WHY CRYSTALS
Crystals are powerful tools often incorporated into rituals for their energetic and symbolic properties.
A crystal’s atomic structure provides a steady vibrational quality and their amplitude can be increased through heat and/or pressure in certain minerals. These pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties are well known in various industries. Quartz and tourmaline have long been used for their energetic abilities in products from hair dryers to clocks and even the basic BBQ lighter - crystals are incredible energetic tools. Their subtle, and not-so-subtle, frequencies can interact with the body’s own electrical field to stabilise, ground and uplift our energy. A crystals colour also produces various vibrational frequencies from the visible spectrum, connecting with us in their own unique way.
On a psychological level, crystals serve as physical totems that help anchor intentions. Holding or focusing on a crystal during a ritual creates a tangible connection to the goals you wish to manifest, enhancing mindfulness and reinforcing positive thought patterns. Science supports the power of symbolic practices—belief and focused attention can lead to measurable changes in mental and emotional states. Additionally, engaging with crystals in a ritual can activate the reticular activating system (RAS) in the brain, increasing awareness of opportunities and aligning actions with intentions. Whether seen as tools for energy alignment or psychological focus, crystals enrich rituals by grounding intentions and supporting personal transformation.
SCIENCE
Garnets are a group of silicate minerals with species ranging in colour from red, green and even colour change varieties.
Almandine garnet is the most common mineral variety and is prized for it's rich crimson hue. Often very dark or brownish, finding vivid red crystals are the most desirable.
Belonging to the cubic crystal system, these stones form in dodecahedrons, trapezohedrons and combinations of the two.
