Things to consider when building a crystal grid:

1. Intention - What energy are you wanting to create? Which intention do you want to support?

                       Be very specific about this.

First and foremost, know your intention. From there, select your crystals according to:

2. Color - You can use the chakra colors to help select appropriate crystals. Which chakra/s most closely relate to your intention? Use crystals the color of those chakras or, perhaps, use crystals in the contrasting color of that chakra. (Click here for Chakra colors and color wheel)

3. Shape - Spheres, towers, points, raw and tumbled. Crystals come in many shapes whether raw, cut or carved. I often use shapes like a sphere or a tower or even a carved rose for the center stone of my grids. For example, a labradorite heart would make a great keystone for a Heart Chakra or Love grid.
