Crystal Habits, Configurations, and Faces can be very helpful when working with specific energy tasks. They can also be confusing.
I believe these special pieces are valuable tools to assist in your crystal journey. This is not a full list, as new ones continue to emerge.
In teaching beginners to advance, I find that less is more to start. Even some of the most seasoned crystal collectors are not aware of Crystal Habits/Configurations and how they can amplify, even more, the energy of that crystal.

References and Suggested Reading
Energy Properties came from several sources including:
- My own guides, the Crystal Council
- Crystal Personalities by Patricia Troyer which I consider THE best book for a complete listing of Quartz configurations/habits
- Each physical description listed here is from the book, Buyer’s Guide by LS Hersh who I consider the expert on Quartz configurations/habits from a physical standpoint. The author was asked and has granted her permission.
