Indigo and Crystal kids are often spoken of interchangeably, but there are significant differences between bright, sensitive crystals & the often dark, intuitive indigos.
Indigo and crystal children are often named interchangeably, but there are some real differences between the two aura colors. Though both indigo and crystal kids are part of the new wave of life colors beginning to direct the Earth, they vary in the type of sensitivity, in their psychic and other gifts, and in the kinds of emotional and psychological problems they may face during their lives.
What are Indigo and Crystal Kids?
Learn the basics about the indigo and crystal kids here.
How Old Are Indigo and Crystal Kids?
Nancy Ann Tappe began talking about observing indigo infants and kids in the early 1980's, whereas crystals began to appear in large numbers around the year 2000.
Although both of these aura colors may have been present in small numbers for much longer, the indigo and crystal "waves" are happening now. Experts working with these children estimate that almost all of the kids being born today are either indigo or crystal.
Some say the indigos came in to pave the way for the more sensitive crystals. Many indigo adults have children who are crystals.
What is the Energy Vibration?
Although both indigo and crystal children are sensitive and may have healing or psychic skills, the energy vibration of the two colors "feels" very different.
Indigo is a darker, more ambiguous colour. These children may be secretive, depressive, opaque and confusing to all but their closest friends. They often come across as profound and wise: the kind of child about which people say, "She's got an old soul."
Crystals, on the other hand, are usually smiling, happy children. They make friends easily and are a joy to be around. Crystals can bring light to a room, and are very empathetic from an early age.
Indigo children are insightful and intuitive. They can usually see right through lies and only respond well to honesty and respect.
Crystal children are empathic, natural healers.
Self or Camouflage: the Indigo Individual and the Crystal Chameleon
The strongest demand for indigo kids is to be their own selves. Indigo children do not fit in, and being forced to conform is one of the greatest trials for indigos.
A fulfilled, happy indigo is one who is able to be true to his - or herself, even at the expense of the acceptance of others.
Crystals, on the other hand, may not know themselves: they can connect easily with everyone and help them because their crystalline aura takes on the colors of whoever they are closest to, mirroring the people around them.
True chameleons, crystals need to take the time to clear themselves of other people's energies so they avoid taking on or identifying with other people's problems.
Note: This distinction does not preclude some people having characteristics of both. Pamela Oslie says that most people have two primary life aura colors, or one primary and one secondary, with elements of other colors mixed in. Some children have both indigo and crystal characteristics, though most lean toward one or the other.
ADD, ADHD and the Autistic Spectrum
Indigo and crystal children may be vulnerable to certain emotional and psychological problems, including ADD, ADHD, depression, and autism.
Indigo children are susceptible to ADD/ADHD and depression. Both of these are affected and can be modulated by diet and chemical sensitivities.
Although there may be other factors (e.g. genes, mercury in vaccinations), there does seem to be a correlation between the uber-sensitive crystal kids and autism. Many indigo kids appear to be on the autistic spectrum as well.

i believe he is...because his eyes captivate me. The eyes could be any
shape and color...but theres something about the placement of the pupil
that like hypnotizes you for a short moment.

He kinda reminds me of my nephew. When my nephew was born, I sensed that I
could trust him. He's about 9 now and he's pretty wise for his age. We get
along really well.

Guest :
I am a crystal child and my parents dont understand.... Its really hard to
blend in when you know your unique.
Jan 13, 2009 6:14 PM
Guest :
I don't think so trust me I should no... but than again I can only tell
when I am actually near an other...I just don't think that he is I just
don't feel it I think his eyes are messed up there not as bright as they
should be if he was an indigo or crystal.
Jan 13, 2009 6:20 PM
Guest :
Nope not an indigo! I don't see it in his eyes... there actually kind of
blank...I should know besides you can really only tell if know that by
having meeting one and F.Y.I not every person related to you is an other
indigo... you could have sensed that you could trust him because he was
just baby, all babies are innocent. Why does everyone claim to a crystal or
indigo geez...

This is an innocent little child. He does not need to be labelled by all
this New Age mumbo jumbo about a new more advanced human species with super
powers. This is ridiculous!

new age nonsense

Guest :
He can be, as i look in his eyes, i see the love and the compassion, and i
see the glow and radiance of innocence. he wears purple, there is a
resemblance. But mainly the eyes draws me, like my eyes draw people, but
often makes people feel weird, they either think im spying on them, or just
being rude.
everyone don't look into his eyes, he isn't what he
seems, hes smarter then you, just because he is a child, he sure doesn't
act like one, and he knows what he's doing. so throw away the precious
child act and grow up and stop playing with toys.

I am an Indigo child and i am 11 and I think he is an crystal child his
eyes arn't blue enough they are more greenish.... hazle thats the color but
they are the same sort of they just handle and use their sources
diffrently. So I think he is not but some think diffrent then others.

Guest :
No, I don't think hes an indigo I really think he is an crystle child. I
would know I am an Indigo child myself but the reason is he has hazle not
blue eyes but they hold you.

I believe I am an Indigo child.I'm nearly 15 and I show traits of both an
Indigo and a Crystal kid.Honestly this isn't "New Age mumbo
jumbo", and those who think that, I believe, could be scared of it
/being/ true.Because that would change everything they would have thought
was true from when they were children to now. In this age it's hard to
believe what is true, but I'm trusting my gut on this.I'm here for any
Indigos or Crystals who need support.(bloodsuckerdani@yahoo.com)

I think the kid looks more like a crystal. I think two of my nieces and my
nephew (I have three nieces and a nephew) are crystal, because they have
very captivating and huge eyes, and give off a trusting vibe.
I
think I am a blend of Crystal and Indigo, because I have a lot of the
attributes of both Crystal and Indigo (I am fourteen). People say I am wise
for my age (or interesting, dark, confusing), I am very empathetic. But I
have trouble when it comes to being true to myself, I sometimes have issues
with that. Also there are tons of other things that make me think I am a
blend of indigo and crystal.

Guest :
I am a blend of the two, but mostly crystal. No one understands me and i've
told my mom about my psychic/paranormal experiences but she thinks I am
imagining it. I also show most of the traits of a crystal and some indigo.

Guest :
I'm not sure weather I'm a crystal or Indigo anymore since other sites say
different things of the two...I guess I'll consider myself a mix.
By the way, nice to see that others like me actually exist. :)
Oct 18, 2009 6:15 PM
Guest :
Don't believe it if you want. I believe it because I'm one of them. By the
way, I'm only fourteen.

whoever put a shield on the image is awesome, you know who you are and you
know that it's messed up to put a picture of a kid on a website for
everyone to discuss wether or not he's an indigo or crystal or niether.
thanks.
for all of you feeling alone in this, you should know
that there are enough of us around that if you just look you can find quite
a few friends who are the same as you. i know plenty of people just like me
who completely understand. anyway, point is, it's not so hard to find
others.

at first i thought crystal, after looking better at the larger picture,
definately crystal. instant calm. yet it is easier for me to tell when i am
in someones presence. i need to be around their energy or essence to know
for sure.
