Which crystal would you recommend to someone completely new to the energy and healing power of crystals? Why would you choose it?

I say clear quartz.

Its a softer energy and the stone doesnt tend to hold negative energy either. Its great at amplifying the benefits of others also.

I would also recommend amethyst rose and smokey quartz too though. I believe all of them give a great all round example of the benefits of using crystals. There also hardy and easy to use with ne real sensitive cleanign instructions so they can take a few mistakes that other sensitive, fragile crystals cant.

What about the shapes of the crystals? I find that giving people a smooth polished palm stone to hold can really relax them... anti-stress stones for executives lol.

Tumblestones of all kinds too, but many newcomers don't thing that a small pebble will make any difference a cut palmstone or thumbstone is bigger and so hold their attention and respect more?

I would agree with the smoky and rose quartz but I wouldn't go for clear at all, perhaps a nice green aventurine that would really cool and calm.

I agree with the examples above, my ideal starter kit for a beginner would include large tumble amethyst, rose quartz ans soft cloudy/clear quartz, I would recommend citrine as an introduction to using a point as it it such a positive stone it lends to using the crystals in a beneficial way and will cleanse the other crystals.
