This is interesting, it came from the old forum,,, I think Mirna posted it.... Thanks Mirna,,, I thought it was useful and interesting so I reposted it here 
How can I determine what number of facets on the crystal is best for me?
You can consult the article about the Lifestream Prana Crystal for information about the possible uses for the various number of sides. Melissa Applegate gives a wonderful overview. Apart from this, there are other factors that one might consider.
go into meditation and ask what is the most appropriate. Sometimes the answer will come immediately but more often than not one begins to notice a particular number appearing again and again in one's daily life. This often shows up as numbers in addresses, prices, dates, time, and so forth.

some individuals use numerological considerations

price can also be a determining factor
As more sides are added the energetic spin within a crystal has the potential of being faster or more intense. The intensity of spin will allow the energy emitted from the crystal to have a greater or lesser degree of penetration through the various subtle bodies of a person. A four sided crystal is useful for physical aches and pains, a six sided crystal will perform in much the same way but is able to penetrate more deeply into the energetic bodies allowing one to work more easily in the emotional aspect of the field. The eight sided crystal allows one to remove multiple layers of patterning which may not be accessed by the four or six sided crystal. It is useful to release deep shock and trauma, and releasing patterning that is at a soul level of consciousness. All of this, of course, is contingent upon the capability of the user.
In general, as more sides are added the crystal has a greater potential energetic output. We use the word potential because the actuality is determined by the user. Marcel used the model that the four-sided crystal was suited to physical treatment, the six-sided for emotional/mental, and the eight-sided for mental/causal. Although this has validity, one can also think of the number of sides as a measurement. A four sided crystal might be like a four ounce glass of water, a six-sided like a six ounce glass of water and so on. As the volume increases so does the amount of water or energy the glass can hold. It depends on what one wishes to do as to what is most appropriate. Remember that the volume of a six ounce glass can hold four ounces, but a four cannot hold six; an eight can hold four, five, six or seven ounces, but the reverse is not true.
It is crucial to consider also that more is not always better. Frequently more can be done with less. It is the skill level and being of the individual using the crystal that often determines outcome.
Often people think that if they have a crystal with a very high number of sides, this is better. Not necessarily so. Sometimes these choices are made from a limited ego or personality perspective without any consideration as to use. Why do you choose to use a crystal in a given situation? Why use a crystal at all? What is your intent? Frequently we are not aware of our specific intent. When dealing with the amplified and cohered forces that can be produced using a Vogel-cut® crystal, awareness of our intent is very important. One intent of our teaching work at Lifestream Associates is to provide information with which informed decisions and choices can be made.
