Protective Crystals

Crystals may provide relief to certain individuals; however, these should not be used as a replacement treatment option for mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.

These protective crystals can be worn as jewelry or placed throughout the home to help dispel negative energy and foster serenity. It is important that they be cleansed regularly in order to remain effective.

Moonstone

Moonstone is known to help balance and soothe energies. It may protect its wearer from negative energy while increasing intuition, encouraging creativity, and drawing abundance towards them.

Moonstone (hecatolite) is an aluminium sodium silicate mineral belonging to the feldspar group that emits an attractive blue sheen known as adularescence due to light diffracted through layers of orthoclase and albite crystals.

Moonstone of superior quality is clear and translucent with vivid blue adularescence and no inclusions that affect its sheen, with deposits found primarily in Sri Lanka and India but with smaller quantities also present in Madagascar, Myanmar, Australia and the US.

Obsidian

Black obsidian is an exceptional crystal for protection, offering powerful protection from negative energy. Absorbing and transmuting such energy, it serves to turn negative energies into positivity and is one of the best crystals available.

Place an obsidian near your home entrance to absorb all energy entering from outside and protect your space from outside influences. Also beneficial is placing one or two obsidian crystals at each corner to form an energetic shield that keeps any negative vibrations out.

Hematite is an esteemed healing crystal known for protecting one’s aura and creating emotional balance. It can also be effective at relieving anxiety, inducing restful sleep patterns and building self-esteem.

Amethyst

Amethyst is an amulet known to soothe the mind, body and emotions with its tranquil lavender hues. Additionally, amethyst makes an effective sleep aid by encouraging peaceful restful dreams; including it in meditation practices helps ease mental strain while deepening spiritual relationships.

Amethyst crystal is an invaluable asset when working with oneiromancy (interpreting dreams), or trying to develop intuition or psychic abilities. Placing amethyst stones around high tension areas such as homes or workplaces helps balance and reassure those spaces, providing a soothing effect and increasing productivity.

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline (commonly referred to as Schorl) is an ideal energetic shield and powerful protector against negative energy. This stone absorbs dense vibrations and transforms them into lighter frequencies – providing an ideal energetic shield.

Crystals such as Fluorite can help ease anxiety by grounding and stabilizing. Furthermore, this crystal can aid in the release of emotional trauma and promote healing on an emotional level.

Place black tourmaline near electronic devices or wifi routers to balance artificial frequencies and promote harmonious coexistence with natural energies. Black tourmaline care can be taken care of easily, simply burying it overnight in dry sea salt or rinsing it under cool running water.

Clear Quartz

Clear quartz is an extremely protective crystal that dispels negative energy and bad vibes from any environment. Also dubbed as the “master healer”, its properties strengthen your intentions as well as those of surrounding crystals.

Neutralising electromagnetic and petrochemical pollution as well as stimulating immunity is crucial in maintaining balance in body and mind. Reiki cleanses all chakras, amplifies and enhances organs and subtle bodies and acts as a deep soul cleanser bridging physical dimensions with spiritual ones.

Hematite

Hematite is an iron oxide mineral with many varied forms and colors, accounting for the red-brown hue of many soils and found both in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Additionally, hematite provides iron ore. While pure hematite does not possess magnetic properties on its own, by treating it further it can become magnetic hematite.

Hematite has long been used as a pigment, decorative stone and polishing compound since the Stone Age. Some of the oldest cave paintings ever painted contain images on hematite; NASA even found some on Mars suggesting water once flowed there! Hematite provides grounding energy which connects directly to your root chakra.

Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz’s deep, earthy tones evoke feelings of stability and grounding, making it an excellent stone to use when dealing with stress or tension. Furthermore, its protective nature means it absorbs negative energy before transmuting it – an invaluable resource for managing stress or tension.

Smoky quartz crystals can often be found in alpine fissures and pockets in granite, such as this specimen from Switzerland’s miarole pocket, a classic location for this form of crystal.

Wearing jewelry made from smoky quartz can be an easy and effective way to incorporate its protective energies into daily life and meditation practice, offering grounding and safety benefits.
