What to Do with Broken Crystals: Honoring Transformation

When a beloved crystal breaks, it can feel like losing a friend—especially if you've worked with that stone for years, carried it through challenges, or felt a deep connection to its energy. But crystal breaking isn't an ending—it's a transformation. In crystal healing traditions, a broken crystal is believed to have completed its work with you, absorbed energy it couldn't transmute, or transformed to serve a new purpose.

TL;DR

• Broken crystals have completed their work, absorbed negative energy, or transformed for new purpose
• Options: keep pieces for new uses, gift them, bury in earth, create mosaics, or release with gratitude
• Honor the transformation rather than viewing it as loss or bad luck
