The Absolute Best Crystals For Good Luck, According To Crystal Experts

Whether you're looking for luck in love, your finances, or just in general, there are a ton of crystals that can help you get it. The key is understanding what each crystal is best suited for and further, how to actually work with them all.

Clear quartz is a crystalline mineral made of silica, characterized by its translucent, almost white color. It's found all around the world and primarily mined in the U.S., the Alps, Brazil, Madagascar, and Russia.

Citrine is a variety of quartz that can be found all throughout the world, though most you'll find available today is mined in Brazil or Uruguay, with known deposits in Russia, Madagascar, and Kazakhstan, as well. And when it comes to luck, citrine is thought to boost confidence, promote a positive mood, and inspire clarity and focus.

Tiger's-eye is another variety of quartz, this one characterized by its distinct brown and orange color, as well as its stripy pattern. According to crystal expert and founder of Energy Muse Heather Askinosie, it can be found today in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, the U.S., and more.

One of the most well-known stones for luck with money, green jade has a long history of use throughout Chinese history to attract both wealth and harmony. As crystal expert Kalisa Augustine previously told mindbodygreen, "Jade actually does a lot metaphysically and for the nervous system, but it is especially interesting for attracting [money] because it helps you keep calm in the middle of the storm."

Green aventurine is a type of translucent quartz and is primarily mined in India, though it's also been found in China and the state of Vermont. It's one of the most common stones associated with luck, with Askinosie previously telling mindbodygreen that even if you have never worked with crystals before, "Green aventurine's color can be an entry point for you to work with as a reminder that luck and opportunity are all around you."

Turquoise is a light blue (and sometimes greenish) mineral formed by a chemical reaction that happens when water with certain minerals like copper and aluminum leaks through rocks. Turquoise is commonly found in Arizona, as well as areas in Nepal and Tibet, according to Leavy, who adds that it has a rich symbolic history for luck all around the world.

Carnelian is a reddish-orange variety of the mineral chalcedony, and it ranges in shades from light to dark. Carnelian is an extremely energizing crystal, Van Doren notes, explaining that "Carnelian's gifts lie in sparking energizing flames in you, [getting] your inner fires burning brightly so that you can go further with your goals, desires, and dreams."

As its name suggests, rose quartz is a type of quartz and can be found all over the world, including in parts of the U.S., India, Brazil, Australia, Sweden, and more. Its properties, according to Askinosie, are "equally powerful for manifesting new relationships and deepening existing ones—whether it's the relationship you have with yourself, a romantic partner, or friends and family."

You may have heard of garnet as the birthstone for January, but you don't need to be born in January to enjoy all the luck this stone can offer. Garnet is a type of silicate mineral that comes in a variety of colors, though red is the most common color you'll find.

Labradorite is a type of feldspar mineral, getting its name from Labrador, Canada, where it was originally discovered. As Askinosie explains, it can still be found in Canada today, as well as in Madagascar, Mexico, Russia, and the United States—and it's a great stone for motivating you to create your own luck, break through limiting beliefs, and tap into higher states of consciousness.

Smoky quartz is a specific variety of the crystalline mineral quartz and is associated with grounding, igniting passion, and offering protection—which are all helpful when you need a little luck. As Leavy previously told mindbodygreen, "If you feel a little disconnected from things that you once felt really passionate about, smoky quartz can offer a good boost to help get you reconnected with those things."

Up next we have malachite, a mineral of copper carbonate hydroxide, known for its trademark green color. As Leavy previously explained to mindbodygreen, malachite is primarily found today in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as Russia and Namibia, and is associated with protection, creativity, and grounding.

Last but not least, we have black tourmaline—a variety of tourmaline, which is a crystalline boron silicate mineral. Leavy previously explained to mindbodygreen that black tourmaline is great for not only increasing motivation but also clearing away negative energy.

The key to working with crystals for any goal is to understand that certain crystals can amplify energy and/or protect you from negativity—so they require your intention and action to take the lead. In other words, grabbing a piece of jade from your local crystal shop isn't going to magically make $1,000 appear in your bank account—but you can use it to help you keep calm and centered as you work on bringing more wealth into your life.

If you've never seen a crystal grid, it's essentially a method of organizing and placing crystals on a grid in a geometric formation to enhance their properties. You can make crystal grids for love, manifesting, or in this case, luck, combining a handful of your favorite lucky crystals in an intentional pattern.

Never heard of a spell jar? It's exactly what it sounds like—a jar of spiritual items that can enhance a particular spell or intention. So in the case of creating more luck in your life, you could use lucky herbs like oregano, your favorite lucky crystals, and any other items you associate with luck, and pair the jar with an affirmation like, "Luck is always coming to me."
