So, you've been tempted by the fascinating world of stones and you want to treat yourself to your first crystal? Excellent decision! But with so much choice, it's normal to feel a little lost. Don't panic, I'll help you see things more clearly.

Why Intuition Is Your Best Ally

The first thing to know is that there is no "good" or "bad" stone to start with. The choice is often a matter of love at first sight. Let yourself be guided by your intuition. If a stone particularly catches your eye or gives you a pleasant sensation, it is probably made for you.

Some criteria to refine your choice

  • Your needs and intentions: Are you looking to reduce stress, improve your sleep, stimulate your creativity? Certain stones are more suited to certain needs.
  • Your astrological sign: Certain stones are traditionally associated with different signs of the zodiac.
  • Your element: Air, earth, fire or water? Each element corresponds to certain stones and can bring you complementary energy.
  • Your favorite color: The colors of stones have symbolic meaning and can influence your choice.

The ideal stones for beginners

If you are still hesitant, here are some stones that are often recommended to beginners because of their balancing and soothing properties:

  • Rose quartz: Symbol of unconditional love, it promotes gentleness and openness of the heart.
  • Amethyst: Known for its calming properties, it helps fight stress and promotes restful sleep.
  • Tiger's eye: Stone of protection, it brings strength and courage.
  • Moonstone: Associated with intuition and femininity, it promotes emotional balance.

How to integrate your new stone into your daily life?

Once you have chosen your stone, it is important to create a connection with it. You can wear it as jewelry, place it in your room, or simply hold it in your hand for a few minutes each day.
