Building a crystal collection and finding new pieces to add can be a thrilling experience that combines the beauty of the stones, history, and personal stories. You could be drawn to a gem because of its color, unique properties, an interesting story you remember, or something else. Choosing the best gemstones to add to your collection requires careful consideration and a keen eye for spotting unique stones.
Here are some tips on how you can make informed decisions and select gems that resonate with your unique style when you’re at events like the Tucson Gem Show on 22nd Street.
Consider Your Taste
Your personal taste is crucial when it comes to adding stones to your collection because if it doesn’t resonate with you, then why bother? Gemstones are available in various colors, shapes, cuts, and other features, allowing you to find one that holds personal significance. Creating a collection of gemstones you find appealing will help keep the collection interesting and make adding new rocks to it much more meaningful.
How Will It Fit In Your Crystal Collection
Making sure you have a specific need for a new gemstone can help you determine if it’s right to add to your crystal collection. Aesthetic appeal and durability are important for gems that are going to be used for jewelry while energy and symbolism matter most for gems purchased with metaphysical properties in mind.
Keep Your Budget in Mind
Gems vary in price depending on factors like size, quality, and rarity so it’s important to set a budget when buying new stones. With a budget in mind you can focus on acquiring pieces that offer the best value and mean something to you. A more mindful approach will give you an opportunity to build a diverse collection with a focus on what makes collecting gems special to you.
