How to Choose the Right Crystals
We know: Crystals seem like just trendy desk, dresser, and bedside-table accessories for a well-rounded Instagram vignette. Here at Cov HQ, there are many scattered on desks beside succulents and cups of millennial pink pencils that never get used (eye roll). That said, in our ongoing quest for exceptional aestheticism (as inspired by Pinterest), some of us have stumbled across the storied positive side effects of our crystal obsession.

OK, so we’re kind of joking. But since some swear there’s a method to the magic—we asked Devi Brown, founder of retail and lifestyle brand Karma Bliss (she’s also a radio and TV personality with a knack for getting the likes of Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar to bare their souls), to break down exactly which crystals we should be looking into according to the intentions or positive changes we’d like to see in our lives. So, for example, maybe you’re looking for love, or perhaps more money (to fuel your Gucci obsession). There’s a crystal for that—multiples, in fact. Allow Brown to guide your crystal collecting, below.
