Recently, work has been going poorly, and I often encounter minor accidents even when going out. I was almost overwhelmed by bad luck. A while ago, while chatting with a close friend, she mentioned that I might be lacking the Metal element in the Five Elements and suggested I try Five Elements crystals to enhance my luck. At first, I was skeptical, but as I had no other options, I decided to give them a try.

How Did I Choose the Crystals?

Five Elements crystals are essentially crystals selected based on the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. If you lack the Metal element, you should choose Metal-associated crystals to compensate. After doing some research, I found that crystals like clear quartz, citrine, and rutilated quartz are associated with Metal and can help improve fortune and attract wealth. In the end, I chose a clear quartz bracelet and a rutilated quartz ornament, as clear quartz is versatile, and rutilated quartz is said to be particularly effective for attracting wealth.

Usage Process and Real Feelings

After receiving the crystals, I first purified them using the method I found online: soaking them in saltwater overnight and then placing them in sunlight for half a day. Honestly, when I first wore the bracelet, I didn’t feel anything special—it just looked nice and felt cool to the touch. However, after about a week, I noticed that my mood seemed calmer, and my tendency to get anxious had improved somewhat. At work, although I didn’t become rich overnight, I did encounter fewer minor troubles. For example, documents no longer kept making mistakes, and meetings went more smoothly.

I placed the rutilated quartz ornament on my office desk. Seeing it sparkle every day at work inexplicably lifted my mood. Once, a colleague even asked if I had changed my feng shui setup, saying I looked better recently. I secretly felt that this might not just be a placebo effect—perhaps the energy of the crystals was quietly helping to adjust my aura.

Minor Drawbacks to Note

Of course, crystals aren’t a cure-all, and I encountered some minor issues. For example, the clear quartz bracelet loosened a bit after prolonged wear and required regular adjustments. The rutilated quartz ornament needed careful cleaning, as dust could dull its shine. Additionally, the effects aren’t immediate—they require some patience. If you expect instant luck, you might be a bit disappointed.

My Usage Suggestions

1. Confirm the Five Elements First: It’s advisable to consult a professional or do your own research to confirm if you truly lack the Metal element before purchasing. Otherwise, you might waste your money.
2. Choose Suitable Crystals: Besides clear quartz and rutilated quartz, citrine is also a good option. You can choose based on your budget and preferences.
3. Purify Regularly: The energy of crystals weakens over time. I purify mine with saltwater once a month to maintain their effectiveness.
4. Combine with Other Feng Shui Practices: Relying solely on crystals might not be enough. I also keep my desk tidy, avoid clutter, and ensure energy flows better.

In summary, Five Elements crystals have been a helpful supplementary tool for me, bringing back a bit of good luck. If you’re also troubled by your luck, why not give them a try? But remember to keep a balanced mindset—life still depends on your own efforts!
