Crystals come in many different shapes and sizes. The crystal natural geometric forms and raw crystals hold a lot of the Earth’s energy. However, you can choose a cut crystal shape to help amplify that crystals properties.
A rough, natural, or raw crystal appear very similar to the way they look when removed from the Earth. They will maintain their natural form without any mechanical help even if they have been broken. Some crystals are made into shapes and smoothed out using mechanical and human help. They still hold their energy but can also amplify that energy because the shape it is in. Let’s go through the different shapes of crystals and their meanings.
Crystal Shapes
Palm/Thumb Stones
Long, flat stones smoothed all around. They make good worry stones and stress reliever since they are smooth and you’re able to rub your thumb over it.
Clusters
Groups or cluster of crystal points within one crystal. These are good for placing in an area to direct energy. You can also use clusters to help charge other crystals.
Geodes
Stones that have open cavities lined with crystals. They are great to help you connect with your inner self along with, grounding and internal healing.
Points/Towers
These are tall or short crystals with a flat bottom and a pointed top. They help direct energy toward the direction you want. They are great for intention setting and channelling energy.

These are just a few different shapes and their meaning. I’ll have a graphic below with these shapes and others. You can download this graphic and print out to help you remember the crystal shapes and their meaning.
Crystal Systems
Each crystal is part of a different crystal system. Each crystal system will contain certain properties and will help you when working with these types of systems.
Hexagonal
Crystals that have a 3-D hexagon structure. They also help with manifesting.
Isometric
Crystals that have a cubic structure. They improve situations and amplify energies.Monoclinic
Crystals that have a 3-D parallelogram structure. They provide protection.
Orthorhombic
Crystals that have a diamond-shaped crystalline pattern. They help cleanse, clear, unblock, and release.
Tetragonal
Crystals that have a rectangular structure. They with with attracting your intentions.Triclinic
Crystals that have a structure with three inclined axes. They help to contain and ward off energy.
Geometry of Cut Crystals
Crystals also have their own geometry system, meanings, and properties. Working with these types of systems will help enhance the crystals energy and the shape it’s in.
Dodecahedron
Associated with the element of the Ethers and connects you to your intuition and higher realms.
Hexahedron/Cube
Represents the element of Earth and will help ground you.
