Different types of healing crystals
Clear quartz
This white crystal is considered a “master healer.” It’s said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing, and regulating it. It’s also said to aid concentration and memory.

Selenite
DO NOT PLACE IN WATER! This is the standard charging/ cleasing crystal for all crystals! Selenite is said to be a powerful healing crystal that promotes peace and calm, mental clarity, and well-being. It's also believed by some that this crystal can remove negative energy and help you connect to higher realms. The spiritual meaning of this crystal is rejuvenation and divine feminine energy.

A gentle reminder that these are general spiritual uses of a few select crystals and its totally okay to use them in other ways as such as, decor, aesthetically and psychologically! You can buy a crystal simply because it's beautiful! Crystals are not a closed practice but lets remember to be mindful and respectful towards others beliefs and their specific practices, while crystals themselves are not a closed practice, there are practices within religions that involve crystals and are closed or sacred that should be respected and those should not be used aesthetically! :)
