Broken or Lost Crystal Meanings

sheila of satin crystals holding a broken rhodochrosite massage wandHave you ever lost or broken a crystal? When you physically lose or break a crystal, it can be emotionally distressing.

By understanding the metaphysical meaning of why this happened, you can overcome the sense of loss more quickly. You are about to learn that there's nothing to fear. In fact, breaking or losing a crystal opens the door to a new world of opportunities. You are ready for something new.

Before you begin, make sure to join the Satin Crystals VIP club. You will want to take advantage of all the crystal healing information coming your way. 

Watch the Video

Watch the Video on Broken or Lost Crystals above to find out what it all means! While you are there, subscribe to the Satin Crystals Youtube channel and go on a crystal healing binge!

What does it mean if I lose my crystal?

There are three different metaphysical interpretations regarding crystals:

1. Some people believe that a lost crystal means that you no longer need the energy of the crystal and it has gone to another person or place that needs it more. You are ready for a different crystal and energy in your life.

2. The other interpretation is that you need more of that stone's particular energy and the piece you had was too strong or not strong enough for your purposes. You may look into finding a larger or more powerful version of the same stone.

3. The third interpretation is that the energy of the crystal was not compatible with your vibrations. That's okay, there are hundreds of other crystals for you to choose from.

If your crystal has disappeared, wish it well on its journey. Hope that the person who finds it will benefit from the crystal's positive energies. We are all connected; spreading the healing crystal love is much needed right now. Your crystal was a blessing, and now you pay it forward. 

If you do find the crystals again, it means that you needed a little break from the crystals' energy and you are now ready for its good vibrations once again. 

How to Replace your Lost Crystals

Your crystal is gone, and this is the Universe's way of telling you to get another one right away.

But how do you know which new crystal to pick? Here is a quick way to decide what crystal could give you the greatest advantage right now:

Close your eyes and quickly as yourself these questions. Answer without thinking:

"Should I replace my lost crystal with a similar one or a different one?"

Once your higher self informed you of the answer, you should listen right away without delay. Visit Satin Crystals and Shop by Stone to find your perfect piece.

If your Higher Self said you need a different crystal, you want to find out what kind of energy you need right now. Is it time to focus on Love, Abundance, Calming, Happiness, Spirituality, Protection, or something else?

Close your eyes again and ask this question: "What aspect of my life do I need to work on in this very moment?"

Now that you have a better idea of what you want, you can search for a crystal that helps with your intention. Shop Crystals by Intention and find your perfect pieces.

What do broken crystals mean?

When your crystal breaks, the spiritual significance is similar to that of the lost crystal. You are either ready for another stone, you need more of the same stone but a more powerful piece, or you were not on the same wavelength as the crystal and you need something else.

Instead of mourning broken crystals, transform them into something useful.

What can I do with my broken crystals?

If your crystal is broken, chipped, or scratched, it may still be used for healing. Depending on the severity of the injury, your crystal may still be fit to continue on its metaphysical mission.

We called imperfect crystals "wounded warriors"

Just like we humans get bruised and hurt along life's path, crystals get dinged and scarred as time goes on. That doesn't mean they are useless, they have just endured hardships and come out stronger. 

 

Here are some ideas for your broken crystals: 

If you don't want to use your broken crystals for healing, you can transform them.

  • Add them to your chakra plate

  • Place them in pots and gardens (your plants won't care what the crystals look like)

  • Add them to a clear vase and let them build up into a colorful display

  • Press them into a sculpture, stack them up, glue them with other materials to create intriguing art pieces

  • Make them into magnets for your fridge

Can I glue my broken crystals?

Yes, you can glue your broken crystals together. If you think about polished and carved stones and beads, they have already been manipulated from their raw state. A little glue is not going to hurt them. Just note that it might not be as strong as before. If you feel it's not the same, you should invest in a new replacement crystal.

If you are working specifically with the energy of raw, unaltered stones, you will not want to add glue to the chipped areas. In this case, you may just want to keep working with the remaining crystal as-is.

