      It is well-known that crystals get their colors from the different chemicals involved while the crystals are being formed. But the colors themselves influence the effect crystals have on us. It happens due to each colors’ different meanings and properties and also because different people experience different colors in their own way. You have probably heard that you do not choose a crystal, a crystal chooses you – the crystal that can and will help you will be the crystal that attracts you. If you need some help finding out what your favorite crystal color means and what it does, or if you are struggling to choose the crystal just for you, read on.
