Working with gemstones is a powerful way to manifest your desires and call healing into every facet of your life. Crystals emit energetic vibrations that impact how you feel, sense, and interact with your environment, and they help strengthen any intention whenever you work with them. We can think things into existence, and crystals act as allies to help us manifest our desires – which is why intention is crucial when choosing your crystals, as they each harness unique properties and frequencies. I wrote this blog, 5 Best Crystals for Beginners, to guide those embarking on their crystal healing journey.
Have you ever been visually captivated by a particular gemstone? That’s your subconscious realizing an unexpressed need. All crystals and minerals have a specific vibration, energy, and frequency, and if your energy aligns or calls for theirs, you’ll feel a pull. If it doesn’t come to you right away, give yourself time. Energy work is a process and a skill you develop and hone over time. As you learn to raise your vibration, you’ll be more in touch with the intentions of your heart and can readily use your intuition as a guide.
5 Best Crystals for Beginners
Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is the mother of all love stones and one of my favorites for heart healing and manifesting all kinds of love. It’s considered the universal stone of peace and love – love for self, others, and all of creation. Rose quartz helps to open your Heart Chakra, reawaken trust, and dissolve negative energies.

Selenite is fragile – be careful not to get it wet – but it is quite strong, which makes it similar to us as spiritual beings, tender and yet strong in our own ways.
Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline is the most protective stone you can work with. It’s a Root Chakra gem of divine and psychic protection that creates an energetic shield around you, deflecting negativity and sealing holes in your auric space.

Black tourmaline is grounding, counteracts energy depletion, wards off nightmares, connects you with divine wisdom, and generally keeps you feeling safe and well.
Green Aventurine
Green aventurine is the stone of growth – whatever it touches, flourishes.
