Gemstones & Children
Children are open and often still pure and unguarded. That is why they are usually sensitive to the calm, warm presence of gemstones. A stone can be a lovely companion: something tangible to hold that brings a sense of calm and safety. At Kristalmeester you will find a beautiful selection of stones that suit children well, and that make a sweet gift too. Expecting parents also like to choose a little stone as a meaningful welcome gift.
Handy tips
A few things to keep in mind. For children, choose soft, light stones and hold off on intense, dark stones such as Onyx, Black Obsidian and Garnet for now. Let a child wear one stone at a time, and above all let them choose themselves, as children have a surprising sense of what suits them. Keep small stones out of reach of babies and very young children, because of the risk of swallowing.
A stone that grows with them
Every age has its own mood. For babies and toddlers, gentle stones like Rose Quartz and Labradorite are loved for their calm presence. When your child starts school, parents often choose Amazonite, Fluorite or Carnelian, stones associated with calm, focus and friendship. And during puberty, Black Tourmaline, Tiger's Eye and Rock Crystal are popular. Feel free to choose from the heart: the color or stone your child is drawn to is often exactly the right one.
