Protective crystals are vibrant natural stones believed by many feng shui practitioners to have healing powers that protect living spaces from negative energy. Placing protective crystals strategically throughout a room creates a grid of energetic calm.

Hematite, Shungite, Smoky Quartz Black Tourmaline and Amethyst are excellent protective crystals to use when it comes to Feng Shui in your home or office and can effectively repel negative energies like electromagnetic frequencies from electronics devices.

Pyrite

Pyrite is an irresistibly brassy yellow metallic mineral composed of iron and sulfur that forms into stunning cubes and octahedrons with faint striations lines on some crystal faces, giving a stunning visual treat! While easy to mistake for gold when looking through its rough form, its hardness distinguishes it from its counterpart chalcopyrite with paler colors and radiating fibrous internal structure.

Vein pyrite occurs alongside other sulfide minerals in ores containing them; and with calcite and quartz in contact metamorphic rock formations. Mining involves harvesting it as iron ore; however, as it oxidizes to become sulfuric acid it releases sulfuric acid that has potentially adverse impacts downstream ecosystems.

Pyrite has also been blamed in connection with Chinese drywall imported into the US after Hurricane Katrina from China, leading to severe structural damage from oxidation and microbial sulfate reduction (which releases hydrogen sulfide gas). Pyrite is known as an abundance stone because it helps us let go of concepts holding us back.

Citrine

Citrine, a type of quartz which transmits solar energy, is November’s birthstone and an ideal sunny alternative to yellow topaz. As an influential crystal of prosperity and abundance, Citrine encourages success while dispelling fear.

Citrine can help cleanse a room of negativity by absorbing and transmuting negative energies to make you feel secure and relaxed – it is therefore regarded as one of the most protective crystals for your aura.

Citrine can help improve physical health in several ways: by stimulating digestion and the spleen and alleviating eye problems; relieving aches and pains, strengthening immunity systems and decreasing menstrual issues including hot flashes. Citrine has also been known to stimulate thymus gland activity while balancing thyroid levels. For maximum effects, cleanse it under moonlight or sunlight light for 20-30 minutes prior to running it under cold water or using sound, such as bell or singing bowl playing at its ideal pitch pitch.

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline, also known as Schorl, is an exceptional stone that protects against negative energies. It can especially aid those who are sensitive or empathic in grounding them and helping prevent feelings of overwhelm or feeling out-of-control.

Crystals such as this one can help those experiencing panic attacks to reduce symptoms and provide a calming effect, as well as those trying to break bad habits by increasing focus and clarity.

As an effective EMF protection crystal, Black Tourmaline can help shield you from negative energy in both your home and office. Additionally, this crystal can help those struggling with overthinking feel more peaceful by relieving recurrent negative thoughts. When used for meditation purposes it works particularly well when combined with Amethyst; other protective stones like Obsidian or Feronite could also prove invaluable.

Amethyst

Amethyst is a quartz crystal known for its healing properties. It encourages inner peace, brings tranquility to both mind and body, and balances chakra energy – particularly when placed near crown, third eye or throat chakras. Amethyst may assist with emotional healing, stress reduction and managing difficult relationships!

Quartz crystal is widely utilized as a meditation stone, helping to relax the mind during sleep and bring soothing dreams. Furthermore, its energy can aid in connecting to higher consciousness and spiritual guides – making it an invaluable choice for anyone on their quest to connect with the universe.

Amethyst’s purple hue comes from a combination of silicon dioxide and iron oxide in its crystal lattice, creating its molecular structure. This gem has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it suitable for facetable gems such as beads. Lower quality amethyst may be cabbed or carved for beads while high-grade specimens can be polished into jewelry pieces. Amethyst can even be treated with heat to turn green or blue (known as praxiolite), however this process may leave undetectable inclusions or even reduce its value considerably.
