Gemstones of the 7 Color Rays: Using the Healing Power of Color with Crystals
Because color can influence or even change the way we think and feel, it’s great to keep them in mind when you’re selecting crystals to work with. Color is perhaps the reason you’re even drawn to certain crystals. Each color has a myriad of properties, just like the stones themselves. When you select stones based on their inherent properties along with the particular properties of a color, you’re bound to experience even better healing results!
Color has been proven to affect the mind, moods, and personal wellbeing. By having an understanding of the effects that color has on the body, you will be better able to select stones for specific healing and treatment practices.
The unique energy vibration of each color ray, combined with the amplification ability of crystals make working with crystal color vibration a powerful healing technique.

Try the following technique to help you understand the subtle energetic vibrations of color:
Gather a group of the same type of crystal, but in a variety of colors (Calcite works well because it is very affordable and comes in a huge variety of colors). Hold each crystal in your hand, one at a time, and try to detect any energetic differences within the stones based on their color energy.
I suggest that you keep a journal to jot down any feelings or insights you have about how color affects the energy you feel from the crystals.

I enjoyed the challenge in this article. I used green calcite, orange calcite, and blue calcite. I journaled what I felt and was surprised to see how the same crystal can have such different qualities according to color. The vibrations felt very different as well!
That’s awesome you stepped up to the challenge River, thank you so much for sharing your experience working with the colors of calcite!! <3 Crystal Blessings
