Crystals for Protection

To protect your living space, just place the crystals on your front door or in the corners (if you want to take it up a notch). Now if you’re working in a destructive environment, just place a crystal for protection on your desk.

Here are some of our go-to crystals:

Black tourmaline

Black Tourmaline

BLACK TOURMALINE

You can use black tourmaline to ground yourself and your space. This means reconnecting you to the earth, helping you feel calm and collected despite the chaos outside. Also, it makes the energy neutral despite being bombarded with negativity.

Aside from its grounding and protective properties, you can use tourmaline crystals to clear away negative thoughts and patterns.

Smoky quartz

Smoky Quartz

SMOKY QUARTZ

Like black tourmaline, you can also use smoky quartz for grounding. Plus, this crystal can help protect your path towards manifesting your dreams.

You see, when we want something, it needs to transition from the ethereal world into the material world. Like when Robin Sharma said, “Everything is created twice, first in the mind.”

And so, when you have this so-called “Stone of Power” it can block any harmful energies that can come between you and your goals.

Quick trivia: smoky quartz has been hailed as the national gemstone of Scotland. Locals refer to it as ‘cairngorm’ for the Cairgorm mountains.

Blue lace agate

As for its protective powers, it may guard you against bad energy and psychic attacks, such as those coming from curses or spells.

Since it’s a crystal for the throat chakra, blue lace agate can help you speak your truth and harmonize your relationships with other people.

If you’re looking to protect yourself from toxic people and the vibe they bring, you can use this stone that comes from cooled volcanic lava. In feng shui, black is connected to the water element and is associated with wisdom and fluidity.
