In short: Parents most often choose gentle stones for children: rose quartz for love and comfort, amethyst for calm and sleep, clear quartz and fluorite for focus at school, tiger's eye for confidence and black tourmaline for nazar protection. Safety first: beads are small parts and a choking hazard, so do not give bracelets to babies and toddlers; for young children, keep crystals in the room instead, and supervise older children.

Safety tips for parents
- No bracelets, malas or small stones for babies and toddlers: they are small parts and a choking hazard.
- Choose a secure GemSnap magnetic lock or a well-fitted elastic for children, and check the stringing regularly.
- Avoid malachite for children (its dust should not be swallowed), and keep selenite, pyrite and hematite away from water.
- Take bracelets off for swimming, bathing, sports and sleep.
- Crystals are a comfort and a tradition, not a treatment. For worries about a child's health, sleep or behaviour, talk to your paediatrician.
