Once you figure out the reason you would like a crystal, then you can narrow down the crystals that are good for each situation. And if you still don’t know the reason why you would like a healing crystal, that is perfectly okay, because there is a crystal for that, too!
Intuition - your own intuition and inner voice - will be your best guide when it comes to choosing the right healing crystal for you. You may find that you are drawn to a specific crystal, as our subconscious or our Higher Self often knows what it is that we most need and serves our best interest. Look at the crystals, feel and hold the crystals - notice any sensations you may experience when you are near or holding each one. Take a quiet moment while holding each crystal in your hands, close your eyes and focus on what kind of vibration you may feel. The crystal that most resonates with you is the right healing crystal for you.
