Meet your new Crystal BFFs

​

Agate

Agate works because it connects you to a broader perspective, and it helps you to see the pros and cons of any given situation. This makes it a good stone for those of us looking to enter a new chapter in life – a new relationship, a new career move, and so on – safely and with confidence. For centuries, Agate has been heralded as a stone of remarkable balance and grounding energy bringing with it a great sense of positivity.

​

Amazonite

Amazonite is often seen as a stone of bravery. It can awaken you to your own courage, and help you to take a stand assertively but compassionately when shattering the illusions that keep you living the same mistakes over and over.

Amethyst

Amethyst can awaken you to higher wisdom and connect you to guidance from beyond the physical world, but it’s just as effective as a stone for physical healing too. As well as soothing headaches and joint pain, Amethyst also has an aura of tranquility about it.

Because of this, it’s a good crystal for stress relief, and for stopping your mind from cycling through the same handful of worries over and over again, disrupting sleep and concentration.

 

Apatite

Ambition and a sense of enthusiasm about life all get amplified when the energies of Apatite are let into your life. This stone has a wonderful color that enhances clarity in your mind, too, and it can be fascinating to sit with a piece and look at the patterns formed in its natural makeup.

Aventurine

Aventurine is a crystal that’s closely connected to the heart chakra, and that’s where a lot of old sayings about following one’s heart are born. It connects you to good fortune and lucky streaks. While belief in luck differs from one person to the next, a little extra good fortune coming one’s way hardly hurts!

Black Tourmaline

Like many crystals that share its density and color, Black Tourmaline is something of a guardian stone, protecting you against negative energy.

The crystal has therefore become especially popular with people who are natural empaths, or otherwise apt to pick up on the emotions and energies of others. Black Tourmaline forms a strong barrier between you and others, and ensures that you can’t be dragged into drama or emotional blackmail. However, Black Tourmaline can also be used to protect places and other people, the more you learn to work with its energies.

 

Bloodstone

 Bloodstone can help to alleviate your spirit body’s energy centers. Bloodstone is connected to the root chakra, which is that which anchors you most in physical reality. This is a stone about enjoying the moment, then, and experiencing life’s pleasures.
