Crystal Animals Make Great

Valentine’s Day Gifts

Author: Lowry W. Mell

It’s easy to get stuck in the same old gift selection when Valentine’s Day rolls around. Men have a tendency to rely on the usual gift of roses, candy, heart shaped jewelry or cutesy cherub pins. After a few years, that can get pretty boring to that special someone.

Think outside the box, or in this case, outside the traditional gift zone. Give him or her a crystal animal figurine. After all, crystal is a valuable product that is pleasing to the eye and enjoyed and appreciated by both men and women. Select the right crystal animal and you’ll be amazed at the reaction when you give the gift.

Selecting the right crystal animal figurine isn’t that difficult. Most people have hobbies or special areas of interest or are fond of collecting something. Find a crystal animal that fits into one of those categories. A friend collects anything that has to do with cows. Things like pitchers, vases, ceramics and figurines are all items in her collection. Give her a crystal cow.

If that special someone is a pet or animal lover, consider giving a crystal dog or crystal cat. There are crystal animals available for just about any species of animal you want.

The important thing is the crystal animal must be meaningful to the person receiving it.

A fondness for a pet or animal is the key element here.

Crystal animals can be easily found on the internet, in local gift shops, card stores, second hand shops and privately owned pharmacies that carry gifts. The challenge is not where to find the crystal gift. It’s which crystal animal touches the heartstrings and brings joy to that special someone on Valentine’s Day.

Lynn Claridge asked:


Did you know that people collect energy like shelves collect dust?

Yes, it is true.

You are impacted everyday by energy in your environment just as we are impacted by pollution in the air.

However, the sad truth is that most of the energy out there is not positive, it is negative. Crystals help the environment in ways you will never see. Crystals work all the time to change the environment. Look around you during the day, how many happy smiling faces do you see? Not many, I fear. Many people in your environment have scowls on their faces, tears welling up in their eyes, or even worse a look of growling hatred in their eyes. When people are doing this, they are projecting negative energy out into the environment. If you are not careful, it could land on you! However, this is where the crystals and the environment start working together and when you are aware of the energy of crystals you can protect yourself from negative energy.

Have you ever noticed how low you feel after having a person around you that is negative?

Unfortunately, the world you live is burdened by pollution both physically and emotionally.

Having a negative environment or spending time in the company of those who are often angry, fearful or aggressive can leave you feeling low. Did you know you could clear this by having crystals around you?

Crystals can be great for those who leave themselves open to influences who feel a sense of frustration and helplessness with their situation or who feel increasingly unable to manage what they have got themselves into.

There are many different ways crystals are used, just as there are many different crystals with different purposes. However, let us just take the common Clear Quartz Crystal as an example. The Clear Quartz Crystal can be used for most problems appertaining to health or emotional feelings. You can find one of these in any metaphysical store or online.

Here are some of the ways you can use the power of crystals to ward off negative energy.

• Carry the crystal with you in your purse or pocket.

• Wear a crystal in a necklace or ring.

• Place a crystal under your pillow at night.

• Place a crystal in a bowl of water under your bed or discretely on your desk.

• Place a crystal on your desk or table with the point of the crystal facing the person who is sending out the negative energy.

• Place a crystal on your window-sill at home.

• Place some crystals in your bath water with you.

• Place crystal around the bath.

Crystal energy has some of the most powerful energy there is. Even a simple Clear Quartz Crystal is inexpensive and easy to obtain and it can do wonders to improve your mental, physical and emotional well-being.

If you use these suggestions you will see great results. All you need to do is believe and trust in the energy of the crystal.
