My Story: How I Discovered the Power of Crystals

Years ago, after losing my first mala, I tried to recreate it by choosing a stone linked to my zodiac sign. Following online advice, I selected black onyx for Capricorn. But within a week, I started experiencing intense nightmares. Only later I learned that onyx can sometimes have this effect. Putting the mala aside ended the nightmares — and marked the beginning of my journey with crystals and the creation of Samdea Mala.

Since then, the question I hear most often is:
"How do I choose my stones?"

The truth is, there is no universal answer. Every journey is unique.

How to Choose Your Stones

You can choose a stone based on resonance, selecting one that reflects your current strengths and qualities. Or you can choose based on compensation, looking for a stone that supports you in areas you wish to grow.

Some people enjoy combining astrology and crystal wisdom, selecting stones traditionally associated with their zodiac sign. However, there is no single definitive list, and interpretations vary across cultures and traditions.

The important thing is this:
The right crystal is the one that feels right to you.


The History of Zodiac Stones

The connection between stones and zodiac signs dates back thousands of years, with origins linked to the Breastplate of Aaron, an ancient biblical artifact. Over time, different cultures and scholars have interpreted these connections in their own way, leading to variations in the stones associated with each sign.

Modern lists often blend tradition with contemporary crystal wisdom. While zodiac stones offer a beautiful starting point, your personal energy and current life phase are even more important.


Trusting Your Intuition (and Asking for Guidance)

Experts suggest that the most powerful way to choose your crystal is to follow your intuition — to feel drawn to the stone that resonates with you.
And while intuition is powerful, sometimes it helps to receive guidance.
