Ashley Leavy, a crystal healer from the United States, had attested the efficacy of these babies
Another crystal lady from the US, Hibiscus Moon, also advocates the use of crystals not only to fulfill your heart's desire, but also for spiritual development
If you are looking for love and romance, you can wear the following stones:
**Rose Quartz**
**Rhodonite**
**Ruby**
**Rhodochrosite**
In another light, Pink and Green Quartz correspond to the heart chakra (aka [Anahata] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anahata))
[Chakra] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra) is a Sanskrit word for vortex. It is the unseen energy centers of your body. If there's an imbalance in your chakras, you can get sick, feel fatigued, and even irritated.
For luck, career and success in business, you can wear the following stones:
**Jade**
**Citrine**
**Green Aventurine**
**Garnet**
**Tiger's Eye**
For protection against negative vibes and bad intentions, you should wear or keep the following stones:
**Black Tourmaline**
**Labradorite**
**Smokey Quartz**
**Onyx**
**Obsidian**
**Blue Kyanite**
However, the effectiveness of crystals depend on your willpower, they say. These babies will only amplify your intention.
Crystals, in other words, serve as your antenna so that you can send that "signal" or your intentions and wishes to the Universe, and the Universe, in return, will make it happen!
Where can you get these beauties?
There are lots of crystal sellers in the Philippines and they are selling them in chunks, tumbled or jewelry form at a very affordable price.
[Healing Crystals and Gemstones Makati] (https://www.facebook.com/HealingCystalGemstone/?fref=ts), for example, sells affordable crystals and other accessories. You can also purchase beautiful stones from [Inner Healing and Peace] (https://www.facebook.com/Inner-Healing-and-Peace-516064531836077/?fref=ts). Or in [*Biyaya ni Bathala*] (https://www.facebook.com/BiyayaNiBathalaEarthShop/?fref=ts) Earthshop.
Are you living abroad and planning to buy crystals online? You can check out online stores like eBay. But, just be careful when shopping online. There are many unscrupulous sellers nowadays who are selling fake crystals!
Here are some videos how to identify fake crystals from genuine ones:
However, let me make a disclaimer here:
Just because of the natural order of things, some may or may not work for you. Owning a crystal does not guarantee success in your relationship, work, or business. It will take some faith and willpower for you to tap the "power" of these gifts from Mother Earth. Furthermore, crystals are not to be used as alternative for professional healthcare and advise.
