It’s the season of love and while being engulfed by its aroma we might feel inspired to experience the beautiful feeling that carries the big L word. Be it with self-love, establishing new and healthy friendships, or just going out there in the dating world. Luckily, crystals might just do the trick to acquire just what you’re looking for! Crystals have been used for manifesting any type of love you desire. 

How do crystals work? Crystals are a gift from Mother Earth that carry vibrating energy; we humans are made of energy, and crystals sync with our energy to help us manifest things in our life. Sometimes we just need the right vibration to attract what we want, which is why crystals will vary because they carry different vibrations. A crystal will not make your wishes come true though, they channel your vibration in the desired direction. 

Manifestation is no other than the Law of Attraction, which states that everything you think and believe sends vibrations to the cosmos, and in response, it will send you experiences that will validate those thoughts and beliefs. 

Combining crystals with manifestations is a very effective way to speed up that response from the universe because  the right vibrations make the message clearer. So, in honor of the season of love, here are some crystal recommendations for manifesting any type of love:

  1. ROSE QUARTZ

Rose Quartz is the love crystal. Starting with the fact that it’s pink, this crystal connects directly with the heart chakra. It is charged with feminine energy, so it’s gentle and very compassionate during its work. This crystal will also fill you up with self-love and trust. If you have any wounds related to love (any type, including self-love), this crystal is perfect for helping you heal them.

  1. AMETHYST

This beautiful purple crystal should accompany you always. Its serene energy will help you during stressful moments. Amethyst is full of energy that will provide you with self-love and the peace needed to face the turmoil of love. It is also key if you’re currently suffering a breakup, as Amethyst will help with the healing of that precious heart. 

  1. GREEN AVENTURINE

The color green gives it away: this is the crystal for good luck. And since it is connected to the heart, it is associated with love too. Aventurine will bring prosperity and success, even if you are already in a relationship. 

  1. RED AGATE

If you want to spice things up, get yourself a red agate. Red will always spark passion and that is exactly what this crystal does. When you are ready to be more physical and have an intimate connection with your significant other, resort to this precious stone.

  1. GARNET

The Garnet is the stone of courage, very necessary in any type of relationship, as we need the courage to communicate, among other dynamics. This crystal is connected to the root chakra, so it will also help with stability, meaning that you will feel secure and confident to ask for what you want or what you need, and it will also help you to build stronger bonds.

  1. CITRINE

This yellow-toned stone will bring nothing but happiness into your life. So if you feel that your relationship needs a spark of joy, Citrine is the perfect stone for the occasion. 

  1. CARNELIAN

The stone of grounding is Carnelian. Love might make you feel like you are floating in mid-air, but we must keep our feet on the ground and that is why we need this stone. While it is the talisman of love, it also keeps you anchored to reality, making you have realistic expectations from others. It also frees you from the fear of trying new things.

And there you have it! I hope these 7 crystals help you in your journey of love. Remember that these will only enhance the energy that you already possess, the real magic is within you, so use it!
