All About Crystals: Comprehensive Guide to Gemstones

Hey there, crystal enthusiasts! Travis here, your trusty guide to all things sparkly and spectacular. If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over the term “crystals” and what it really means in the world of crafting and spirituality, you’re not alone. The word “crystals” can encompass a wide range of materials, from natural gemstones to glass beads and everything in between. In this guide, we’re diving deep into the world of crystals to clear up the confusion once and for all. So grab your magnifying glass and sense of adventure – let’s embark on a crystal-clear journey together!

What Are Crystals?

At its most basic definition, a crystal is a solid material whose atoms are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. This precise arrangement gives crystals their unique properties, including clarity, hardness, and ability to refract light.

Are Crystals Natural?

Yes, many crystals occur naturally in the Earth’s crust through geological processes such as cooling and solidification of molten rock or the evaporation of mineral-rich solutions. You’ll find natural crystals in various forms, including tumbled gemstones, crystal points, clusters, and more. We stock an amazing array of beads carved from these crystal pieces.

Crystals vs Gemstones: What’s the Difference?

We tend to use the words “crystals” and “gemstones” interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two. Crystals technically refers to a solid material with a highly ordered atomic structure for example, while gemstones specifically means minerals or rocks.

In the world of jewellery making and crafts, this can cause some confusion when people looking for rhinestones, Preciosa bicones, amethyst beads, tumbled stones, citrine points, chandelier components, faceted glass beads, and even pointy diamantes. When someone asks “where are your crystals” we don’t have enough arms between us to point in all the directions at once.

We tend to refer to the natural stuff (like Lapis beads, tumbled agate, and quartz wands) as gemstones, and Swarovski, glass faceted beads and diamantes as crystals, just to lessen the confusion.

Crystals and Gemstones are available from Beads N Crystals Australia
Shop Gemstones and Crystals

The Many Faces of Crystals:

Crystals come in a dazzling array of forms, each with their own unique allure and energy. Whether you’re drawn to the smooth, comforting feel of tumbled gemstones, the sharp precision of crystal points, or the captivating beauty of crystal clusters, there’s a crystal for every purpose and preference. These diverse formations not only reflect the natural wonders of the Earth but also serve as powerful tools for healing, manifestation, and spiritual growth. Let’s explore the captivating world of crystals and uncover their hidden depths together!

Tumbled Gemstones: Tumbles are natural gemstones that have been polished in a tumbler to make smooth, rounded shapes. They’re the ones kids, including kidults like me, like to collect.

Crystal Points: These natural beauties are fascinating! You’ll usually see natural citrine, quartz and amethyst gemstone points, although some other gems are cut into points as well. They’re often used by healers for their energy and meditation powers, or as decorative accents.

Crystal Clusters: These formations consist of multiple crystal points growing together, creating intricate and beautiful arrangements that are said to amplify the energy of the crystals.

Gemstone Beads: These are natural or synthetic gemstones that have been drilled and shaped into beads for use in jewellery making and crafting. Some gemstones like Malachite and Larimar are quite expensive in their natural form, so they are often copied. The synthetic versions are much cheaper, but lack the properties and luxurious appeal of the real thing.

Glass Crystal Beads: These are man-made beads crafted from glass but designed to mimic the sparkle and brilliance of natural crystals. They’re popular for adding glamour and shine to jewellery designs.

Swarovski and Preciosa Crystals: These are premium-quality crystal beads manufactured by renowned European brands known for their exceptional clarity, brilliance, and precision-cut facets. They’re prized by jewellery designers and costumers for their unparalleled sparkle and beauty.

Crystal Chandelier Parts: These are specialised crystal components used in the construction of chandeliers and other lighting fixtures. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, adding a touch of elegance to any space.

Exploring Crystal Meanings and Metaphysical Properties:


Many people are attracted to crystals not only for their beauty but also for their reputed metaphysical properties, believed to influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Each crystal is said to have its own unique energy and healing properties, making them powerful tools for personal growth and transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crystals:

1. Are Crystals Natural or Man-Made?

Crystals can be both natural and man-made. Some are even man-made from natural stones. Natural crystals form through geological processes over millions of years. Man-made crystals are usually created in laboratories using methods like melting and cooling, or they can be grown through chemical synthesis. Many synthetic gemstones utilise other gemstones or minerals in their production process.

2. How Do I Cleanse and Charge My Crystals?

There are several methods for cleansing and charging crystals, including:

  • Rinse them under running water.
  • Smudge them with sage or palo santo smoke.
  • Place them in sunlight or moonlight for a few hours.
  • Bury them in the earth for a day or two.
  • Use sound vibrations from singing bowls or bells.

