Crystals for beginners?

Which crystal would you recommend to someone completely new to the energy and healing power of crystals? Why would you choose it?

I say clear quartz.

Its a softer energy and the stone doesnt tend to hold negative energy either.  Its great at amplifying the benefits of others also.  

I would also recommend amethyst rose and smokey quartz too though.  I believe all of them give a great all round example of the benefits of using crystals.  There also hardy and easy to use with ne real sensitive cleanign instructions so they can take a few mistakes that other sensitive, fragile crystals cant.

What about the shapes of the crystals? I find that giving people a smooth polished palm stone to hold can really relax them...  anti-stress stones for executives lol.

Tumblestones of all kinds too, but many newcomers don't thing that a small pebble will make any difference a cut palmstone or thumbstone is bigger and so hold their attention and respect more?

I would agree with the smoky and rose quartz but I wouldn't go for clear at all, perhaps a nice green aventurine that would really cool and calm.

I agree with the examples above, my ideal starter kit for a beginner would include large tumble amethyst, rose quartz ans soft cloudy/clear quartz, I would recommend citrine as an introduction to using a point as it it such a positive stone it lends to using the crystals in a beneficial way and will cleanse the other crystals.

Thanks for welcoming me!

It's great to find forums about asll the things I love - and crystals have to be pretty high up on my list, they are part of my family!

I have so much to learn still even though I have been collecting and learning for 20 years.  The more I look the more there is to learn and share.  Crystals always take me on a journey recemtly I have been drawn to Black Tourmaline, Selenite and Labrodite - not sure what the significance is but I'm sure all will be revealed in time.

Hi donper welcome

Suzyn you will love forums, they really are fascinating, so many different people to share experiences with and read about

I am loving it it - but it's like information overload I'm interested in it all - they say curiosity killed the cat - well it's certainly driving my family up the wall I'm on the internet now, just reading and jotting things down trying to make some sense of it all and relevance to me.

Can you recommend a stone that will make me focus and priorise the tasks I know I should be doing!

Life has moved very quickly over the last 6 years - so many changes so much learned so much more - when do I get time to make sense of it all? This has been the theme in all areas of my life - family, career, education, and spiritually.

Hope some of the lovely people can offer some guidance and understanding.  And it also great to to share what I have learned when I see someone asking about something I can help with.

I find that Selenite is quite a good starter crystal as well as Quartz, Rose Quartz, AMethyst and Citrine :D
