Crystal Magic Tarot - every card paired with a gemstone
Not every tarot deck tells you which stone belongs with which card. This one does. Each card is designed around a specific crystal, from rose quartz to obsidian, and that pairing is meant to be practical, not just symbolic.
The deck is created by Kerry Ward, tarot reader and writer from Nottingham. She writes for Cosmopolitan among others and is known for her accessible approach. The illustrations are modern and colourful, with clear focus on the crystals themselves.
What you see on the cards
The structure is classic Rider-Waite: 22 major arcana, 56 minor arcana across four suits. What is different is that each card features a gemstone that matches its meaning. The Lovers shows rose quartz, The Tower obsidian, The Star aquamarine.
The imagery is clear and direct. No subtle symbolism to decode, but illustrations that show you immediately what the card is about. The glossy finish brings out the colours and makes the crystals almost tactile.
How you can use this deck
The 160-page guidebook explains for each card which crystal belongs with it and why. Ward also gives practical tips for manifestation work: how to draw a card, carry the corresponding crystal with you, and hold that energy consciously throughout the day.
The 120 x 70 mm format sits well in your hand. The cards are sturdy enough for daily use, though the glossy finish means you will need to clean them regularly if you handle them often.
Draw a card and find the matching crystal. Keep both together for a day or a week and see if the combination brings something up.

Questions we often get
Do I need to own the crystals themselves to work with this deck?
No. The deck works as a regular tarot deck. The crystal information is an extra layer you can use when you want to, but it is not required.
Are the crystal names printed on the cards themselves?
This is not mentioned in the product information. The guidebook does describe for each card which crystal belongs with it and what its energetic properties are.
