I have a small collection of crystals and semi precious gem stones. This January I took my toddler son to South Africa and we visited Scratch Patch. It was fantastic to buy a bag and fill it with all the crystals and semi precious gem stones that I wanted fro such a low price. When we got back to our guest house a man said they will be heavy to carry so I was foolish for getting them. They can cost one pound each in shops in my home country though.
My favorites are fluorite which is green or purple and very pretty, lapiz lazuli which is blue with white or gold color in it and obsidian snowflake which is black with white on it.
Some people are bound to love precious stones like diamonds, emeralds and rubies but those are expensive. Crystals and semi precious gem stones are far easier to afford.
Do you like crystals and semi precious gem stones?
If so do you have a favorite?

My favourite is amethyst, not only for it's beautiful purple colour, which incidentally is my favourite colour, but for its qualities. It's quite a calming stone in fact. I also like citrine... that's a very pretty, sparkly, yellow one.
Brightest Blessings, my friend.

I used to have a friend who was very interested in crystals and she told me a lot about the different crystals. I before I met her I didn't know much about crystals, I had no idea that there are so many different kinds of crystals, but my friend made me interested in this topic. When I finished high school I received a necklace with a rosa quartz as a present and for many years rosa quartz was my favourite crystal, but I also like other crystals for instanse aventurine, hematite and clear quartz.

I like Citrine and amethyst as Citrine is good for creativity and I do lot of writing and crafts, and Amethyst is good for relaxing which helps when I have trouble sleeping. I also like moonstone as it's just looks so nice and I actually found out it's meant to be good for stomach problems which I sometimes suffer with.

I find myself more drawn to the semi precious more than to the precious crystals.
I like quartzy things. I especially like the crystals in the rough - like a rock cut in half so the brilliance of the crystal contrasts with the insignificant looking rock.
I like fluorite as well... I also like peridot.
I am also attracted to geodes and other stones.
