20 Crystals
These are the crystals that I acquired first when I started out working with crystals. I would recommend these to any beginner if you’re looking for somewhere to get started. As always, my opinion isn’t the end all be all (one could say it’s not set in stone) so feel free to adapt this list however you so choose! Note: these are put into alphabetical order