3. What Are the Benefits of Using Crystals?

Lots of people believe in the metaphysical powers and properties of crystals. Some of the benefits include:

  • Balancing and aligning energy centres (chakras).
  • Enhancing meditation and spiritual practices.
  • Providing protection from negative energy.
  • Promoting emotional healing and well-being.
  • Amplifying intentions and manifestation efforts.

4. How Can I Tell if a Crystal Is Genuine?

Some tips for identifying genuine crystals include:

  • Researching the properties and characteristics of the specific crystal.
  • Examining its colour, clarity, and texture.
  • Checking for natural imperfections and inclusions.
  • Testing its hardness and density (if possible).
  • Purchasing from reputable sellers or sources.

Remember, many online sellers looking to make a quick buck will pass off synthetic stones as the real thing. Some even substitute one for another. For example it’s common for some online sellers to provide agate when a customer orders obsidian. Many people won’t know the difference, and they can make extra money sending a lower cost product. At Beads N Crystals, we have many years of experience selling gemstones, so we know what we’re dealing with. Our reputation and repeat business are the key to our success. We never supply low cost or imitated products as the real thing.

5. Can Crystals Help with Healing and Meditation?

Many people believe that crystals have healing properties and can support meditation efforts. Although scientific evidence is not extensive, many individuals find that working with crystals personally promotes relaxation, relieves stress, and enhances overall well-being based on their own experiences. It’s important to note that crystals should not replace medical treatment, but rather complement holistic practices.

The term “crystals” encompasses a diverse array of materials, each with their own unique characteristics and uses. Whether you’re drawn to the natural beauty of gemstones, the sparkle of glass crystal beads, or the precision-cut brilliance of Swarovski crystals, there’s something pretty magical about incorporating crystals into your life and creative endeavours. So go ahead, explore the fascinating world of crystals and let their beauty and energy inspire you on your journey of self-discovery and creativity.

March VIP Free Gift

A Strand of 8mm Round Red Sponge Coral Beads valued at $16!

For centuries, red coral beads have been a symbol of opulence and wealth. The typical process was to dive into reefs and hack the coral out. This is not ‘that’ kind of coral! This is Sponge Coral, also known as sea sponge or bamboo coral. Unlike the hard red coral used in traditional coral beads, sponge coral has a softer, porous structure that resembles the texture of natural sea sponges.

Most hard coral beads of the past are no longer available as the harvesting of sea coral is generally illegal, and obviously has a devastating effect on reef ecosystems. Our sponge coral beads are made of specifically grown sponge coral from specialist farms. This means there are no harsh ecological effects on sea reefs caused by the production of our beads.

This month, VIP members get a strand of ethically sourced Sponge Coral beads (a $16 total value) for FREE month with any purchase of $10 or more.

This brings the total value of gifts for 2024 to $68, and we’re only in month 3!

From personalised keychains to boho beaded anklets, there’s no shortage of ways to turn your leftover treasures into new and exciting creations. Let’s dive in and give those beads a second life filled with creativity and charm!

1. Personalised Keychains:

Use your leftover letter beads to spell out initials, names, or meaningful words on beading wire or elastic cords. Add colourful spacer beads for a pop of personality, finish it off with a keychain finding and voila – you’ve got custom keychains to gift to friends or attach to your backpack!

2. Boho Beaded Anklets:

String together leftover spacer beads and colourful discs on elastic cord to create trendy boho-inspired anklets. Mix and match colours and patterns to match your summer wardrobe and add a touch of Swiftie flair to your beach look.

3. Music-Inspired Bookmarks:

Channel your love for Taylor Swift’s iconic songs into handmade bookmarks. String together letter beads to spell out your favorite song lyrics or album titles, and embellish with coordinating spacer beads. Hang them off a bookmark finding and you’re all done! It’s a fun way to keep your place in your favorite reads while paying homage to your favorite artist.

4. Inspirational Quote Bracelets:

Get inspired by Taylor Swift’s empowering lyrics and create bracelets featuring uplifting quotes or messages. Use a mix of letter beads and colourful spacers to spell out words like “Fearless,” “Brave,” or “Kindness.” Wear them as a daily reminder to stay strong and true to yourself.

5. Pet Collar Charms:

Treat your furry friends to some Swiftie style with homemade pet collar charms. Spell out their names or nicknames using leftover letter beads, and add cute spacer beads for extra flair. Attach them to their collars for a touch of personalised bling.

