The Benefits of Gifting Crystals
When you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone in your life, you can turn to the world of crystals. Throughout the ages, crystals have held places of esteem and honor in many cultures. From ancient Egypt to China to New Zealand, a gift of a crystal was seen as the perfect way to show your love for a person.
And even if your receiver doesn’t believe in the healing power of crystals, they will still appreciate them for their undeniable beauty. Plus, they will still benefit from the energies of the crystals!
So what else can you expect when gifting crystals to your friends and family? Let’s take a look!
It’s a chemical reaction!
No really—when you give a gift to someone, whatever it may be, you trigger a chemical reaction in the brain. And not just for the receiver but also for the giver!
There is evidence that suggests when you give or receive a gift, your brain releases “feel good” chemicals into the brain. You get a boost of serotonin (a mood-mediating chemical), dopamine (a feel-good chemical), and oxytocin (a compassion and bonding chemical).
The act of gift giving—and receiving—gives you a chemical boost that makes you feel great. But what happens when what you’re gifting is a healing crystal?
The power of gifting healing crystals
In addition to all these amazing physical sensations, when a crystal is gifted, the giver and the recipient get access to some amazing healing energy!
One of my favorite things about giving crystals to someone is that they don't have to understand how they work or believe that they will work—although I do love an opportunity to teach people all about crystals. All they need to do is be around them and everyone benefits. And if you happen to be giving a gift to a crystal lover then you already know they’re going to love it!
When we give a crystal to someone, we are re-gifting the gifts of beauty and healing Mother Earth has given us.
We are also giving more than just the crystal itself. Each crystal has its own special gift that comes with it when gifted depending on the crystal and its healing properties. There are also so many different ways to give crystals as presents.
How to give crystals as gifts
There are so many different ways to give crystals to other people. You can give a palm stone, a large display piece, a wand, or even a curated collection of crystals to help with a specific concern.
Another great way to give crystals to others is by gifting a beautiful piece of crystal jewelry. What I love about giving crystal jewelry is that the receiver will be able to keep that amazing healing energy with them wherever they go. Plus, they get a gorgeous piece of jewelry… who wouldn’t love that?!
You can also choose to give a crystal from your collection—this is a special way to add meaning to a gift. By selecting a crystal from your collection, you can share the story behind the crystal with the receiver and add a personal touch. Be sure to clear the crystal before passing it along.
But if you have a hard time letting go of any of your crystal beauties—trust me, I get it!—you can head to an online crystal shop or your local crystal store to pick out a crystal. Keep the intended receiver in your mind’s eye so that while shopping, you can find a crystal that resonates with them instead of you.
Let’s take a look at some crystals that are the perfect place to start for seasoned crystal lovers and those new to the crystal world. Plus, each of these crystals has a bonus gifting benefit that can’t be missed.
Rose Quartz
Surprising someone with a beautiful Rose Quartz gives that person the energy of self-love and compassion. When we feel love and compassion, we end up sharing that energy with others, intentionally or unintentionally! By gifting Rose Quartz, you are helping others spread love and harmony to all the people they interact with. How amazing is that?!
Agate
Gifting this beautiful grounding crystal brings the receiver calm and steady energy into their body, as well as into their living area or workspace. Agate energy helps the receiver tap into the patience to move through the hectic times life sometimes brings, as well as the confidence to know that they can get through anything! Confidence is great to have and for others to experience.
Satin Spar Selenite
Satin Spar Selenite is a powerful crystal gift. It's like a Russian nesting doll—so many layers of healing benefits to this variation of Gypsum! When someone receives this crystal, they are gaining a clear aura, clear space, and the ability to clear their other crystals, too. If you live with or are visiting a person who receives a gift of Satin Spar / Selenite, you too will have access to the same amazing and clearing energy—this makes it the perfect gift to give to a roommate!
Amethyst
Passing along a gift of Amethyst offers the receiver the opportunity to increase their intuition, peace, divine protection, and mental acuity. So many gifts in one crystal! Those that are part of the receiver's life also benefit indirectly from the Amethyst’s healing properties—peace begets peace.
These are only a few examples of how giving someone crystals is a multi-gifting act! If you're thinking of gifting a crystal and are not sure what to get, reach out to us at hello@sarabryki.com so we can help you pick the perfect crystal!
