FAQ: Crystals by Origin
Are crystals from certain countries more powerful?
Power is personal. Some regions are famous for exceptional quality or unique formations, which can feel more potent. What matters most is authenticity, your intention, and how you connect with the stone. We recommend exploring both origin and how a piece feels to you.
How do I know if a crystal’s stated origin is real?
Purchase from reputable sources. At Crystals.com, origin details are shared when known and based on direct supplier and mine relationships rather than guesswork. We do not label a stone with a prestigious locality unless we have confidence in that information.

Start simple: a Brazilian clear quartz point, an Uruguayan amethyst cluster, or a pink heart-healing stone from our Under $50 collection. Then explore our Crystals by Origin guide as your collection grows.
