Keeping a stone close throughout the day is one of the most natural ways to work with crystals. A tumbled stone in a pocket, a small pouch in a bag, or a piece of jewellery all work beautifully.
Choosing stones for daily carry
Choose hardy, tumbled stones for daily carry, since they handle being knocked about far better than delicate clusters or soft minerals. Quartz-family stones are ideal. If what you are carrying is a bracelet, the wrist you put it on is worth a moment's thought too, both for the intention and for how much knocking about the beads will take: see which hand to wear a crystal bracelet on.
Caring for carried stones
Give carried stones a little extra cleansing, since they pick up the energy of busy days. A night on a windowsill under the moon is more than enough.
