Tumbled⌇Crystals and stones that have been tumbled (yet not quite into a perfect sphere) will have energy that softly emits in all directions, sometimes directionally varied if the stone is a little more abstractly shaped.Energy is taken in by each point and added to the ‘bubble’ of energy the crystal can work with. Double-Terminated⌇Think of these cuts as having two poles, like the earth, moving energy in a elongated sphere around the crystal.Because these are meant to be placed standing and pointing upwards, they are best used when energy is needed to be pointed up from a flat surface. Grounded Point/ Obelisk⌇Stronger version of the (natural) pointed stone, as the bottom of an obilisk-shaped crystal is flat, and allowing for a more grounded directional energy.If a stone has more than one point, the energy will also tend to be directed in those multiple directions. Natural Point(s)⌇Best used when energy is meant to be concentrated and pointed in a specific direction.This post a little spinoff from my “Explaining Crystal Healing” post, and describes how energy is directed throughout a stone based on the different, both cut and raw, shapes of gemstones.
