You read the title of the article correctly, "Five Crystals You Should Have." Now I know what you might be thinking, "Why would I even want to collect crystals? What would I get out of it?". Crystals actually possess healing properties, which can help balance your energy. By using different crystals, you can; increase, decrease, and alter unseen energy levels. When you go out and buy crystals, keep in mind they do not have to be very expensive; a small $4 stone will do just as well as a $40 stone. These are just five out of the many crystals you can collect for yourself, perfect for when you are just starting collecting crystals.

1. Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz is simply an amplifier crystal. It will amplify any energy level, whether that be your own or another crystal you are using. I personally enjoy having one around at all times, mine is on a necklace so it can amplify my energy level wherever I go. Clear Quartz can come in many forms; small to large pieces, pendents, wands, clusters, and in spheres. This crystal is a definite must have for starting your collection.

2. Citrine

This beautiful crystal actually can start out as amethyst or even smokey quartz. What happened to this stone was, it was heated by the Earth and became that beautiful orange color. Now this crystal's color can range from a champagne color all the way to a deep ice tea color, depending how long it was in heat. Don't fret about the color of the crystal though, the color has no impact on how it reacts with your energy levels. Citrine has this positive, almost creative and happy energy about it which is great if you personally feel like you are having a creative road block. This crystal is perfect for that creative side that you always want to keep in touch with.

3. Rose Quartz

This is arguably one of the most attractive crystals, which is one of it's amazing qualities. It is a considered "The stone of Love" and this is because of it's; calming, gentle, and compassionate energy levels. This is perfect for those times that you feel like you need a little bit more love or want to share those compassionate feelings to others. I personally always like to have it with me either in my room or with me when I go over to a friend's house to spread those loving and compassionate feelings.

4. Green Aventurine

Surprisingly, this is another type of quartz! Be careful when looking for this crystal, and make sure you search for Green Aventurine; it's rare but it does come in other colors. It's a common healing stone, a go-to stone for any afflictions. It's all about an exuberance of anything; health, growth, finances, confidence, and friends.

5. Amethyst

This purple quartz is known for protection and purification. It is also known to help with enhance intuition and can help with the release of addictions, which is always a plus. This is another crystal that I personally love to always have around, I usually have it on a necklace as well for overall protection and purification for my energy when I go to school or out in public in general. You'd be surprise how much other people's energies can effect yours.

These are just five out of the many crystals out there, and like I stated in the beginning, you do not need to spend a lot of money on these crystals. You can have multiple smaller ones, there's no limit to how many of one crystal you can own. So go out and find crystals, even if you're not keen on buying one yet. See if you get any "vibes" from holding these crystals, you'd be surprised how awesome it can be to find that perfect crystal.
