Crystals are beautiful, mystifying and can be very fragile. If you somehow break one of your precious specimens what is the best thing to do? Can a broken crystal bring you bad luck? Can you repair it? If all else fails what is the best way to respectfully discard of your specimen?

If you have only little damage to your specimen, it might be best just to leave it as is and see it as a new characteristic of the piece. If there is a bit more marring, people have been known to use crazy glue to piece the crystal back together.

If you decide the damage is far too significant, there is a respectful way to discard of your mineral. The best and most beautiful way to let the mineral go is to return it back to the earth. By burying the crystal back into the planet from which it came is how to honor your stone. The park, a forest or in your very own garden. You can also use the pieces as decoration in a pot soil plant at home.

As far as bad luck even if the mineral is broken is will still keep its energy and will still bring your the energetic aspects of the stone you were seeking when you collected it. A broken piece of  crystal may evoke different feelings in you as they are not the pristine element we once had.

Trust your gut and remember that if you love crystal, broken or not, it can bring you the same peace as it once did. If you do decide to part with a broken one, do it in the most respectful way.
