Beyond the Basics: Crystal Shapes, Sacred Geometry, and Specialist Forms

by Laura Konst
Beyond the everyday shapes of towers, spheres, and palm stones lies a more specialised world of crystal forms: Merkabah crystals, Platonic Solids, Orgone devices, crystal skulls, flame shapes, and the honest earthiness of raw and rough specimens. This guide explores what each one is, what it is specifically suited for, and how to choose between them for your own practice.
