What is the significance of a crystal?

[Kewpie]

I was given a crystal as a gift and told it was lucky. What is the significance of crystals anyway?

Dear Anon,
Usually, a single gift will not impact on a person. But rather, it is the the symbolic gesture of giving a gift is more important. It can be any gift.
For a crystal, it is suppose to give beneficial Qi because of the way it plays with light.
Some Feng Shui practitioners advise the use of other subsitutes e.g. a mirror, such as at the staircase landing to deflect Qi upwards.
Some Feng Shui practitioners also advise one to place a mirror on the wall at an auspicious sector e.g. after using the Flying Star, there is a very auspicious sector along a wall, here, a mirror or even placement of a mirror to bounce back the good luck.
Here, some FS practitioners may advise the use of crystals instead of a mirror at this location.
While on the other hand, some FS practitioners advise otherwise that if it is placed at an inausipcious sector it will bounce back twice the bad luck.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
