I love crystals more for their aesthetic value than any magical properties. That's not to say I don't appreciate them as totems because I obviously do. I simply prefer to acknowledge my reasons for being attracted to using them in the first place. Emotional healing can often be triggered by doing no more than directing your focus; because crystals are said to work on a vibratory or energetic level, this means they can help you to do just that. You can either wear it as jewellery, carry a stone in your pocket or sleep with a chunk under your pillow.
