Therefore, for young children, it is recommended to choose safer accessories or wait until they are old enough to understand how to use crystals properly.

In addition, for specific crystals like fluorite or sulfur, there may be special considerations that do not apply to all age groups. When selecting crystals, it's best to decide based on individual circumstances and health conditions. It's advisable to consult with a doctor or a professional crystal therapist before wearing crystals to ensure they are suitable for an individual's physical and mental well-being.
