Emerald Crystal

Crystal Healing Properties

Crystals are natural energy transmitters that are an important part of a healthy, holistic home. 

They are not overly expensive to buy, although some of the bigger clusters of amethyst and quartz can be a little pricey. It's not necessary to buy a large crystal, but if you can get one for a living, working or sleeping space, they are a worthwhile investment.