6. Upcycled Hair Accessories:

Give plain hair ties or clips a makeover with leftover beads and cords. Wrap elastic cords or wrapping wire around hair ties and thread on colourful spacer beads for a bohemian-chic vibe. Or glue letter beads onto bobby pins to create custom hair accessories featuring your favorite Swiftie phrases.

7. Donation Station Reminder:

Remember, if you find yourself with more supplies than you can craft with, don’t let them go to waste! Consider donating your leftover beads, cords, and threads to our Crafting Sustainability recycling bin in-store. Your generosity will help support local schools and charities, providing them with much-needed crafting supplies to spark creativity in the community community.

Discover 8 Must-Know Findings Hacks for Stunning Jewellery Designs!

Hey there, bead buddies! Travis here, your crafty companion and resident Website Wizard at Beads N Crystals. Today, we’re delving into the underrated world of jewellery findings – those magical little components that hold our creations together and make them shine! But wait, there’s more! I’ve also sprinkled in some cost-saving hacks to help you stretch your crafting budget further. Let’s dive in!

Lets demystify the term “findings.” In our crafty world of jewellery making, findings are like the unsung heroes – they’re the essential components that bring your creations together. Think of them as the nuts and bolts of your jewellery projects. Findings encompass a wide range of small but crucial pieces, think clasps, jump rings, ear wires, head pins, crimps, and more. They’re what you use to connect different elements of your design, secure closures, and add those finishing touches that make your pieces shine.

So, whether you’re crafting earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or any other type of jewellery, you’ll likely find yourself reaching for findings to complete your masterpiece. They may be small, but they play a big role in ensuring your creations are both beautiful and functional. They’re not only essential, they can be used to add a pop of creativity to your designs too!

The Magic of Jewellery Findings: Unlocking Your Creativity:

First things first, let’s talk about the unsung heroes of jewellery making – findings! From clasps and jump rings to ear wires and crimp beads, these tiny treasures are the backbone of our creations. They not only keep everything in place but also add that finishing touch of elegance. So, let your creativity soar as you explore the endless possibilities of jewellery findings!

Hack #1: Multipurpose Jump Rings – One Ring to Rule Them All:

Say goodbye to cluttered craft drawers! Did you know that jump rings can be manipulated and re-sized? Plus they can double as connectors for multiple strands of beads? Simply manipulate the shape of larger jump rings using your round nose pliers and trim the excess to make a ring a size or two. Bend a jump ring so there are two V shapes pointing in toward each other. Manipulate the ring and the V shapes so that the points almost touch, leaving you with an almost figure-8-shaped wire. This new connector you’ve created can be used to hold a two-strand bracelet together at intervals in your design.

Hack #2: DIY Ear Wires – Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary:

Turn your styles up a notch with homemade ear wires! All you need is some sturdy wire and a pair of round-nose pliers. By crafting your own ear wires, you not only customise the style but also cut down on costs compared to purchasing pre-made ones. Some craft wire in a 20 or 22 gauge and a wire jig will make this process a breeze.

Hack #3: Creative Clasp Alternatives:

Don’t limit yourself to traditional clasps! Get creative with alternative closure options such as toggle clasps, magnetic clasps, or even decorative buttons. These unique closures not only add visual interest to your designs but also offer practicality and ease of use. Make your own clasps using a ring of seed beads and a stick pearl as a toggle, or wrap your own wire s-hooks.

Hack #4: Clasp Upgrade – From Basic to Bling:

Give your designs a touch of luxury without breaking the bank! Transform basic clasps into dazzling closures by embellishing them with small Swarovski crystals or seed beads. It’s a cost-effective way to add a hint of glamour to your creations.

Wire Guardians Example

Hack #5: Wire Guardians – The Unsung Heroes of Durability:

Protect your stringing material and prevent wear and tear with wire guardians. These small findings may seem insignificant, but they play a crucial role in extending the lifespan of your jewellery pieces. Plus, they add a professional finish to your designs.

Hack #6: Bulk Buying Bonanza – Saving in Style:

Stock up on your favorite findings by purchasing in bulk! Many of our products have additional quantity discounts, allowing you to save money in the long run. Just make sure to store them properly to prevent tarnish and damage. VIP members and wholesale clients have access to great additional savings on findings too.

Hack #7: Repurpose and Recreate – Finding New Life in Old Findings:

Get creative with your findings by repurposing old or broken jewellery pieces. Salvage clasps, jump rings, and other components to breathe new life into your designs. It’s eco-friendly and budget-friendly – a win-win!

For any crafting pieces you can’t make use of, give them a new life through a range of community groups via our craft recycling bin.

