What Are Crystal Wands?
Crystal wands are pointed devices containing or made of crystal/s. They are wonderful crystalline tools for energy work and energy healing.
There are several different categories of crystal wands. The categories can broadly be broken down into 4 types or forms of wands:
4 Types of Crystal Wand Forms
- Natural/rough long crystals with a tapering point,
- Polished crystals with a tapering point,
- Polished crystals, rounded at both ends, with a tapering point
- Fantasy style wands

1. Natural crystal point that has a certain shape can be called a wand. Usually these are crystal points that are long, and taper inwards towards the point.

2. Polished crystal point or double terminated point can be called a wand. Again these are usually long, with a tapered point on one or both ends.

3. Polished crystal with two rounded ends, also referred to as a massage wand, where one end tapers.

4. Long stemmed device with a crystal point at one end, the stem usually made from wood, copper or clay, is another type of wand. This kind of wand is what we usually see in fantasy media.
How Does It Work?
A crystal wand directs energy down the long stem and condenses it into its tapered point for precision energetic direction.

Crystal wands direct energy down the long stem and condense it into its tapered point for precision energetic direction.
A wand amplifies energy as it moves along and through the wand stem or body. The energy becomes tightly focused as it funnels through the point or tapered end.
You can use a crystal wand to draw energy off. In the case of psychic surgery, you can use a crystal wand for precision-focused energetic ‘cuts’ like a laser beam.
By pointing the wand away from the body or target area/object, it will draw energies away. Pointing the wand towards the body or target area/object will channel energies in.

Pointing the wand towards the body or target area/object will channel energies in.
The smaller, tapered side of the wand has the strongest intensity. Turning the wand around and using the wider end will provide a more relaxed energy.

Crystal wands have a wide variety of uses!
