There are many who are new to crystals and have had an occasional class that have been instructed to find a crystal of perfect proportion. This means there should be no imperfections, no inclusions, no obstructions, no cracks nor chips, and most importantly NO broken points. I will agree to this to a point. It is great to have a perfect crystal, perfectly clear with no damage, in fact, several would be nice. There is nothing wrong with that approach. However you would be hard pressed to find one out of ten crystals that have perfect proportion.

Let’s look at two of the neglected crystals and their properties.

The Empathic Crystal

This crystal comes to you perhaps severely damaged. It may be chipped, gouged, broken their points chipped or missing totally. You will be thankful to have one on the day you wake up perhaps depressed or feel unloved by family or a friend. When you have that feeling because your son or daughter has not called you or stopped by for some time, pick it up. What do you feel or hear? It says to you “I know how you feel, look at me, see how I have been treated. Guess what, I am still here. Life has treated me badly, but let me help you. Let me help to rescue you. Let me be your blankey”. They will clear the stress, in times of change they will help with transitions. Help with empathy towards others without the need to take on their pain. They will teach you to help others as well as yourself.

The Warrior Crystal

This crystal is related to the Empathic Crystal. In fact they may be one and the same. If you put the two side by side they will have the same or similar impurities, breaks, fractures, or broken tips. You can ask yourself, “Do I need empathy today, or do I need the warrior?” The Warrior says “I have been through a lot of battles. I was treated disrespectfully and abused many times. But look, you are holding me in your hand. I am still here. Let me help you with your wounds to help them heal. Stand up straight, be proud of who you are. You have been through the school of hard knocks and you are still here. Stand up and fight. Be strong physically and mentally”.

These two have much to offer you. Do not neglect them. Oh, and have that perfect crystal too.