I like to use sugru to repair my crystals. Read more about repairing your crystals. 

How can I protect my crystals?

Now that you know the emotional pain that comes with breaking or losing a crystal, you may want to be proactive in the future. There are ways to help protect your crystals so they don't get lost or broken.

Tiny gems can be worn in locket pendants. Smaller stones and jewelry can go into pouches and suspension cases for safe keeping. Spheres, eggs, and even clusters can often fit on display stands to prevent them from rolling around and crashing into pieces. Not only do your gems become more secure on stands and cases, but they also look more respectable.

Your Crystal Intuition

Only you hold the answer to your specific metaphysical interpretation of your lost or broken crystal.

If you have trouble accessing your subconscious mind or listening to your intuition, we would recommend meditation or learning how to open the third eye chakra.

Is it safe to keep a crystal that was found? I believe it belonged to someone else, my boyfriend found it and gave it to me.

Sheila Satin - June 17, 2021

Hi Tracy, wow, it sounds like the Universe is giving you clear signs! I’m glad you can pick up on it. Cherish the crystals you have and let the others go or return them to the earth :)

Thanks for sharing!

Tracy - June 17, 2021

Hi Sheila,
This is my story about lost and then broken malachite.
I have a moldavite I’m going to set in a pendant and at the top of the piece is a triangular empty area, I had a really special piece of malachite that was a 3 rd eye pattern and would have sat well in that area with the moldavite in a pendant.
I was on holidays at the beach and had all my crystals & moldavite with me to cleanse in the ocean, while doing this at the waters edge a large wave came out of nowhere and the ONLY crystal swept into the ocean I couldn’t save in time was the 3rd eye so special to me …… well then your parcel arrived at my house ( dolphin malachite/ some Libyan desert crystal) my daughter was coming up to were we where holidaying, I asked her to bring it all with her so I could cleanse & activate it all for my healing work I do…… 3 days go by and she arrived with my parcel, so I carefully took all of them to the ocean this time being VERY mindful not to lose any this time all goes well … so I thought.
That night I left them on my amethyst heart in the bathroom (carpet throughout the flat except bathroom / kitchen) the next morning I got up thinking I will put them all away before something goes wrong ……. WELL had all the different crystals in my hand walking out of the bathroom and dropped ONE crystal the dolphin malachite 😫😫😫

Hi Sophia, as mentioned in this article, it depends on your personal preference as to what you do with your broken ring. If you are not happy with thge stone, you should return it to the vendor you bought it. If you are okay with it, it will work perfectly well with your vibrations and you can find a lot of happiness in the Moonstone’s energies.

Sophia Ornela - May 28, 2021

What if I may have purchased a broken moonstone ring?

Do you have book for the crystal meanings?

Sheila Satin - May 11, 2020

Hi Rashmi, thanks for your questions. We have just created this blog about broken crystals because it is an extremely popular question!

For your specific case, no it is not bad luck that your Moldavite chipped. When this meteorite was created millions of years ago, Moldavite splintered into numerous pieces from its asteriod origin, scattering all over Europe. Today if your Moldavite has splintered, the energy has no difference, just like it did not millions of years ago. Size wise, it may have a little less energy, but nothing you should notice considerably in your pendant piece.

Then again, it is totally up to your intuition and how you feel about the altered pendant now that it is chipped. If you feel like it’s fine, just a “wounded warrior” like the rest of us, then you can continue to wear and heal with it as before. If you feel like it has lost some of its powers, I would replace it for a fresh Moldavite pendant.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

Rashmi - May 11, 2020

Hi! Lisa and Sheila
Hope you are doing fine. I am fine too.
I had bought a moldavite pendant from you some time back. It’s edge got chipped of accidentally I wanted to know is it still use ful by that I mean does it still hold its healing properties or do I have to by a new one also does a breaking of moldavite hold any significance. Also is it bad luck if a moldavite chips off.
Thanks
Rashmi
