Why Geodes Are The Next Wave Of High-Vibe Living

Over the years, crystals have gone from geological remnant to enchanted accessory—tiny nods to the earth that people call upon for strength. And geodes just may be the next iteration of this high-vibe trend.

These rock formations filled with tiny crystalline surprises take shape once hollow cavities form in the earth, often left over from magma or withering organic matter. Porous rock forms in the absence of material, and it can give birth to mineral deposits over millennia. The crystals that form inside these rocks vary based on the surrounding conditions, so geodes look vastly different depending on where in the world they're buried. Geodes in Brazil often house subdued soapstone and quartz, while those in Spain are filled with golden hematite.

Enter the kaleidoscopic world of agate-print totes, socks, pendants, and clothing. "Geodes inherently vibrate at a higher frequency, which gravitates toward the weaker cells in our body. This energy works within our bodies' own energy systems, helping to balance and harmonize us," says Energy Muse co-founder and crystal healer Heather Askinoise. "This energy transfer translates to the physical objects you wear too," she says.

Bringing the outdoors in is a bona fide way to refresh your home's mood too. With their striking variation of pattern and texture, the crystal-infused formations can add an unexpected pop of life to any and every corner. You can dot your living room's tables and shelves with a large-scale ode or play with smaller snippets like this geode bookend from West Elm. Or try mixing and matching your stones with other nods to the terrestrial. Place them alongside potted flowers or encapsulate your succulent in a protective geode shell all its own with this crystallized planter.

This glasses set from Urban Outfitters adds a bit of visual interest to the standard kitchenware, while these funky dresser-drawer knobs can seriously up your bedroom vibes.

"Crystal geodes are becoming more popular because as humans we are innately attracted to them. Deep within us, we all know there is an energy in the earth and this energy is what makes us become more balanced, grounded, and centered," says Askinoise. "Whether you look at the geode and visually see its beauty or if you physically hold it and feel its powers, they both make us feel good."
