Crystal Buying Guides | How to Choose a Crystal

Choose a crystal with confidence

Every natural crystal has its own colour, inclusions and shape. Use these buying guides to compare stone type, clarity, size, shape and actual-piece features before you order.

Shop by crystal

Amethyst

Choose Amethyst for its purple colour, zoning and strong display presence. For towers, compare the base, shape, depth of colour and natural inclusions.

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz ranges from highly transparent to misty or naturally included. Compare clarity, internal veils, rainbows, size and overall shape rather than expecting every piece to look identical.

Citrine

Choose Citrine by golden colour, clarity, natural inclusions, shape and treatment disclosure. Towers give vertical presence, while spheres and carvings highlight colour from different angles.

Before you order

  • Check the listed size and weight; natural crystals vary in colour, pattern and inclusions.
  • Read whether the listing is for the exact photographed piece or a selected piece from a matching batch.
  • For one-of-a-kind pieces, use the actual photos to choose the colour, clarity and inclusions you prefer.
  • Choose a stable display surface and handle polished points and glassy materials with care.
