This time of year, with all the pink and red heart decor, it’s hard to keep love off the brain and romantic or not, it’s important to have love and joy in your life in any form. This love could come from within, or even the things your surround yourself with, and for me that thing is crystals. These beautiful little minerals bring me endless positive energy and this valentines day are bringing the self love I need. So whether you’re in a relationship, healing from a split, or just taking care of you, here is a list of some crystals that are great for every type of love.
Rose Quartz
If you’ve ever heard or read anything about crystals you will recognize this one, but it’s popular for a reason. If you want to cover all bases, rose quartz is the way to go as it is associated with the heart chakra, whichpromotes self love, romantic love, platonic love and everywhere in between. Not only does this crystal bring compassion and acceptance for yourself, but it also is said by crystal bloggers to attract love to you. If you’re not looking for love, that’s fine too because rose quartz can help you heal from past pain and emotional wounds someone may have caused you.
Garnet
While some call garnet the “stone of health,” it is also widely regarded as a stone of commitment. Garnet enhances devotion and warmth, bringing owners courage and hope. Garnet is especially useful for those in relationships as it is understanding and alleviates emotional disharmony, so if you have to have an important talk with your partner, maybe bring some garnet with you. If that talk goes well, garnet is also known to balance and assist your sex drive, but you didn’t hear that from me.
Amazonite
This is another one of those crystals that covers a lot of bases. Amazonite helps alleviate your anxiety and fears, helping to bring forward the true you. With this new found harmony you are allowed to be your most confident an truthful self. Amazonite also is known to manifest universal love and bring trust and communication into your relationships.
Ocean Jasper
Ocean Jasper is one of those crystals I’ve never heard of,but it has great benefits for yourself as well asattracting love. It is known to open your heart thus inviting love to find you, but it also is referred to as a “supreme nurturer” that offers you empowerment and joy. Looking for love or not, ocean jasper is a good friend to keep in your pocket if you simply need a lift.
Tigers Eye
For all my strong singls out there, this one is for you. This beautiful crystal provides strength and courage to keep pushing, because whether or not we like to admit it, sometimes it’s hard to be alone this time of year. Tigers eye takes all those negative feelings from you and allows you to feel confident and resilient. We have to be steadfast in our journeys if we want to complete our goals, and this is a crystal to help us do it.
Emerald
Last but definitely not least, one of the highest regarded crystals for love is emerald. While it isgenerally known as the birth stone of May, it’s also a stone all about the heart. The phrases “domestic bliss” and “unconditional love” are often used in describing what emerald invites to all those in relationships. Do not worry if you are single because emerald has so much more to offer. The crystal activates the heart chakra, not only opening yourself to love and compassion but also allowing you the courage to follow your heart’s path, whatever that may be.
