Spiritual meanings for various shapes of Crystals

Natural Shapes.

Raw

Raw natural stones are formed underneath the Earth and have different shapes and sizes. Due to weathering and exposure to water, wind, and other elements, the shapes of these stones change over time.

Matrix

Raw crystals can grow embedded in a rock or mineral. When they are extracted, the host material may still be attached. When the host material becomes part of a crystal, the material is called a matrix. It is rare to find a crystal that has blended spectacularly with its matrix. So a crystal on a matrix that displays a combination of colors is considered more desirable, therefore harder to find and buy.

Unpolished

Crystals extracted straight from the mine also come in various shapes depending on their internal crystal structure. This fixed structure is determined by the ordered arrangement (i.e. lattice) of atoms, ions, or molecules present in the crystal. The crystal structure also dictates how the crystal will grow. Both natural and polished points are used as energy tools in crystal rituals. They are beneficial in radiating light, manifesting intentions faster, and releasing positive energies.

Tumbled stones

Tumbled stones are small and perfectly polished portions from a Crystal material. Tumbled stones are used in alternative medicine, energy healing, meditation, Feng Shui, and manifesting luck.
