Crystal Grids
A crystal grid is a tray or board marked with a geometric pattern giving stones a fixed arrangement to sit in. A larger stone goes at the centre, smaller ones around it following the lines. The board is what turns a handful of loose tumbled stones into a deliberate layout which is why grids sell so well as a second purchase to customers who already collect stones.
About these products
The range splits across two materials and they carry different designs.
Mango wood pieces are solid trays with the pattern engraved into the surface, available at 15cm and 30cm. These carry the geometric layouts, Metatron's cube, Flower of Life, Seed of Life plus the pagan and witchcraft symbols: pentagram, triple moon & star, spirals and crescent moons. There's also a reverse Flower of Life in dark finish.
MDF and off white wooden pieces are laser cut openwork rather than engraved, so the pattern is cut clean through. These carry Tree of Life, Seed of Life and the chakra combinations, Tree of Life with 7 chakras, Flower of Life with 7 chakras, and an Egyptian ankh with Flower of Life. Sizes run 10cm to 25cm, some supplied without a frame while several sold in sets of two.
Boards are sold without stones, so the customer chooses their own.
Matching patterns to what customers are looking for
Customers usually arrive with an intention rather than a pattern in mind, so it helps to know which combinations they tend to build:
Prosperity layouts are usually built with citrine, pyrite and green aventurine. Flower of Life and Seed of Life boards suit these, since the repeating circles give plenty of outer positions.
Love layouts centre on rose quartz, often with rhodonite or moonstone. Demand rises sharply through January and February.
Protection layouts use black tourmaline, obsidian, selenite and pentagram boards are the usual choice for customers working within a pagan or Wiccan practice.
Chakra has its own boards in the MDF range with seven marked positions matching the seven chakra stones.
None of these are fixed, customers adapt them constantly but knowing the common pairings makes it easier to advise across the counter and to build a display that sells the stones alongside the board.
Who should stock them
- Crystal retailers with customers already buying loose stones who need somewhere to arrange them
- Shops serving pagan and Wiccan customers where the pentagram and moon designs sell strongly
- Yoga and wellness retailers where the chakra boards fit an existing range
- Gift stores wanting an affordable entry item that leads to repeat stone sales
Display and pairing
Grids sell best displayed made up rather than empty since a bare board doesn't explain itself. Set one out with stones already arranged next to the tumbled stones a customer would need and both move. An orgonite sphere works as a centre piece on the larger 30cm trays and grids sit naturally beside altar products.
