What are Raw Crystals?

When a crystal is sleeping in the womb of mother earth, the energy vibrations around it are unique and special. Miners dig it out, cleanse it and send it to collectors for sale. During that process, the crystal has been dug out of nature’s womb and hence the energy has changed drastically.

Raw Crystals Meanings can be explained as the most native or natural form of a crystal.

Pros of Raw Crystals

As rough stones in their natural form are unaltered, it is pure and unblemished. It contains unadulterated energies and can be really powerful as it’s not refined. You can use it for a variety of crystal rituals seamlessly.

The magical powers of a natural pointe exceed the powers of a polished crystal wand as it is designed by nature to be a wand, unlike the other crystal. Sometimes, polishing forces a crystal to make unnatural shapes too, which creates conflicting energies.

Cons of Raw Crystals

The biggest problem with raw gemstones in their natural form is that they are sharp and needs cleansing, physically and spiritually. It can harm your skin and cause injuries if you wear a raw crystal jewelry that is sharp at the edges.

Always check the jewelry by rubbing your hand on the raw crystal jewelry if it’s right for wearing before you do so.

What are Polished Crystals?

A gemstone in its raw form is collected by jewelers to polish it. They can be cut into desired shapes. Moreover, often a raw crystal is found in a bed of impurities. There are stories where you clean the impurities weighing a pound or two and end receiving a crystal of just a carat or two. That’s why, you never know the purity of a raw crystal, until you polish it.

Pros of Polished Crystals

Polished gemstones are easy to use for crystal rituals. They pose little to no danger when wearing unless you wear a cracked stone. Moreover, polished stones such as crystal wands are easy to focus energy when you’re working with a crystal grid.

Cons of Polished Crystals

Altered energy of polished crystals makes it slightly different from the polished variety of gemstones. Rough crystals often contain powerful energy that is not altered, hence ideal for special crystal rituals too.  

What about a Raw Crystal Cluster? How powerful is it?

A crystal cluster is a natural form of gemstone clustered with the power of multiple points into one. “Clusters made of crystals combine diverse energies at once”.

An Aragonite Crystal Cluster, when kept on your desk, can help you clear energy blocks in a wink. On the other hand, a Black Quartz Cluster Crystal is excellent to dispel the negative energies aimed at you. When you use a Cluster of Amethyst Crystal, it grounds you to think straight without confusions.

A beautiful cluster, Celestite Crystal Cluster is ideal to communicate with angelic beings. Using a Clear Quartz Cluster Gemstone can help you purify the energy at your home and keep it clean all the time.

Is a Geode a Raw Crystal?

Hollow gemstones often exist with sparkly substances. Without the shimmer, it’s not a geode. A geode means earth like which exist with druzy hollow cavities. They are ideal to recharge, cleanse and activate or program gemstones powerfully.

“Geodes are harmonizing gemstones with a unique identity”. They are extremely powerful and ideal for crystal users who don’t have time to cleanse or recharge a large number of stones.
