As Many As You Like
There was recently a question posed in Google Search that went like this exactly— “How many crystals can I carry at the same time”—and so I’d like to respond to this question as best I can. The simple answer is “As many as you like”. Crystal and gemstone healing or therapy is not in the same league as therapies you might ingest like herbs or pills. In these cases you must be careful what you mix.




Gemstones and Crystals work on a vibration level. I would simply pay attention to how you feel. Pay enough attention to it so that you can notice if it starts to feel weird or unhealthy. I have had to remove stones from either around my neck or from my pocket because it was suddenly clear that I needed a break—or needed to clean the stone.

Community of Gemstones
There are a few stones to be careful with in terms of inhaling the shavings or dust—malachite I believe is one of these. If you refrain from putting them in your mouth you should be good. I know also that meteorite types sometimes do not mix well with others. I have duct-taped multiple stones all over my body and walked around like this with no issues.

I have arranged my whole collection of stones in a symphony of healing on a supported piece of cardboard and slept under them all in close proximity and simply felt great. Stones generally get along with each other. You may also be sure not to put them near electronics as none of them like this. So if you are also carrying a portable music player of some sort you may want to tuck this away instead.

Personal Preference
Like most of crystal healing and self healing it is important to learn what your own needs are by paying attention to your responses and reactions to gemstones and crystals of certain types as well as how they might feel in a group. It is such a personal thing. I would not worry at all about how many you choose to carry. You will probably be worn out over their weight before it would present any other problems.

Here is an account of my experimentation with:
