Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Crystals & Gemstones
Q: What kinds of crystals and gemstones does ChiGrove use?
A: ChiGrove works with a curated selection of natural crystals and gemstones, including amethyst, rose quartz, black tourmaline, labradorite, moonstone, clear quartz, and citrine. All stones are natural — never synthetic or lab-created — and are individually sourced and inspected for quality and energetic integrity.
Q: Are ChiGrove's crystals real or synthetic?
A: All crystals and gemstones used in ChiGrove jewelry are 100% natural. We do not use synthetic, dyed, or lab-created stones. Because natural stones vary slightly in color, size, and pattern, the piece you receive will be unique and may differ slightly from product photos — which we see as a feature, not a flaw.
Q: Do you believe in the healing properties of crystals?
A: We honor the long tradition of crystal healing found across many cultures and spiritual practices. While crystal healing is not scientifically proven as a medical treatment, many of our customers find that wearing crystals with intention supports their mindfulness, emotional wellbeing, and sense of connection to nature. We encourage you to explore what resonates with you personally.
Q: How do I choose the right crystal for me?
A: We recommend starting with your intention. Ask yourself: what do I want to invite more of right now — calm, courage, love, clarity, protection? Each crystal in our collection has a detailed description of its traditional energetic properties to help guide you. You can also follow your instinct — many people find they are simply drawn to the stone they need most.
Q: How do I cleanse and activate my ChiGrove crystal jewelry?
A: There are several widely used methods: place your piece in moonlight overnight, especially during a full moon; hold it under cool running water for 30 seconds (check that your specific stone is water-safe); place it on a selenite charging plate; or simply hold it in your hands, breathe deeply, and set your intention. We include a brief guide with every order.
About Our Jewelry
Q: What metals does ChiGrove use?
A: We set our crystals in 925 sterling silver and 14K gold-fill. Both materials are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, making them suitable for most sensitive skin types. Sterling silver is hallmarked 925, confirming 92.5% pure silver content.
Q: Will my jewelry tarnish over time?
A: Sterling silver can develop a natural patina over time when exposed to air and moisture. All ChiGrove silver pieces are treated to resist tarnishing, but we recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising, and storing it in the pouch provided when not wearing it. A soft silver cloth can restore shine in seconds.
Q: Is ChiGrove jewelry suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. All our jewelry is nickel-free and made with hypoallergenic metals. If you have a specific metal allergy, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist. We are happy to advise on the best options for your skin type — just reach out to us.
Gifting & Meaning
Q: I want to give a crystal jewelry gift but don't know which stone to choose. Can you help?
A: Absolutely. On our website, each product page includes the stone's traditional energetic meaning and who it is often gifted to. As a general guide: rose quartz is a classic gift for someone navigating a life change or seeking self-love; amethyst is wonderful for someone who needs calm and clarity; citrine is perfect for a new beginning or creative project. You are also welcome to contact us and we will suggest something based on your recipient's situation.
Q: Does ChiGrove include a gift message with orders?
A: Yes. You can add a personalized gift message at checkout. Orders can also be shipped directly to the recipient in our signature packaging, which includes a care card and crystal meaning guide — no extra charge.
