Now that 2020 is (finally) over, it’s time to welcome the new year with positive vibes and certainty that this year will be better than last. Healing crystals are one way to help you embrace this time of year.
Many believe that healing crystals are a great way to remind you of your purpose, and bring good energies to aid you in your journey to becoming your highest self.
According to astrophysicist Carl Sagan in his book The Demon-Haunted World, crystal healing practices were used by many ancient civilizations, dating all the way back to the fabled land of Atlantis. Today, however, the practice is commonplace in spirituality. We created a list of five crystals to help you embrace the new year and bring the best to 2021.

As you might guess from the name, rainbow moonstone is a gorgeous crystal that emanates a variety of different colors which become more diverse the more you look at it. To be clear, this stone is actually not a variety of moonstone — instead, it got its name from its flamboyant appearance. It’s otherwise known as white labradorite.

Try using this stone in manifestation practices by holding it while you set intentions and visualize your highest self.
