Crystals are known for their healing properties and for helping to align and balance, so breaking a crystal can seem dramatic, embarrassing, and perhaps even very disturbing. People who own crystal usually put a lot of hopes and aspirations into their chosen crystal, and the breaking of that stone may seem like a sign of bad luck or bad energy.
A very interesting way to look at the breaking of a crystal is that since it has completed its journey, the crystal breaks into pieces to expose more sides of itself. And because more area (and mostly untouched and untainted) of the crystal is available now, it can give the energy of new frequencies. So, apart from being somber about it, there are multiple things that you can do when a crystal breaks.
Things that you can do when your crystals break
- Put it back in one piece
The first thing that you can do when your crystal breaks is to fix it by using some glue. It can still be used for decorative purposes and that why you do not have to go through the phase of parting with it. If the pieces are big enough, then you can even tie it with some beautiful strings.
- Use the separate chunks of crystal
Using the multiple pieces of the crystal is the easiest thing to do when your crystal breaks. You can use them for different purposes now like making grids out of crystal, putting them at your crystal charging stations, etc. The thing that is being done here is that now your crystal can be at multiple places at once and its energy can be used for more than one function.
- Give the crystal a burial
You have to honour and respect your crystal like the friend and companion it was to you. Show some gratitude for the healing it’s provided, and then let it go in a way that feels right to you. You can bury it in your plants or in your garden.
- Use it for art
You can always use the beautiful stones for poking the artist in you. Glue the pieces to a canvas or a wooden board and make a funky mosaic. It is like crystal therapy for your wall. Or you can use the shards to decorate a plant pot, adding a magical, earthy touch to your greenery. Let your crystals "grow" with your plants.
- Combine the smaller shards of crystals
When your crystals break up into smaller fragments, you can collect them and carry them in your pocket or purse. You will have portable vibes that still pack a punch.
Frequently asked questions on the things to do when your crystal breaks
Q. If my crystal breaks, does it impact its energy?In some cases, yes. Especially when the cause of the crystal breaking is energy, then it definitely has an impact. But usually the energy stays on the same frequency as before. So, in the context of energy change there is not much to do when you crystal breaks.
Q. Should I cleanse a broken crystal?
Absolutely you should. A broken crystal still holds some traces of leftover energy, but mostly it carries a fresh vibe. You can still cleanse it with sage or sunlight. In fact, you can use the shards of smaller crystals to charge your other bigger crystals. This way, the transfer of energy keep continuing.
Q. Can I use the broken crystal shards for water therapy?
This is one of the things that you should not do when your crystal breaks. Using the broken shards of crystal can be harmful if you consume the water or if you use it for something else. If the crystal is still in form of big enough pieces, then you can submerge them in the water and then use the water after filtering it.
