Protective crystals provide an energetic shield that can shield you from unwanted influences, subtly increasing confidence, enhancing mental clarity, and helping balance emotions.

Obsidian is an effective protection crystal, known to ward off psychic attacks while strengthening intuition and inner strength. Pyrite also can protect from negative energies by reflecting them away from your aura and aura field.

Obsidian

Obsidian is an incredible protective stone, helping to bring calmness and stability into your life. Additionally, this stone offers emotional purification and psychic protection; drawing away negative energy while aiding spiritual healing on all levels.

Volcanic eruptions produce silica-rich magma that contains very little water, producing viscous obsidian magma that inhibits crystal growth before cooling occurs. Obsidian can range in color from black to a rich deep blue-green hue depending on its origin; some varieties feature gold sheening due to magnetite nano-crystal inclusions.

Black obsidian is associated with the Root Chakra (Muladhara). It helps keep you grounded and safe by dispelling any negative energies that may be disrupting your mind or energy flow, and healing properties of Black Obsidian include drawing out emotions you’ve suppressed to the surface, encouraging healing by facing and healing them – though this process can be daunting, it will ultimately bring positive change into your life.

Amethyst

Amethyst is an invaluable spiritual protector that can open and balance both Third Eye and Crown Chakras to foster deeper intuition and inner wisdom. Additionally, its soothing energy helps balance emotions and promote emotional stability – aiding you through life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience.

Amethysts form in rock cavities and fractures as hydrothermal fluid cools to form quartz crystal. Impurities like iron (Fe3+) act as chromophores that absorb specific wavelengths of light to give amethyst its distinctive hue.

Ancient people believed amethyst was used to bolster spiritual growth and improve mental clarity, with some cultures even believing that it protected against witchcraft, black magic, and any evil thoughts. Today it’s often used in meditation sessions for stress reduction or sleep issues as well as making an ideal talisman against stress, anxiety and depression. With a Mohs hardness rating of 7, it makes an excellent addition to rings, necklaces, earrings or any jewelry piece.

Citrine

Citrine, commonly referred to as the merchant’s stone, is widely believed to bring prosperity and success in business. Citrine also encourages optimism and enthusiasm while cultivating more generous mindset. Due to its warm energy resonance with solar plexus chakra, citrine strengthens personal power and inner strength [1].

As with other protective crystals, citrine’s powerful healing properties depend on your intention. Melo advises setting your goal and calling back on that intention every time you interact consciously with citrine.

Citrine is an ideal crystal to help enhance productivity and creativity in business and daily life, stimulating both the intuitive brain and manifesting dreams into reality. Place citrine stones strategically throughout your home where they will receive maximum benefit – such as bedrooms or workspaces.

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is a stone that helps individuals become strong-willed and courageous. It works by balancing your root chakra and clearing away any unhelpful obsessional energies which might be holding back progress toward being at their best selves.

Black Tourmaline, known as the master protector, provides you with protection from toxic energies while providing a sense of security in your environment. Furthermore, this natural EMF blocker shields against electromagnetic radiation released by smartphones, laptops, and Wi-Fi routers.

Black tourmaline is an ideal feng shui crystal to keep around the home, particularly areas prone to stress and exhaustion, helping keep calm during stressful moments in life. Additionally, placing one in your entryway could add extra protection and energy.
