Welcome! If you’re here, I’m going to assume you purchased or were gifted one of our Crystal Advent Calendars. I’m so excited for you, and hope you enjoy opening a new little treasure every day!
You’ll find each crystal wrapped in golden foil (it’s recyclable, btw). I’ve written a number on each one. You don’t HAVE to open them in numerical order, of course. But I intentionally ordered the crystals so you don’t get two similar ones back to back.
Inside the foil is also a slip of paper with the name of the crystal. In case you lose it, I’ve built this page for you. Below you’ll find an encyclopedia of the crystals you might find in your Calendar, along with meanings and other information.
If you’ve got any further questions about your Calendar, crystals, or anything like that, please feel free to reach out!
