Crystal meditations are similar to focus-based meditations like concentration meditations. The difference being is that your focus is on a crystal. The type of crystal you use will depend upon what you would like to achieve.
Don’t forget to cleanse your precious stones or crystals first!
While sitting for the meditation concentrate on your breathing and feel the crystal or stone in your hand. While feeling the crystals or stones imagine yourself gently merging with the stone and becoming one with it or entering inside the stone itself.
