THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GEMSTONES AND CRYSTALS

Crystals and gemstones are two different kinds of stones with distinct features. Crystals have a crystalline structure, with atoms that are arranged in a regular and repeating pattern. This makes crystals stronger and more durable than gemstones.

Crystals also have a specific shape and geometric pattern that is unique to the crystal. On the other hand, gemstones come in various cuts, shapes, and sizes and don't have a specific geometric pattern.

In terms of colors, crystals tend to be more vibrant and vivid than gemstones. Gemstones, however, often have a more muted color palette.

Crystals are also more likely to have a higher amount of clarity and brilliance than gemstones. From a metaphysical point of view, crystals are believed to possess healing properties due to their energy-carrying abilities. Gemstones, on the other hand, are thought to bring luck, wealth, and good fortune to the wearer.
