Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “crystal breaks meaning” thing all over TikTok and Instagram lately. People are posting videos of their crystals cracking or breaking, and everyone’s freaking out, trying to figure out what it means. I gotta admit, I got curious too. So, I decided to do a little experiment of my own.
First, I grabbed a few of my own crystals – a rose quartz, an amethyst, and a clear quartz point. I’ve had these for a while, and they’ve always felt pretty good, energy-wise. I use them for meditation sometimes, or just keep them around my desk.
I started by just, you know, living with them. I carried them in my pockets, put them under my pillow at night, held them while I watched TV. Basically, I just wanted to see if anything would happen naturally. I wasn’t going to try to break them, obviously. That felt wrong. I just wanted to see if the whole “they break when they absorb too much negative energy” thing was true.
For a couple of weeks, nothing happened. They were just…crystals. Pretty, shiny, but no cracks, no chips, nothing.
Then, I had a REALLY bad week. Work was stressful, I had a fight with my best friend, and I just felt generally drained and awful. I remember holding my rose quartz one night, just kind of squeezing it, feeling super down. And then, I heard this tiny little click. I looked down, and sure enough, there was a small crack running along one side.
I was a little freaked out, I’m not gonna lie. It felt like the crystal had actually absorbed some of my bad vibes. It was weird!
My Little Experiment
- Rose Quartz: Developed a small crack after a week of intense stress and sadness.
- Amethyst: No change at all. Still perfectly intact.
- Clear Quartz: Also no change. Seems pretty resilient.
So, what did I learn? Honestly, I’m still not 100% sure. It could be a coincidence. Maybe the rose quartz was already weak, and my squeezing it just made it finally crack. But, it did feel pretty significant at the time.
I think what I’m taking away from this is that crystals, like anything else, can be affected by our energy. Whether they actually break because of “negative energy” or just because of physical stress, it’s a good reminder to take care of our own energy and be mindful of the things around us. And maybe, just maybe, there’s a little bit of magic in those shiny rocks after all. I decided to carefully wrap the rose quartz up and put it away for now. I feel like it needs a rest!
