My Top Recommended Crystals for Empaths

I have always adored working with crystals and stones.  So many of them are just so much fun to look at and their energy is absolutely amazing. Most of you will be able to sense their beautiful energy and can have wonderful results when working with them. Today I have a list of crystals that I think would be very helpful for you to work with.  Many of them I work with personally all the time, some even daily.  As always, what’s most important when choosing a stone or crystal to work with is how you feel when working with it.  The best thing to do is try working with them and decide which ones have the best impact on you.  You can choose one or several of them. I always say the more the merrier when it comes to working with them.  If you come to my house you will find them tucked absolutely everywhere!

Must Have:  I always recommend that everyone makes their first choice a quartz crystal.  I work with my quartz crystal most frequently.  It really is a magickal tool for me.  For more information on working with quartz check out the Daily Magick from yesterday. I have an article there for you, “The Many Uses of Quartz Crystals” that should be a huge help.

Multi-purpose:  One of the stones I often wear around my neck is amethyst.  Ametheyst is known for it’s ability to aid in protection, healing and cleansing.  That’s a lot of really versatile energy in just one stone.  It also can help to reduce stress and enhance your intuition and concentration.

Protection:  As an empath or strong intuitive, psychic protection is extremely important for us. I can honestly say that I get requests for recommendations for a protection stone the most.  I personally prefer to work with hematite.  There’s something about hematite that is equally comforting to me as well as protective. My second is Labradorite.  It’s the sister stone to Moonstone and a favorite of mine to work with.  Some other great choices are black tourmaline, obsidian, bloodstone, labradorite, jasper, and onyx. 

Grounding:  Many of the stones that are used for protection are also great to use when grounding.  Try using them when you do your grounding exercises.  Other suggestions include jasper and malachite.

Releasing Negative Energy:  Amber is a great choice to work with when grounding, and releasing any negative energy.  This is something you should be doing frequently because as empaths we can act like giant sponges for energy. 

Enhance Intuition:  Rainbow Moonstone is my absolute favorite for developing my intuition.  I have a bracelet with a beautiful rainbow moonstone that I have been wearing for a few years now.  I just love the energy on the stone.  

Calming Gemstones:  Let’s be honest, a lot of us tend to worry.. a lot. It’s quite helpful to have a stone on us that will help calm our energies.  Jade is a great choice.  Amethyst does an amazing job as well.  Combine an amethyst with your quartz from earlier and you have some powerful calming energy.

Positive Energy:  I think it’s helpful to have a gemstone that can boost our positive energy. Citrine is my favorite stone for this. This stone just lifts my energy and makes me smile.  It’s nice to have it to work with when you need that added boost.  Tiger’s eye is also a great choice.  Tiger’s eye can give you personal strength as well as joy. 

Relationships:  As empaths, we can tend to be guarded in relationships.  For some of us, trust is very hard to give away.  A great stone to work with to assist in your relationships is rose quartz.  This stone is also amazing to help us learn self-love as well which is very important.  It’s a very calming stone that will help heal us and open our hearts.

Working with your guides: I work with my guides every day and one of the first things I did when I started my formal training was to choose a stone that helped me to connect with my guides.  I was given an Angelite stone.  The energy on this stone is just so amazing. If you work with the angels you really want to get one.  This gemstone helps protect you and develop your intuition.  

Much Love and Many Blessings,
