Retailer Selling Metaphysical Crystals? It Helps to Know your Chakras
As a retailer selling metaphysical gemstones and crystals, you will hear your customers talking a lot about chakras, and how the crystals they buy relate to specific parts of the body. In case you are not already an expert on energy healing and metaphysical products in general, here is a brief overview of the seven major Chakras of the body, their associated colors, and which crystals are used to interact with them.
1st chakra – The ROOT
This Chakra’s primary color is red, but other colors include black, gray and brown. Your customers may look for gemstones like Onyx, Red Jasper and Garnet.
2nd chakra – The Naval
This Chakra is the one at the naval, and its primary is orange. Plan on selling gemstones like Carnelian or orange zincite for the second Chakra.
3rd chakra – The Solar Plexus
The solar plexus Chakra is associated with almost every shade of yellow, and is represented by gemstones like Citrine, Yellow Topaz and Yellow Sapphire.
4th chakra – The Heart
The Chakra of the heart has a primary color of green, and is sometimes represented by pink. For 4th Chakra healings, your customers may look for green Tourmaline or Rose Quartz.
5th chakra – The Throat
The throat’s Chakra radiates with a light blue or turquoise-colored aura, as well as some lighter shades of blue. Here, your customers will look for turquoise stones or possibly a blue lace agate.
6th chakra – The Third eye (or brow)
The primary color of the 6th chakra, or third eye, is dark blue, which is represented well with gems like Lapis Lazuli and Sodalite.
7th chakra – The Crown
As expected, the crown of the body is represented regally in purple, but it can also be colorless, or white. Amethysts are the perfect stone for the 7th Chakra, but some people also choose Clear Quartz.
Metaphysical crystals are used for various forms of meditation, healing, energy work and protection, and are often requested in specific shapes. Knowing which crystals and gemstones are commonly used in meditative healing rituals will help you better serve a clientele that is interested in the metaphysical arts. Purchasing wholesale crystal and metaphysical gemstones is a great way to get started.
