Crystals are wonderful and versatile tools for healing and energy work. When you find the right crystal, working with it can be like magic. Crystals are vibrational, and in order for them to be most effective for your healing, spiritual development, or whatever else you are using them for, you have to jive and groove with them. 

While it would be great to own hundreds, it’s not always practical or economically feasible. Heather Askinosie, co-founder of Energy Muse Jewelry,  and a leading influencer on the power of crystals, breaks down the major benefits (from relaxation to enhanced connection and serious empowerment) of six significant stones.  Remember, there are countless ways to work with these amazing gems. 

Think of them as your high-vibe tool kit manifested!

A very powerful healing stone that detoxifies our body by absorbing and eliminating any negative energies, while also protecting us from harmful EMF waves. Throughout the day, we are exposed to technology in our offices, cars, stores, and even other people's bodies emit harmful radiation. Shungite properties also have the ability to protect our energy fields. This is the one stone we cannot live without and should keep nearby at all times.

A deep-rooted crystal, garnets ensure that our energy flows smoothly through our body. Being that it is similar to the color of our blood, it serves as a subconscious reminder that when our blood is moving and flowing, we feel more energized. Garnet is the stone of action and is an energetic motivator. It sparks our inner drive when our mind is telling us otherwise.

Pyrite is for luck and abundance, and also acts as an energy shield by protecting us from our own fears and insecurities. We have a duality that prosperity is outside of us, but it is really inside of us. Pyrite holds energy from the sun that allows us to see our self in golden rays, reclaiming our prosperity.

A stone for self-worth and self-love, rhodonite helps us release perfectionist ways, shines light on our dark places, and eases our soul when we are our own worst enemy. Rhodonite facilitates unconditional love, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Fluorite brings tranquillity and serenity into our essence by ensuring that we keep a constant flow of positive energy. It also increases our concentration and decision-making skills, and by keeping one with us at all times, it makes our day-to-day tasks flow gracefully in our life.

One of the softest healing crystals, selenite promotes calmness, balance, and gentleness throughout our body. It helps open up our third eye and crown chakras, bringing forth deep peace and mental clarity. Selenite also quickly removes stagnant energies and blockages through the day, making it an essential crystal to have in your repertoire. Bonus: When you place other healing stones atop or next to the selenite, the energy of the gemstones is greatly magnified many times!
