Response: A crystal, in and of itself, is not bad. In fact, it is part of creation so it is fundamentally good. In the Book of Genesis we read that God saw all that He created and it was good. A crystal is a solid material with a "highly ordered, repeating arrangement of atoms, molecules or ions often forming a geometric shape with flat faces." Diamonds and salt are crystals. However, if these crystals are used for an evil purpose such as in divination or in witchcraft, then they could become portals for evil. So, if someone has crystals, they might seek to find out their background. Were they purchased in an occult store or used for magic purposes? This would not be good and they should be discarded. On our app/website, there is a short ritual on how to get rid of cursed objects. But if the crystals come from a "normal" source with no ties to the occult, then the owner might appreciate their beauty and welcome them into the home.
