Different Crystals and Their Meanings in Jewelry

Crystals have been used for millennia to bring spiritual and physical healing. In fact, legend has it that the people of Atlantis used crystals for telepathic communication. 

While this sort of use isn’t common anymore, different crystals retain their meaning. If you want to bring a specific energy into your life, you may opt for a jewelry piece with that crystal to manifest it better.

Let’s look at some of the most common crystals and their meanings.
