Crystals: More than just beautiful

Joelle Wallser, founder of The Rising Signs, talks us through some of the most powerful crystals on the market.

Welcome to the new stone age, where beautiful energy is abundant!


The world over, more and more people are embracing age-old mystical practices as go-to solutions for looking and feeling great. The rise in popularity within this booming part of the wellness and beauty industry is staggering. Have you tried yoga? Had a go at meditation or experienced a feeling of knowing (psychic vibes)? Do you read your stars or collect healing crystals? Treat yourself to a gua sha crystal face massage? Maybe you’ve watched Marie Kondo on Netflix or read The Celestine Prophecy? These exercises, pursuits and activities are all based on mystical practices. If you said yes to any of those questions, you are playing a part in the renaissance of the mystical services industry.


Modern mystics will be a big deal this year, with alternative beauty and wellness practices making it to the forefront of the mainstream. Pinterest reports a 100% increase for searches on protection crystals, for instance, as well as a 105 per cent increase in manifestation techniques – practices or daily rituals to help achieve your dreams and goals.


Being witchy has never been more normal. Not to infer that people are hexing their enemies and casting spells, but certainly, there’s a rise of the white witch with women being more aligned now to mystical services than ever before. The stigmas are less (witches are obviously no longer burned at the stake), the need is greater (the world is mental), and people are searching for a better way of life (hurrah!).

Crystals sit at the beating heart of mystical wellness, borne from the original Stone Age, when humans had to trust their intuition, live off the land and believe in energy as a force to be reckoned with. Using energy enriching gems, humans found power within their beauty and have continued to collect, use and wear them in all manner of rituals and ceremonies.


Whilst crystals and their healing properties have been around for thousands of years, in the last decade or so, they’ve been making a massive come back. It’s no wonder that the popularity of this beautiful earth-created treasure is finding its way into millions of pockets, bras, baths and bedside tables.


Of course, crystals can be tucked away or indeed, you can wear them front and centre. We’ve taken a quick look at some of the most powerful stones on the market and whether they come ‘tumbled’ (pocket-sized pieces), or in pendants or earrings or dangled on chains… Crystals are treasure, and they do more than just look good.


Amethyst

Amethyst

Introducing the absolute don of healing properties. Amethyst is possibly one of the most popular crystals on earth… Known for its mega healing and power of positivity, this stone resonates with the third eye chakra and enables focus and a fresh perspective. Controversially, these pieces of purple preciousness absorb and emit far-infrared radiation, which can contribute to easing pain. Carry or wear amethyst to optimum health and wellness.
