Hi Mattstar

Amethyst is often the crystal that everyone gets drawn to at the start because it opens us out to energies in a very calm and protective way. It has a beautiful energy that resonates with nearly everyone :)

I'd totally agree with what Kundalini has posted, using a few at a time really maximises the effectiveness of them. Otherwise you can end up with loads of energy shifting going on that can cause difficulties.

The list you have picked is a lovely one, lots of upper work so do remember to ensure you've grounded before and after you work with them.

Azeztulite is the Melody name for Snow Quartz but with a pumped up price. Snow Quartz is a very under-rated little stone.

Sodalite is also a great stone for opening out and receiving messages.

Working with crystals is a lot of fun, enjoy your journey with them.

Kind blessings,
