Ever since I rediscovered my love of crystals a few months ago, I just cannot stop buying them. There is always a new one that I just MUST have in my Spiritual collection, and they help with so many different things.
Feeling anxious? – There’s a crystal for that!
Need confidence? – There’s a crystal for that!
Want to overcome negative feelings – There’s are crystal for that!
And it got me thinking – for a beginner, this can be pretty overwhelming! There are thousands of healing crystals out there; how do you know which ones to get? Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Moonstone, Jade, Blue Howlite, Red Jasper, Amber, Black Onyx, Mookaite?
Well, I’m here to help you out with that today.
I have rounded up the top 7 healing crystals that everybody should have in their collection, beginner or not. I won’t detail how to cleanse and charge your crystals today, but keep an eye out for a future post on this!
All of my crystals are either from The Psychic Tree or a crystal shop that is local to me. When purchasing crystals, it is essential always to check that the supplier has ethically sourced the crystals. This means that the crystals come from sustainable supplies and do not use child labour.
Rough Vs Tumbled
Crystals are available in many different ways, but most commonly are available as either rough/raw or tumbled/polished. Some people believe that rough or raw crystals carry more power or energy as they have been untouched. In truth, there is no difference in the crystals, just personal preference!
Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is probably the most universally known healing crystal. It is pale pink and comes in so many shapes and sizes. It is associated with the heart chakra and is known as the crystal of unconditional love. Because of this, you will often find many of the polished tumble stones in a heart shape.
Rose Quartz opens your heart and promotes love, self-love and can also help attract love. It restores the trust and harmony in relationships and friendships and also helps with empathy and emotional healing.
It is said to bring deep healing to the heart. Because it is associated with the heart chakra, it is meant to help with the circulatory system as well.

Amethyst

Again, you have probably heard of Amethyst before. Amethyst is a stone with a high vibration. It is always purple, and like Rose Quartz, you can get it in many different shapes and sizes.
Amethysts are said to promote tranquillity, peace and calm, so it’s an excellent stone for people with anxiety. It also helps to dispel stress, strain and anger.
Amethyst is an excellent crystal to hold when you feel restless or jittery as it is a natural soother.
I have an amethyst worry stone, which is larger than a regular tumbled stone. It is slightly curved and smooth and fits lovely into the palm of my hand. I like to use it when I’m meditating or holding it and feeling the smooth edges when I’m feeling anxious.

Citrine

Citrine is a wonderful crystal that is associated with everything that is good. It is said to carry the sun’s power, providing the carrier warmth, energy, joy, delight, and enthusiasm.
Citrine is said to attract wealth, success, abundance and financial gain.
This stone is a powerful cleanser and regenerator and energisers the carrier. It also helps strengthen self-esteem and allows the carrier to be more positive, and provides motivation.
Citrine is probably my favourite crystal, and you can see why from the above!

Clear Quartz

Clear quartz is the most popular and common form of quartz. It is generally considered to be a master healer.
Quartz is a brilliant crystal for balancing and unblocking energy. It absorbs, stores, releases and regulates energy and can draw negative energy away from you. It aids concentration and assists memory by bringing clarity to the mind.
Clear quartz acts as a cleanser for the soul and helps to balance you. It is also thought that clear quartz cleanses other crystals.

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is a fantastic crystal for protection. It absorbs any negative energy, such as anxiety and anger and helps to break negative thought patterns.
It also blocks psychic attacks. This means that it will block any negative energy coming to you from another person, whether they have sent it intentionally or not. This is usually by people thinking negatively about you or having jealous thoughts.
Tourmaline is often used for grounding spiritual energy and clearing and balancing all the chakras.

Green Aventurine

Green Aventurine is associated with the heart chakra. It can help with mental healing and calm irritation and anger.
I like this crystal because it is said to protect you from electromagnetic pollution. Anything electrical gives of this pollution, such as the electrical wiring in your house, electrical appliances you own, power lines, Wi-Fi, your mobile. I keep my Green Aventurine by the Wi-Fi router, but I think I’m going to get more and dot them around the house!
Green Aventurine also provides the bearer with strength, happiness, and confidence. Finally, this crystal is also very good for settling feelings of sickness and nausea.

White Howlite

When I first delved back into the world of crystals, I acquired anything that mentioned anxiety. White Howlite was one of the first crystals that I ever purchased. This crystal is known for reducing stress and anxiety and helps with muscle pain.
The reason that I love this crystal is because it helps calm racing thoughts and aids in sleeping. I’ve always struggled with racing thoughts, especially when in bed, so I like to keep this crystal close to hand at bedtime.
