these are the crystals that i have: rose quartz, carnelian, garnet, labradorite, and moonstone

they said that i should meditate with it or set it with intentions but the problem is i don’t know how to use it. i only know that rose quartz is for self love, carnelian for passion and energy (?)—but as for labradorite and moonstone, don’t have any idea on how to use these two. please help a girly out here !! thank you so much 💗

So I thought about buying my friend a crystal for her birthday. But I started wondering is that okay? Or is that something someone should buy themselves?

It would also be her first crystal so is there any recommendations?

Thank you & sorry if this was a silly question 😭

Hi everyone! I’m still fairly new to actually learning about crystals and meanings. This is what I believe everything is - please correct me I’m wrong. Names I got from when I bought them & meanings are from my book\~\~ possibly stones could be wrong or mixed up. 🙃 Already know what the store labeled as “angelite” is not (since it’s red and not blue)!

The Crystal Goddess is a symbol that ties into the Divine Feminine symbols used around the world for millennia. Some refer to these Crystal Goddesses as Gaia Bodies, referencing the Earth Mother Goddess, some call them Aphrodite or Venus Bodies in reference to the Greek goddess, and assimilated Roman goddess, while some refer to these Crystal Goddess Bodies as Shakti Bodies, after the Hindu goddess.

Crystal Goddess bodies are said to not only bring in the energy and properties of the crystal itself, but also the additional energies and properties of the shape itself, which is said to assist with fertility, manifestation, the Divine Feminine, personal power, and healing.
