We are allowed to fail and learn from that, we are not born with knowledge, is okay to not know things, don’t beat yourself bc of that! Enjoy school, with or without friends, with or without good grades, you can always look to the positive side

There is a lot of information when it comes to crystals, shapes, lattice patterns, do's, don'ts, pairings, etc. This is the start of lessons on crystals.
Crystal Lattice Patterns
The six crystal lattice patterns include the following:
HEXAGONAL crystals have an interior structure that resembles a 3-D hexagon. Hexagonal crystals help with manifestation.
ISOMETRIC crystals have an interior cubic structure. These crystals can improve situations and amplify energies.
MONOCLINIC crystals have a 3-D parallelogram structure. They are protective crystals. ORTHORHOMBIC crystals have a diamond-shaped crystalline pattern. They cleanse, clear, and remove blockages.
TETRAGONAL crystals have a rectangular interior structure. These crystals are attractors; they make things more attractive and they help you attract things to you.
TRICLINIC crystals have an interior structure with three inclined axes. These crystals ward off unwanted energies or help retain energies you’d like to keep.
Shapes
You can find crystals cut into many different shapes, including spheres and polyhedrons, which have varying properties. Working with stones cut into these shapes will impart the properties of both the crystal and the sacred shape.
DODECAHEDRON The dodecahedron is associated with the element of the Ethers and connects you to intuition and higher realms.
HEXAHEDRON The hexahedron, or cube, represents the element of Earth. It is grounding and stable.
ICOSAHEDRON The icosahedron is linked to the element of Water. It connects you to change and flow.
MERKABA The merkaba is a 3-D star. It contains all five of the above polyhedrons within it and therefore combines all the effects of each. It is also associated with the energy of sacred truth and eternal wisdom.
OCTAHEDRON The octahedron represents the element of Air and promotes compassion, kindness, forgiveness, and love.
SPHERE The sphere has the energy of completeness, wholeness, and oneness.
Common stones that can't get wet include:
amber, turquoise, red coral, fire opal, moonstone, calcite, kyanite, kunzite, angelite, azurite, selenite. A good rule of thumb: Many stones that end in “ite” are not water-friendly.
Here are some of the stones that should be kept for only a short time in the sun with partial shade, if at all, for a quick five-minute charge. Or better yet, charge them under the full moon, even if it’s cloudy.
Amegreen - The color will fade when the sun too long. Made up of amethyst and prasiolite (green amethyst)
Amethyst - A member of the quartz family. Color will fade in the sun since the color comes from the iron in it.
Ametrine - The color will fade when in sun too long. Made up of amethyst and citrine.
Apatite - The color will fade in the sun.
Apophyllite - Can become brittle in the sun and color can fade.
Aquamarine - Direct sunlight will fade the blue to white if kept too long.
Auralite 23 - Primarily composed of amethyst, so it can fade.
Aventurine - A member of the quartz family and can fade in color.
Beryl - Can fade and get brittle in the sun.
Calcite - Can fade and get brittle in the sun.
Celestite - The blue will turn to white in the sun and get brittle and possibly break.
Chrysoprase - A member of the quartz family, it’s a green chalcedony, and it can fade or get brittle and crack.
Citrine - Since it’s a form of quartz, it will fade to a clear color within 4 hours in the sun
Clear Quartz - Can only withstand about 2 hours in the sun. Can get brittle and crack or break.
Fluorite - No more than 15 minutes in the sun. Gets very hot.
Hiddenite - The color will fade.

Topaz - The color will fade when kept in the sun for more than 8 hours. A yellow topaz will turn brown and a deeper color topaz will turn maroon.
Thought I'd make an information / appreciation post on "fake" crystals, using mine as examples. I buy them because I don't mind what something's made of if I think it's pretty 😂 although many people prefer to avoid them. Regardless, it's good to be informed.
Overly saturated, candy-colored agate and quartz tends to be dyed. Howlite is often dyed blue to pass as turquoise.
Opalite and goldstone are glass. While blue and green obsidian can occur naturally, if it looks like glass, it's probably glass 😂
Citrine tends to be heat-treated amethyst, and red tiger's eye also tends to be heat-treated. Very dark smokey quartzs also.
Aura/ rainbow quartzs, rainbow hematite, etc, are coated with different metals to give them their magical looking color shift.
Almost every 30 days, there is a full moon out and at this point it’s the perfect opportunity to charge crystals with the moon. Because of this rather rare occurrence, it’s something that people who use crystals on the regular should be taking advantage of.
Charging crystals overall is a smart thing to consider if you haven’t done that already. Crystals are great tools for both business with clients, but also for self use too. As such crystals powers do get drained and thus charging them is required. Today we’ll take you step by step how to charge crystals with the moon.
Wash The Crystals Well
You don’t need to go through a full cleansing ritual for this first step, a simple rinse under a faucet will work nicely. Although what is better is using the ocean or a stream if there is one in around your area. Regardless, make sure that you rinse them gently. For more effectiveness, do this step the day before the full moon.
Set The Crystals Out
The optimal time is to put them out just after the sunset out on a natural surface. However if a natural surface isn’t available (i.e. you have animals in your backyard that come out at night) then place them on a neutral surface outside. The last resort is by a window where the crystals can get direct moonlight.
Once you are ready to set them out, take each crystal and announce what you want to let go of in your life. You can repeat the same sentence for each crystal or you can pick something else for each one, but don’t name off more than five different things at a time.
After that you let them bathe in the moonlight.
Pull Them Back In The Morning
Having the crystals charge up from the suns energy after a full moon is a good practice however don’t do it for too long. A good rule of thumb is pull them back in just after sunrise.
Charge Your Crystals With Intentions
After the charging is done, the next thing you want to do is charge the crystals more with your intentions. Charging crystals with the moon is powerful, however by using your intentions at the end will help the energies to focus.
You have the choice on how you want to charge your crystals, either individually or by a collective group. There’s no right or wrong way so follow your instincts on what you want to do.
