Can you utilize gem chips or small crystals in crystal grids or are they too small or weak in power? On this article, we’ll discover how crystal measurement impacts grid work, whether or not small stones or tiny crystals and gems are efficient and the optimum measurement of crystals for crystal grids.
Why This Query Comes Up So Typically
I get it, shopping for crystals for crystal grids can add up. The smaller the crystal, the cheaper it’s. Gem chips, the tiny, tumbled chips of crystals, utilized in jewelry and generally bought in bottles, are very inexpensive and appear engaging.
You is likely to be utilizing small crystals for crystal grids due to the dearth of house. One other factor I see is folks shopping for a crystal grid base on-line and it’s in regards to the measurement of your palm and even smaller (at all times test the scale earlier than ordering). Common tumbled stones gained’t even match on these…

Does Crystal Measurement Matter in Crystal Grids?
I’ve spoken in regards to the measurement of crystals on right here earlier than and coated this matter in my detailed information, Crystal Grids Energy 2. For many who are new or who haven’t learn this but, right here’s my perspective once more.
Usually, the scale of the crystals does have an effect on the power. If you happen to can sense crystal power and also you maintain a small stone, then maintain an enormous crystal cluster, then contact an enormous show crystal – the distinction may be very noticeable.
Nevertheless, there are exceptions and variables to contemplate. On the subject of high-quality gems which are small, these also can pack a punch. It’s extra in regards to the objective. Smaller crystals and stones worn on the physique as jewelry are efficient and excellent for this objective.

I’m not saying larger is healthier. Although an enormous one-pound amethyst crystal level may be very highly effective. It wouldn’t be sensible to put on it or carry it round. It could additionally seemingly be too robust anyway. Giant crystals are higher for enhancing the power of a room or your house.
Tiny tumbled stones and “gem” chips are not often gem high quality anyway (so that they gained’t have the extreme power of a ruby gemstone, for instance). Only one regular-sized tumbled stone from any crystal store might be the equal of 15 – 20 of those chips.
Gem chips alone at all times look misplaced to me on the typical crystal grid base (7-8″). Your eyes know when one thing is out of stability. Belief your sense of seeing what appears proper.
To me, energetically talking, little crystals typically lack “oomph” in crystal grids. Plus, attempting to put tiny crystals on a daily or little crystal grid could be actually difficult. I’m not saying to make use of them in any respect, although. See my crystal grid beneath – extra on this later…

Really helpful Sizes of Crystals For Crystal Grids
Tumbled Stones
For many of the crystals in crystal grids (Assist Stones, not the bigger Centre Stone), I like to recommend the common medium-sized tumbled stones that you’ll find in any crystal store. These differ in measurement however could be something from 2 to three.5cm on common. It is a tough information, there’s no must measure each tumbled stone you have got!
Common tumbled stones are usually not solely helpful to have in your assortment as a result of single ones could be carried on you or positioned on a chakra for private use, however they are perfect for gridding. They’re one of the crucial generally out there types of stone, and you’ll find virtually any crystal on this form. Frequent stones are inexpensive however anticipate to pay extra for uncommon crystals.

Some crystals are solely out there in very small sizes, resembling Peridot, for instance. Additionally, with uncommon or costly crystals, it’s simply not affordable to seek out one thing larger. In these circumstances its nice to make use of little stones – the opposite crystals in your grid ought to be bigger, although!
Crystal Factors
With crystal factors, these are usually a bit longer. Simply see what matches in your grid and appears proper to you. Do they slot in your grid, or are they too lengthy or cumbersome? Normally, the most typical crystal factors, resembling clear quartz, Amethyst or Smoky Quartz, are 4cm or extra, with some being chunky.
PLEASE REMEMBER: These sizes are all relative to the average-sized crystal grid. Attempt to keep away from overcrowding crystals. When you’ve got an enormous crystal grid, you would possibly want larger crystals. In case you are making a location-based grid, round your house, for instance, that may even be more practical with bigger crystals.

What Small Crystals and Gem Chips Are Greatest Used For
I’ll sometimes use small crystals as a complement to the crystals of my crystal grid design. It provides a bit extra crystal power, however it’s refined to me and never important. You would use tiny crystals to fill within the factors of the sacred geometry image, just like the flower of life. Crystal chips could be lined as much as type a line, circle or form, when you’ve got the endurance for this…
I do discover it is a lot extra fiddly, as they’re small, it’s a lot more durable to cease the crystals from shifting or getting knocked. Cleansing these grids of mud can also be a little bit of a nightmare. Another excuse I want and suggest that you simply use medium-sized tumbled stones for grids.
Why Add Small Crystals To Crystal Grids:
- Supporting your crystal grid’s wanted stones
- Sample amplification
- Filling geometric factors
