Some crystals encourage you to do WORK and some crystals allow you to REST. One way to think about it is like exercise. If you go to the gym and hire a trainer you are going to WORK on the topic of exercise. If you sit down with a cup of green tea and journal about your exercise routine, you are still on the topic of exercise, but now you are RESTING.
The same is true for crystals. If you are ready to get sweaty and do energetic work, use a working crystal like Pietersite, Malachite (pictured), or Dumortierite. If you would like a chance to rest your energetic body, or provide relief to a specific chakra, use a resting crystal like Moonstone, Howlite, or Chrysoprase.
People often mislabel working crystals as more powerful than resting crystals. This is a misunderstanding! Resting crystals can be just as powerful, it is just that they don’t tire us out when we use them!
Just like being at the gym, working crystals should be used with periods of rest in between. Resting crystals can be worn all the time, as they provide gentle support.
