Crystal Encyclopedia

How to Use This Directory:

Welcome to your all-in-one guide to crystals and their healing properties! Each crystal is listed by its main type, and then by sub type. For example, Blue Calcite is listed under “Calcite, Blue” so you would find it in the “C” section for “Calcite” rather than the “B” section for “Blue.”

Curious about how these crystals get associated with their given properties? Crystal meanings are rooted in history, intuitive insight, color energy, and more. Be sure to check out our article about where crystal properties come from with some additional information. I hope you find this crystal encyclopedia useful as you deepen your healing practice and knowledge of stones!

If there’s a stone that you’re interested in learning more about, but you don’t see it listed here, please feel free to contact us and request that Ashley do a quick write-up about it or feature it on an upcoming blog post article.
