What Are Crystals… and Where Do They Come From? Part One

Have you ever held a crystal and thought,
“This feels kind of… magical?”
You’re not wrong — crystals really are special.

Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible.

💎 What Are Crystals?

Crystals are natural stones formed deep inside the Earth over thousands — even millions — of years.

They begin as hot liquids or gases trapped underground, and as they cool down very slowly, they turn solid and grow into beautiful, organized shapes.

Crystals are different from regular rocks because their inside structure is super neat and perfectly repeated — like nature’s version of a perfectly organized closet.

This perfect structure gives them steady, stable energy.
(And that becomes important later!)

🌍 Where Do Crystals Come From?

Crystals grow all over the world, depending on what minerals are in the ground.

A few fun examples:

• Amethyst → Brazil, Uruguay

• Rose Quartz → Madagascar, South Dakota, Brazil

• Citrine → Formed in hot underground pockets

• Black Tourmaline → Grows in old lava tubes

Mother Earth basically “cooks” them using:

• heat

• pressure

• minerals

• and lots & lots of TIME

So when you hold a crystal, you’re literally holding a piece of Earth’s ancient history.

Pretty cool, right?
