What are crystals by intention?
In traditional crystal healing, crystals are grouped by intention, the specific quality of attention they support, like love, protection, sleep, or grief. Many people find that choosing a stone by intention rather than color or name is the most direct way to meet the right crystal. Browse 50 intentions below; each lists 5 traditional pairings.
From Crystal Cassandra
“Crystals don't fix problems. They help us focus our own intention. When you reach for a particular stone, you're really reaching for a particular kind of attention.”
Before you buy any of the stones listed below, especially the higher-priced ones, browse the authenticity guide library for the per-stone verification tests on the 12 most-counterfeited crystals.
