There are a variety of choices when it comes to the shapes of a crystal.

You are in the right place if you want to learn more about the basics of crystal shapes and varieties. This article will help as a guide to the best Crystal & Gemstone shape options for you. This is the first article in a three-part series.

The two specific types to be discussed here are Single-Terminated and Double-Terminated Crystals. These are long crystals with a point on one side or a point on both sides.

The Shape

There are natural shapes that are more raw and there are cut shapes.

The Size

Crystal size plays the role of an amplifier. The larger the crystal the stronger its frequency has to harmonize you: the mind-body-spirit, your momentum, and your Flow.

Crystals with a Pointed End

Excellent for beginners, these crystals are called “Crystal Points” and “Single-Terminated”.

The point is used to focus and project “thought energy” through the Crystal as you use it. The point can be turned towards to project energy towards you or in another direction to focus it outwardly.

It is meant to work with a specific, positive thought, wish, desire, intention.

This is a powerful Crystal Shape because after you place it away in the room it will continue to project out your thought energy into the space. So remember to focus on what you want (not what you don't want or wish to avoid). Just what you want and release all non-positive thoughts when using this crystal. Once the crystal knows your wish/desire/outcome then the Universal energies go to work on doing the Universe-side for creating your desire for you.

A Quartz Crystal is a great type for a beginner Crystal Point. The Crystal point is an energy focusing amplifier so keep this in mind, the material to select would match the inner wish you have to fulfill. It matches the outcome that you want. If it is a partner, self-confidence, success, then keep these in mind when choosing the specific Crystal & Gemstone for example, Rhodochrosite, Tiger Eye, Lapis Lazuli.

Crystals with Both Ends Pointed

These are special Crystals because of how they form.

“Double-Terminated” Crystals are a physical representation of the giving & receiving Natural Laws of the Universe.

Because they have natural points on both ends the Crystal has the power to absorb and send energy from both sides. For example in a partnership/relationship this Double-Terminated Crystal can unite two people. It is also able to unite two ideas together.

Double-Terminated Crystal Points are used in more advance techniques such as Chakra Healing and Chakra Opening. They are used in Meditation and Yoga. These double pointed crystals are used in physical healing of the body.
