, crystals are a very spiritual thing, and sometimes just feeling your way around them and identifying intuitively with the color is enough to let you know what it can do for you.

When I go into a crystal store, I tend to feel my way around and move towards crystals that “pull” me towards them. It’s a sense of knowing and a sense of vibration.

I never know what the crystal is for until I have bought it and taken it home. Then the magic begins, because over time, it becomes apparent why I needed the crystal.

That is the magic of crystals!
