Crystal Descriptions

At Pinnacle Healing, we believe in the healing powers of crystals because we have seen them work wonders for ourselves and our clients. We make use of crystals in Reiki and Angelic Healing sessions for humans and animals, and we see the incredible results we get when we combine the powers of crystals with the loving, healing energy of the Divine.

Here are some of the numerous (and growing) crystal family members at Pinnacle Healing! Would you like to get to know them?!

Crystals are diverse, both in their many forms and in their many uses. In this post, we will explore some of the most common uses for the crystals we use in our healing sessions, and we will offer some tips for how to get started working with crystals yourself. Below you will find a sample photo of each crystal used in our sessions as well as a written description of some of the various and vast healing applications the crystal can offer you. After the crystal descriptions, you will find some tips on how to work with crystals.

Working with Crystals

If you’d like to explore and experience the benefits of crystals on your own, we highly encourage you to do so! Here are some general tips for using crystals:

  • Choose your crystals intuitively – see what you feel drawn to, not just for its beauty but its resonance within you — it’s a feeling thing, not a thinking thing 😉
  • Learn about cleansing your crystal – not all crystals can be cleansed in water (and not all need to be cleansed), but generally speaking, crystals absorb energies from the environment (or person they are connecting with) and need a little energy detox from time to time to stay in tip-top shape. Do a little research about how to cleanse and care for your particular crystal.
    • One option, that’s safe for pretty much all of the crystals, is to smudge them with sage (burn sage and allow the smoke to flow over the surface of the crystal until it feels clean)
  • Program your crystal – if you get a new crystal, ideally you take some time to sit with it and set some intentions for the relationship between you two. What would you like it to share with you or help you with? Imagine (and feel) all of the beautiful things this crystal will share with you, and imagine your intentions as a beautiful white light surrounding and penetrating the crystal. Tell it your intention – and so it is!
  • Learn the crystal’s chakra associations – this is optional, really, because the crystals can’t really harm you if you use them on the wrong chakra, but if you’d like to get the most out of your crystal, you may want to know what chakra(s) it is associated with and use it on those areas of the body. For example, if you have a stone like Sodalite, you will find it is most closely associated with the brow and throat chakras, so you will want to use this crystal on your forehead, eyes, chin, throat (or the surrounding areas).
    • A rule of thumb (which doesn’t always apply, but most often does), is that a crystal’s chakra association can be determined by its color. For example: Clear/White/Violet = Crown (top of head); Purple/Indigo = Brow/3rd Eye (forehead); Blue/Turquoise = Throat (throat); Green/Pink = Heart (center of chest); Yellow/Gold = Solar Plexus (below the sternum); Orange = Sacral (lower belly); Red/Black = Root (base of spine/tailbone).
  • Use your crystals in meditation – sit quietly with your crystal and just enjoy being in its presence. See where it takes you! When sitting in meditation, you can either lay the crystal on your body somewhere (if you’re laying down), or just gently hold it in your palm(s).
  • Use your crystal in healing sessions – you don’t have to be a Reiki master to heal yourself. In fact, setting the intention to connect with Divine Universal Unconditional Love is something anyone and everyone can do. Imagine this LOVE frequency as a light that showers over the crown of your head and out through your palms. Place your crystal (and palms) on various places on your body while intending and imagining you are channeling Divine Love through the crystal and into your body.
  • Use your crystals for sleep or environment – some crystals help with getting good sleep! Use these crystals by placing them under/in your pillow or on your nightstand right beside you. Some crystals are good for the environment – ex: setting protection, dispelling EMF’s or electromagnetic smog, etc. These crystals are great for placing in your home, wherever you’d like. You may want to learn about making a crystal grid in your home, if you’re looking for crystal protection. Another great idea is to get a selenite plate to put under any crystal(s) you really enjoy because the selenite will help amplify and spread the crystal’s influence/properties over an even larger space.

  1. I absolutely love this crystal guide! I will add it to my bookmarks for further reference. When I go to a crystal shop, I never go by description but with my intuition. When I pick up a crystal, I usually end up with one that resonates the most with what I need it for. And that there is the magic of it! I will be looking forward to the rest of the descriptions. Keep it up with the amazing work!
