The first time I let my children pick out their own crystals at the “rock and fairy store”* they were ecstatic. I then looked up the properties of the crystals when I got home because they both picked out crystals that I was unfamiliar with. I was blown away with how each crystal fit the child.

 My six year old daughter picked out a rainbow obsidian and that fits her because she is a sensitive child. This crystal promises to give her protection and also raise self esteem. Obsidian can be a very intense stone so I don’t have her carry it with her but I don’t hesitate to let her “play” with it if she asks.

 My two year old son (I want to point out he is way past the putting things in his mouth stage and he is also obsessed with rocks so I was comfortable letting him hold on to it) picked out a rhodonite. He is known to be a little over active and difficult as some two year old boys are, but I was amazed at how quickly he calmed down and became quiet as soon as he held it. When I looked into the properties of this crystal I was happy to see that it promotes relaxation and brings a sense of well-being.

This is just proves to me the healing qualities of crystals and that you are drawn to crystals that you need in a given situation. So the next time you’re drawn to something, take a step back and try to figure out why, it might shed some light onto something that is needed in your life.

 Love and light,
