Nowadays, you don’t have to hit the metaphysical shop or a holistic healer to get your hands on a gorgeous, sparkling piece of crystal — TBH, all it takes is a trip to the home decor department of your favorite corporate mall stores. But crystals are meant to do so much more than just look pretty. They have energy and tons of purported healing abilities. So while they can certainly be trendy and pretty-lookin’ statement pieces for your apartment, there are also so many more unexpected ways to use healing crystals that you should try out.
