Crystal Identification
Found yourself wondering 'what crystal is this?' or looking for a little help with crystal identification for a piece that came in one of our orders? Every order comes with a mix of small crystal freebie stones. If you are curious which crystals you received, take a look below. You can also tap the 'learn more about' link on some below for an even more indepth description and more photos to help with your crystal identification!
Please use your best guess in which crystal you receive as a freebie. Thank you again!
While you don't get to select your free crystals, it is said a crystal will select you when you need it!

Trying to identify crystals is not always easy, they can vary so widely it's not even funny. The locality, inclusions, part of the stone can all change up the appearance. Believe me this crystal identifier is just a TINY fraction of what these crystals can look like.
But you can also take a look around the website and see even more examples of crystals and what they look like. For example, you could head to the 'amethyst collection' and get a look at tons of different amethyst varieties!

There is a small mix of tumbled stones that may be mixed in to your order. Take a peek at this above crystal identifier list as well as the postcard included in your package to identify those. There are dozens of possibilities, so I can't list them all.
Visit our quick Crystals and Their Meanings page for more helpful information on crystal meanings or tap into any of the crystals above! Even more crystal 'about' info on the collection pages mentioned above as well.
Hope this page helps a little with your crystal identification! There are also some great crystal books that might be able to help you out. I've listed out some of my favorite books on that link and give a little description on why.
