How to Pick the Right Crystal Gift

Think about where it will live. A lamp or candle holder is ideal for someone who loves a cozy home. Tumbled stones and small carvings suit collectors and people with limited space. Bracelets are personal and easy to wear every day.

Choose by color. Purple amethyst, pink rose aura quartz and opal, gold pyrite and white selenite each bring a different mood to a room. If you know their favorite color or their decor style, you are halfway there.

Mix and match. Bundle a tumbled stone with a cluster, or a bracelet with a pair of spheres, for a custom gift set that feels much bigger than its price tag. Because every crystal is natural, color, size and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece, and that is part of the charm.

Plan for wrapping. Small stones fit in a drawstring pouch or a little jar. Clusters and towers look lovely nestled in tissue paper. Lamps arrive ready to plug in, so they are gift-ready right out of the box.
