Why natural crystals
Natural stone shows small variations in colour and pattern, feels cool and has a real weight in the hand. Imitations are common, so we explain how to tell the difference in our guides to natural vs synthetic crystals and choosing an authentic Himalayan crystal.

Natural stones vs gemstones vs crystals
“Natural stone” is the broadest term: any stone formed by nature, from quartz and pyrite to rocks such as lava stone. A gemstone is a natural stone valued for its colour, clarity or durability and usually cut or polished for jewellery, like lapis lazuli or carnelian. In geology, a crystal is a mineral whose atoms form a regular, repeating pattern, which is why clear quartz grows as six-sided points. Many pieces fit more than one label: a clear quartz point is a natural stone and a crystal, and polished into beads it is worn as a gemstone.

Finding the right crystal
• To wear: bracelets, rings and pendants keep a favourite stone close every day.
• For your space: raw stones and clusters suit desks, shelves and meditation corners. See where to place crystals in your home.
• By intention: many people choose stones by their traditional associations. Our guide to the best crystals for wealth, love, protection and success is a good place to start.

Crystal meanings come from tradition and personal belief rather than science. Choose the stone that feels right to you.