So there you have it, bead addicts – a treasure trove of jewellery findings wisdom paired with some savvy cost-saving hacks. Now go forth and craft with confidence, knowing that you’ve got the skills and smarts to create stunning jewellery pieces without breaking the bank.

Heart-to-Heart Crafting: A Sparkling Swarovski Love Affair for Valentine’s Day!

Hey, fabulous bead enthusiasts! Travis in the house – your go-to craft maestro and lover of all things sparkly. Guess what’s approaching at warp speed? Yep, you got it—Valentine’s Day! And I’m here to guide you on an epic journey to create the most dazzling, heartwarming gifts imaginable.

1. Dive into the World of Swarovski Hearts:

Brace yourself for a glittering adventure! Our Swarovski crystal heart pendants are a symphony of charm, coming in various shapes and sizes. Whether you fancy a delicate dazzler or a bold centrepiece, our heart collection has your creative cravings covered. There are also Swarovski heart beads and the famous Love bead along with many other gorgeous pendants.

As you know, they’re all out of production and off the market, so for a truly rare and exclusive gift, grab a heart to steal a heart before they’re gone forever! Don’t actually steal though, the boss has cameras and he’s onto it! We don’t want anyone sentenced to love as they say!

2. Mix and Match with Crystal Beads:

Ready to take your creation to the next level? Explore the universe of possibilities by mixing Swarovski crystal hearts with our stunning crystal beads. It’s like curating your own love story in crystal form—each piece complementing the other in perfect harmony.

Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love, promoting compassion, tenderness and emotional healing. If the pink is a little wishy-washy for you, turn it up a notch with rich purple amethyst. It’s said to foster deep connections and understanding between partners. To ignite passion, sensuality and commitment, consider red garnet, or to promote feminine energy and intuition, moonstone is your go-to.

3. Sterling Silver Chains – Because Every Heart Deserves a Home:

Now, let’s talk real estate for your sparkly treasures. Our sterling silver chains aren’t just accessories; they’re the VIP suites for your crystals. Choose a chain that speaks to your heart (pun intended) and gives your creation the showcase it deserves. If you’re simply hanging a single heart, the can be no more elegant look than a simple silver chain.

On the other hand, if you’re hooked on gems or other beads, Flex-Rite beading wire is the best option for stringing a necklace. Drop in to our bead shop and we’ll hook you up with the essentials to turn your vision into reality!

4. Gift Boxes, Because Presentation is Everything:

You know what they say – presentation is key! Show off your crafted masterpiece in our elegant gift boxes. It’s not just a box; it’s the grand entrance your creation deserves. Unwrapping it becomes an experience, building anticipation and excitement.

5. Heart Stickers and Sequins – Because More Sparkle, More Love:

What’s a crafting adventure without a playful tough? Sprinkle extra love and sparkle with our heart stickers and sequins. It’s like adding a dash of magic dust to your creation, making it truly enchanting.

6. Crafting Date Night – Because Why Not?:

Turn your crafting session into a romantic date night! Grab some delectable snacks, cue up your favorite tunes, and let the creativity flow. Crafting together not only doubles the fun but also creates cherished memories.

8. Share the Love – Social Media Style:

Spread the joy! Once your creation is complete, flaunt it on social media. Tag us, share your crafting journey, and inspire others to embark on their own beading adventure. It’s like creating a ripple effect of love and creativity.

So, my bead buddies, gear up for a Valentine’s Day crafting escapade filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of sparkle. Dive into our Swarovski wonderland before it’s gone forever, grab your tools, and let the crafting magic unfold. Because nothing says “I love you” like a handcrafted crystal creation straight from the heart. Happy crafting and may your Valentine’s Day be as radiant as your crystal balls!

February VIP Free Gift

2 Strands of Pressed Turquoise Beads valued at $16!

Pressed turquoise beads are made from compressed turquoise. Natural turquoise is a fairly expensive semi-precious gemstone known for its distinctive blue-green colour and has been used in jewellery for centuries. Pressed turquoise beads are created by taking small chips or powder of turquoise and combining them with a binding agent. The mixture is then pressed into bead shapes and often treated to enhance the colour and stability.

These beads can come in various shapes and sizes, catering to different jewellery designs. Pressed turquoise beads are valued for their affordability compared to the more expensive natural turquoise, while still providing a vibrant and attractive appearance.

VIP members get TWO strands for FREE (a $16 total value) this month with any purchase of $10 or more. Supplied at random from available stock, or select styles from the rack in-store.

This brings the total value of gifts for 2024 to $52, and we’re only in month 2!
