Using crystals in everyday life

When it comes to buying crystals, the uses for them are endless and overwhelming. Many people buy crystals for their aesthetic or their properties, but don’t know what to do with them once they get home. Integrating your new crystals into your daily routine can help make them tools for mindfulness instead of aesthetic decor.  

Here are several ways to use them in everyday life: 

Intentional Decor 

The easiest way to use crystals is to place them where their specific energy matches the room they’re in. For example, place Caribbean calcite in your office on your desk to help assist in focusing the mind, create a serene environment, and provide mental clarity. Howlite is used to help clear a cluttered mind, and due to its calming, soothing nature, it is often used as a sleep aid, making it the perfect place for it near your bed or in a bedroom. Each crystal has different properties, and its uses can vary between rooms and needs. If you are using crystals as intentional room decor, consider buying towers, carvings, displays, and statement pieces to help bring positive energy to each room while also providing beautiful decor. 

Pocket Stones

If you seek temporary, specific uses for crystals that change with the situation, consider buying pocket stones to carry in your purse or pocket to help bring luck, peace, protection, and more as you go about your day. If you feel anxious or want something tactile, consider buying worry stones to provide a moment of peace by reaching into your pocket and touching the stone. This can act as a tactile grounding tool, pulling you out of your head and back into the moment. If you want something visually aesthetic on top of protection, consider purchasing our signature flower worry stones, only available at Mineral Fox. 

Manifestation and goal setting 

Crystals are excellent anchors for your goals, and paired with our manifestation journals, your crystal collection can help bring a new ritual to your mornings. Crystals like clear quartz, citrine, rose quartz, amethyst, amazonite, and many more are perfect for any manifestation ritual you want to create. This helps create a sense of intention for your daily life and provides a mental and physical use for your crystals. 

Self-care

Crystals can also be used to provide self-care in the morning or night to help cleanse your energy and depuff your skin. One way to do this is through crystals carved into gua shas. Gua shas are a traditional East Asian healing technique that involves ‘scraping’ your skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote lymphatic drainage. This is perfect for those who clench their jaws or those who want a way to ensure facial products are fully infused into the skin. Crystals like aventurine, rose quartz, tourmaline, and jade are often carved into a gua sha shape and are perfect for everyday routines. 

Whether it’s for manifestation or routine, crystals have an endless amount of uses, making them perfect for everyone. Each stone can be used in many different ways, and its properties vary between each person and their intentions. Through these uses, you can ensure you always have a little protection with you everywhere you go.
