Why do Crystals Break?
We get asked this question lots. So let’s talk about this because it can be pretty distressing when a crystal cracks. (I’m excluding weak, easily broken or fragile stones such as selenite here …those obviously can crack or break very easily).
What does it mean?
Sometimes it doesn’t mean anything at all. It could be just plain science and physics that caused it, like a heavy impact or thermal shock: extreme hot to cold or cold to hot, being placed in water when not safe to do so. Check out some of the water safe and non water safe crystals below:

But sometimes a stone or crystal just breaks…with no explanation. So then we have to look at energy.
Think of it as the Opera singer and wine glass shattering scenario. What causes that to happen? The frequencies of the wine glass were perfectly pitched or perfectly oscillated with the sound frequency of the note that the singer was holding. This created a 3rd resonant field of greater energy and that cracks the wine glass.
The same scenario may be taking place when our crystal cracks. The vibrational frequency of the crystal may be synchronising with a frequency in its environment and BOOM! Crack.
Keep in mind…crystals do not stop working because they’ve cracked or broken. Please continue to work with them. They are still there for you.
What if this happens more than once with a particular crystal? Well, in that case, its work with you may be done. Perhaps this is a sign to gift this piece on to whoever needs it more than you. Its work isn’t done, perhaps, it just needs to move on to someone else.
Now, the intense energy that caused the stone or crystal to crack, whether a physical impact or energetic impact was intense (especially if we’re talking about a quartz crystal)… and that my have temporarily altered the crystal’s normal vibrational frequency. So you’ll want to give that crystal a little break for a bit. A little spa vacation with a nice cleansing. But after about a month, it should be raring to go again.
How do you do that? You can do a meditation with the cracked/broken crystal and thank it for the work it has been doing for/with you. Then since this a high amplitude energy that caused it to crack, you can do a good crystal cleanse before resting it. If you cleanse your crystal of stored energy regularly this will avoid this happening.
If you feel it’s time to pass on it’s magic think carefully, Who do you know who would benefit from its energies?
