Crystal Meanings & Spiritual Use

I'm new to crystals, where should I start? +

If you're just getting started with crystal energy, a good first step is to check out our Crystal Meanings & Uses guide or explore our Best-Sellers Collection. Whether you're curious about healing, protection, intuition, or simply drawn to their beauty, trust your instincts. There's no wrong place to begin.

What are Fluorite's healing properties? +

Fluorite is known as the "Genius Stone" in the crystal world. Spiritually, it symbolizes mental clarity, energetic cleansing, and spiritual order. It's believed to clear mental fog, sharpen intuition, and help you focus. This makes it a favorite for studying, decision-making, or meditation.

Fluorite is also thought to absorb negative energy and stress, especially from the environment or electronics, and restore energetic balance. Each color variation adds its own flair: purple for spiritual insight, green for heart healing, blue for calm communication. It's like a spiritual vacuum for your energy field.

What does Amazonite mean, spiritually? +

Amazonite is often called the Stone of Truth and Harmony. Spiritually, it's known for its soothing energy—calming the mind, easing anxiety, and helping you speak your truth with confidence. It balances masculine and feminine energies, aligns the heart and throat chakras, and encourages honest communication without fear of judgment.

Many wear Amazonite to dissolve inner conflict, set healthy boundaries, and flow through emotional turbulence with grace. It's like a gentle reminder to stay soft, yet strong.

How do crystals actually work for healing or energy? +

Crystals work by interacting with your body's energy field. Each stone has its own stable vibration that can help balance, cleanse, or amplify your energy. When you hold or wear a crystal, its frequency influences yours—like tuning your energy to a more harmonious state.

They're not medicine, but powerful allies for emotional, spiritual, and energetic support.

How do I choose the right crystal for me? +

Choosing the right crystal is often about intuition. Let yourself be drawn to one, even if you don't know why. That pull usually means it resonates with your energy.

You can also choose based on your intention—like Rose Quartz for love, Black Tourmaline for protection, or Citrine for abundance. Some people align crystals with their zodiac sign or chakras, while others start with easy all-rounders like Carnelian, Red Jasper, or Sunstone. Trust your gut; it knows what you need.

Care & Maintenance

How do I clean my crystal jewelry safely? +

To clean your crystal jewelry safely, use mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth for hard, non-porous stones like quartz, amethyst, or citrine. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

For delicate or porous crystals like selenite, malachite, or turquoise, skip the water—just wipe gently with a dry cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and harsh chemicals, as they can crack or dull your stones.

Can I wear my crystal jewelry in the shower or while swimming? +

It's best not to wear your crystal jewelry in the shower or while swimming. Water, especially salt or chlorine, can damage both the crystals and the metal, causing fading, tarnish, or loosening of settings.

Should I cleanse my crystals, and how? +

Yes, it's a good idea to cleanse your crystals regularly. They absorb energy and need clearing to stay energetically fresh. Easy methods include:

  • Placing them under moonlight
  • Using sound (like singing bowls or bells)
  • Setting them on a selenite plate
  • Gently passing them through sage smoke

Think of it as an energetic reset.

Authenticity & Ethical Sourcing

How can I tell if my crystal jewelry is real? +

To tell if your crystal jewelry is real, look for natural signs: slight imperfections, uneven colors, tiny inclusions, or irregular shapes. Real crystals feel cool, have some weight, and make a soft, resonant sound when tapped.

If it looks too perfect, feels warm, or is oddly light, it's likely a fake. Trust your senses and buy from trusted sources.

Are your crystals authentic and natural? +

Yes, our crystals are 100% authentic and natural. At Ayana Crystals, we hand-source each piece with love from trusted locations around the world—no dyes, no heat treatments, no shortcuts.

What you see is pure nature's energy, just as it was meant to be.

Wearability & Safety

Can I wear crystal jewelry every day? +

Yes, you can wear crystal jewelry every day—just choose the right stones. Harder crystals like quartz, amethyst, and citrine hold up well to daily wear. Softer ones like opal or moonstone are more delicate and may scratch or chip.

Can crystal jewelry cause allergies? +

Yes, crystal jewelry can cause allergies—but it's usually the metal, not the crystal, that's to blame. Nickel is the most common culprit, often hidden in cheaper alloys.

Solution: Choose hypoallergenic options like nickel-free stainless steel, titanium, surgical steel, or true sterling silver.
