Examples in stock: [Gemstone Healing Hands Pendant - Amethyst](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/gemstone-healing-hands-pendant-amethyst452) (£11.96) and [Gemstone Small Dragon Head- Bloodstone](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/gemstone-small-dragon-head-bloodstone384) (£14.40). **What crystal is traditionally linked with Christmas?** No crystal belongs to Christmas itself, but December's birthstones (turquoise, tanzanite and zircon) and red and green stones such as garnet and green aventurine echo the season's colours. Examples in stock: [Deadly Poison Plastic Tumbler with Straw](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/deadly-poison-plastic-tumbler-with-straw) (£17.99) and [Steel Cased Pendant Ovals - 12 Assorted Gemstone Chips & Shells](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/steel-cased-pendant-ovals-12-assorted-gemstone-chips-shells437) (£38.40). **What crystal should I give for a fresh start in the new year?** Clear quartz is traditionally linked with clarity and new beginnings, and selenite with a clean slate, so both suit a new-year gift. Examples in stock: [6in Ritual Wand Smudge Stick with White Sage, Abalone and Quartz](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/6in-ritual-wand-smudge-stick-with-white-sage-abalone-and-quartz) (£30.99) and [Gemstone Yoga Garden - Sukhasana Pose - Amethyst - Tilted Tree - 100 chipstones](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/gemstone-yoga-garden-sukhasana-pose-amethyst-tilted-tree-100-chipstones085) (£27.84). **What crystal suits someone who is stressed at Christmas?** Amethyst and lepidolite are traditionally given as calming stones. We make no health claims; many people simply enjoy holding a smooth stone during a quiet moment. Examples in stock: [Large Charging Plate 18cm - Sacred Geometry](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/large-charging-plate-18cm-sacred-geometry470) (£27.60) and [Gemstone Six Face Obelisk Poins approx 17cm - Rock Crystal](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/gemstone-six-face-obelisk-poins-approx-17cm-rock-crystal394) (£38.40). **What crystal is a good Christmas gift for a man?** Black tourmaline, tiger's eye, smoky quartz and pyrite are popular choices for men because of their strong colours and weight in the hand. Examples in stock: [Small Teal Crystal Ball on Stand](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/small-teal-crystal-ball-on-stand) (£38.99) and [Self-Love & Healing - Crystal Infused Ritual Candle Set](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/self-love-healing-crystal-infused-ritual-candle-set) (£14.99). **Which crystals make a good Christmas gift for a child?** For older children, large tumble stones such as rose quartz or amethyst are a lovely first collection. Small stones are a choking hazard, so keep them away from young children. Examples in stock: [Shiva Lingam Magic Wand - Amethyst - Success](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/shiva-lingam-magic-wand-amethyst-success075) (£30.80) and [Gemstone Sphere 50mm - Amethyst Aura with Stand](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/products/gemstone-sphere-50mm-amethyst-aura-with-stand367) (£17.60). **Should I give a raw or tumbled crystal for Christmas?** Tumbled stones are smooth, pocket-friendly and ideal for stockings; raw pieces show the natural crystal structure and suit a collector's shelf.

Pad larger pieces well, because points and clusters can chip.

Crystal meanings are tradition and belief, and many people simply enjoy them as beautiful natural objects.
