What are Fairy Crystals ?

[smiles4u]

Hi all,

I saw Fairy Crystals selling on eBay (about a 100gr bag of assorted colours) but i have no idea what they are used for ?

Could someone please tell me

TIA xox

I gather they're just tumbled crystal chips. Maybe used for decoration, or to add to the energy of a room?

Lol MD I was thinking the same thing !

Lara I was wondering wow their crystals at that price, ha ... now dont laugh but as DD requested a fairy themed birthday party this year and thought to pop the fairy crystal in a pouch with a note of what it was ... But then thought OMG what if some kid thought it was rock candy and I get to foot some big dental bill bahaha !!!!

Oh!! I used to have those when I was a kid! I don't know if they're the same now but they were like half round pieces of glass in different colours about the size of a five cent piece. Totally not lolly looking at all. and yeah... They were from the fairies we used to make believe that they were their own little floating stepping stones XD (they didn't float for real... Obviously)

Man, I bet mine are still all at the folks somewhere. I should go dig them up XP

Helle, what you are describing there is what we call wish beads. Fairies leave them around, excellent idea for a fairy themed treasure hunt for 4-6 year olds. Find em in many colours at the cheap shops.
