What are crystals made of?

Crystals are solid minerals formed over thousands (or millions!) of years under Earth’s crust. They develop unique geometric structures due to their atomic arrangement. For example:

  • Quartz (like clear quartz or amethyst) is silicon dioxide.
  • Calcite forms from calcium carbonate.
    Fun Fact: The color and clarity depend on impurities (e.g., iron turns amethyst purple).

How do crystals "work"?

Many believe crystals interact with our body’s energy fields (chakras or aura). Popular examples:

  • Rose Quartz: Promotes love and emotional healing.
  • Black Tourmaline: Shields against negativity.
  • Citrine: Attracts abundance.
    Tip: Research or meditate with a crystal to feel its unique vibration.

Identifying Real vs. Fake Crystals

Is my crystal genuine?

Synthetic or dyed stones are common. Check for:

Natural imperfections (inclusions, uneven color).

Temperature: Real crystals feel cool to touch.

Hardness Test: E.g., quartz scratches glass.
Trustworthy sellers (like MLDCRYSTAL!) provide authenticity guarantees.

Cleansing & Charging Methods

Why and how to cleanse crystals?

Crystals absorb energy and need "resetting." Try:

Moonlight/Sunlight: Place them under a full moon.
Salt Water (avoid porous stones like selenite!).
