The Beginner’s Guide to Crystal Shapes and Their Purpose

Crystals come in many beautiful shapes—spheres, towers, pyramids, hearts, and more—but did you know each shape carries its own energetic purpose?

At The Lilith Store, we believe that the form of a crystal isn’t just aesthetic—it influences how the energy flows. Whether you're new to crystals or looking to deepen your practice, understanding these shapes can help you choose the right tools for your space and intentions.

🌟 Why Crystal Shapes Matter

Crystals naturally hold energy, and the way they’re cut or carved can -

• Direct or amplify energy
• Diffuse energy evenly
• Focus intention inward or outward
• Help with meditation, decor, or energy placement

Let’s break down the most popular shapes and how to use them.
