Crystals can be an incredible tool to cleanse and heal your personal energy field (commonly referred to as your aura). By absorbing and dissipating various energies, crystals work to heal.

Black tourmaline is an excellent stone to use when it comes to cleansing an aura, as it draws out and grounds negative energy while stimulating spiritual development. Selenite crystal is another popular choice.

Sunstone

Sunstone is an effective crystal healing choice as it balances and restores energy, inducing optimism and providing courage and self-worth.

Libras tend to choose this gem because it can help them break free of self-doubt and embrace their natural confidence, while encouraging independence and originality.

To cleanse sunstone, gently rinse it under lukewarm running water to wash away any harmful energies that it has absorbed, or pass the stone through smoke from sacred herbs such as sage or palo santo.

Bloodstone

Bloodstone is an energy healing crystal renowned for its aura cleansing capabilities. It is thought to improve intuition and foster closer ties with one’s higher self, providing individuals with more awareness of their inner guidance and abilities. Furthermore, Bloodstone may foster resilience as well as promote equilibrium and stability.

Dream stones may also help promote dreaming and encourage creative endeavors, making them ideal for those in search of their artistic gifts. Meditation with Dream Stone can also help clear away distractions so that focus can be maintained on tasks at hand.

Fluorite

Fluorite, known for its rainbow-like bands of color, has long been associated with emotional healing and harmony. It can balance multiple chakras simultaneously while also supporting clarity and focus – as well as offering spiritual insight and intuition.

Fluorite is said to cleanse one’s aura on both a psychic and energetic level, shielding against electromagnetic stressors such as computers. Furthermore, fluorite can help alleviate cording (energy lines that appear between people as a sign of unresolved issues). Fluorite should be cleansed using traditional means – wafting sage smoke over it usually takes just minutes).

Obsidian

Obsidian is a naturally-occurring volcanic glass formed when viscous lava cools rapidly without producing crystal growth, producing a smooth glassy surface with unique characteristics like trapped gas bubbles or dark bands of gray, green, or yellow hues.

Black obsidian is an effective grounding and protective stone, helping to clear away negative energy while shielding against psychic attacks. Furthermore, this grounding stone can serve as an emotional healing aid, helping release any unresolved anger or resentment that has built up inside us.

Black obsidian is associated with Uriel, the Guardian Angel who facilitates self-examination, spiritual healing and transformation. Additionally, this color honors Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, lightning, wind and volcanoes.

Selenite

Selenite crystals often go underappreciated as powerful aura cleansing crystals, yet this material often remains undervalued in crystal collections. However, its true potential lies in being an attractive addition that also supports other crystals.

Selenite is said to expand consciousness and facilitate connection with spiritual guides; additionally, it may protect against psychic attacks.

If you are experiencing too much negative energy in your space, use a selenite wand to “sweep” through and clear out unwanted energies. Or place a charging plate or bowl within living spaces to automatically cleanse and recharge their energy levels on its own.

Smokey Quartz

Smokey Quartz is an anchoring stone associated with the root chakra and intuition, encouraging us to listen to our gut reactions rather than dismiss those little voices in our heads that tell us something is amiss.

This dark smoky quartz from Peterson Mountain features an amethyst-colored scepter and surface patterns formed by artichoke-shaped prism faces that have grown on its surface.

These smoky quartz crystals are epitactically intergrown with microcline feldspar on a granite miarole pocket in the western Erongo Mountains, featuring steep rhombohedral faces that are partially obscured by fine pocket detritus.
