Fancy Meets Function - Be Inspired with These Healing Crystals and Their Meanings

Knowing more about healing crystals and their meanings can be incredibly empowering and gratifying – and an actionable way to help in choosing crystals that are right for us.

We treasure crystals for so many reasons… their enchanting colors, shapes, and forms, and for how beautifully they adorn and enhance our lives and our surroundings.

And, of course, we adore crystals for how they can help and support us in areas where we may need some extra nurturing, energy, or encouragement.

When choosing a crystal to add to your collection or to spend time with, you may love simply selecting crystals that you feel drawn to and then explore their meanings. Or you may adore learning more about different crystals first and then choose those that are a fit for you.

However you select crystals, this list of healing crystals and their meanings will be so helpful. As you browse through these crystal meanings, listen to your intuitive wisdom if it gives you a nudge that a certain crystal (or crystals) may be just what you need.

While all crystals have healing properties, not every crystal has the same benefits and meanings. Each crystal is uniquely special with its own appearance, vibration, and properties.

You’ll fall in love with the healing properties of these sparkly, exquisite stones.
