Paul-François Quinsac, A Beauty in Violet (1858) (detail)
in witchcraft you don’t pick crystals, crystals pick you
In my experience, some signs that a crystal has chosen you include:
- The crystal is noticeably warm when you pick it up
- Your hand automatically drifts towards one particular crystal, even if it is not what you intended to choose
- An intense feeling of MINE when you first touch a crystal
- Prolonged thought about a specific crystal
- Seeing colors or hearing sounds when first touching a crystal
- The crystal is noticeably colder than room temperature upon first contact, then quickly becomes warmer than your body while in your hand
- A reluctance to put a certain crystal back onto the shelf
Story:
About 6 years ago I was in my favorite crystal store at the time with a friend. We were there for a few hours if not longer and I kept going back to this one spirit quartz. I didn’t purchase it that day because I needed to wait for payday.
So a week later I go in a find it’s not with the others, I’m looking a while. The lady who was always there, Katherine (we share the same name lol), asked what I was looking for. I told her how all week all I could think about was this spirit quartz and it was even in my dreams, but that someone must have bought it because it wasn’t here anymore.
She then pulls it out of a hiding place behind the register and says “I felt this one was looking for someone specific so I pulled it to keep it safe.”
I literally cried, of relief, happiness and gratitude.
Its still one of my favorite crystals!
Sometimes they find YOU themselves.
My story is i’d been wanting a Citrine for several years but hadn’t had any money to get one. Got a job at the mall (Hippy store) and not even a week into my job a customer comes in and pulls a stone from his pocket as we were talking and said he felt the strong need to give me this. Look into my hand and its a pale yellow citrine stone.
I was attracted to a labordorite point because it had the most amazing rainbows and I couldn’t buy it and the owner held on to it and gave it to me for my birthday
