Crystals and Stones to Get Started With

Crystals and Stones to Get Started With 
There's so many crystals and stones out there. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the pretty sparklies. Which ones do you choose to get started? Here's a list of crystals and stones to get started with. These are generally easy to find and should be fairly affordable, usually not more than a few dollars per stone. You can choose tumbled or rough, it doesn't matter which. Size also doesn't matter. Bigger isn't necessarily better in this case. Any size will do. You don't have to get them all at once. This list just represents a fairly well rounded selection of crystals and stones that represent all the major colors of the rainbow as well as many of the most commonly recommended and used crystals and stones.

  • Garnet
  • Carnelian
  • Citrine
  • Green Aventurine
  • Fluorite
  • Moss Agate (optional, but a nice green stone)
  • Tree Agate (also optional, another nice choice for a green stone)
  • Blue Lace Agate
  • Sodalite 
  • Amethyst
  • Lepidolite (optional, but a nice additional purple stone to have; great for calming the mind)
  • Smoky Quartz
  • Rose Quartz
  • Selenite 
  • Tiger's Eye
  • Snowflake Obsidian
  • Fluorite (point, not required but it shows the many pretty colors Fluorite can take)
  • Blue Kyanite
  • Moonstone
  • Clear Quartz 
Not shown but also recommended:

  • Jasper (there's so many different Jaspers, choose one or more that you're drawn to)
  • Calcite (available in a variety of colors, can be included or substituted for any of the listed stones)
  • Black Tourmaline
