Amethyst

I’ll share which crystals to use for di;erent kinds of

stress and anxiety, and then I’ll share more about
each individual crystal.

Types of Stress (& Which Crystals to

Try)

Crystals are extremely personal–and choosing the right

crystal for you has as much to do with intuition and
listening to what your heart needs as it does following a
certain prescription. However, here are some ideas to
help you get started using gemstones for anxiety relief!

Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal stress–stress resulting from PMS, hormonal

imbalances, or other “female problems”–can beneMt
hugely from pink opal, due to its balancing properties.
Amethyst is another great option because of its
balancing, grounding abilities.

SpeciMc Fears or Worries

If you’re wrestling with speciMc frustrations or stresses

(as opposed to a general sense of worry or anxiety),
reach for selenite or tourmaline.

Selenite is a cleansing stone that will help you work

through negative energy to get to the heart of whatever
is bothering you, and tourmaline will increase your
compassion and understanding and inspire you to solve
the problems that are causing you anxiety.

Vague, IndeMnable Worry

Amazonite is truly the perfect stone to reach for when

you’re experiencing any kind of anxiety or stress–
especially the kind of worry that you can’t quite name.
It’s extremely calming (let its beautiful blues and greens
remind you of an island getaway!) and can enhance
your ability to communicate your worries to a trusted
conMdant.

Blue lace agate is another steadying stone to reach for.

It, too, can promote increased clarity, and can help you
feel more balanced.

Fiery, All-Up-In-My Feels Stress

If your stress has you on high alert, look to aquamarine,

blue kyanite, or topaz. All three are extremely calming–
when it comes to stones for stress and anxiety, you truly
can’t beat any of these! Blue kyanite is like a chill pill for
your inner self, aquamarine calms the mind, and topaz is
the ultimate cooling stone.

Confusion & Indecision

Sometimes stress or anxiety is the result of needing to

make a big decision. If that’s the case for you, you might
be having trouble connecting to your inner intuition.

Try celestite. It can help you bypass all those logical

“what ifs” that are tying you up in knots, and allow your
heart to speak freely.

Stress at Work

One of my favorites crystals for stress at work is

amethyst, for its protection and courage-building
qualities. Whether you need to overcome imposter
syndrome, inspire more creativity, or just bring balance
to a di^cult work environment, you truly can’t go wrong
with this beautiful purple or lavender stone.

10 Anti-Stress Crystals

Ready for a closer look at each of our crystals for stress

relief?

1. Amazonite

Amazonite gets its name from the mighty Amazon River

in South America, but it has been found in use by
ancient civilizations in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Amazonite handles negative energy, worry, and fear like
a boss. What’s especially interesting, too, is that this
stone is known for its ability to inspire courage and
truth–turns out, those feelings of anxiety aren’t always
telling us the truth.

Pair with: ylang ylang

2. Selenite

Rock nerd alert: selenite is actually a form of gypsum!

It’s much prettier however ;), and has what crystal
experts believe is an extremely powerful vibration.

This just means it’s a clearing, opening kind of stone

that pairs perfectly with other crystals and can help you
release worry and fear. Selenite also promotes harmony
and balance with your inner self.

Pair with: frankincense

3. Tourmaline

Tourmaline comes in all dicerent kinds of colors, which

makes sense because it’s known for its ability to attract
inspiration.

Tourmaline also helps promote a better understanding

of yourself by increasing your capacity for compassion–
both for yourself and others. And as most of us know,
stressful times almost always call for greater
compassion!

Pair with: palo santo

4. Pink Opal

Pink opal is as renewing and life-giving as its beautiful

color. It’s relaxing and restoring (it’s a great stone to
keep by your bed for a good night’s sleep) and brings
your whole being back into balance and alignment.

It’s especially beneMcial during times of transition or

change (ie, stressful times).

Pair with: clary sage

5. Celestite

Celestite gets its name from the Latin word for celestial,
and it absolutely makes sense when you see this
beautiful, blue, sky-like stone! Celestite gets major points
for its cooling, calming ecect.

It’s also known for its ability to unlock amazing dreams

while you sleep, so you deMnitely want to keep this
crystal near your pillow. Celestite can also help you get
back in touch with your inner intuition, and let your
inner, whimsical child out; play can be a fantastic stress-
reliever.

Pair with: lavender

6. Blue Kyanite

Blue kyanite is a straightforward stone, just like its

striated pattern. It’s known for opening up the throat
chakra and enhancing communication, so if you’re
having di^culty getting the right words out, this is your
crystal.

Blue kyanite looks cloudy, but it has the opposite ecect

on your mind: it can bring clarity and concision to a
cloudy brain.

Pair with: orange

7. Blue Lace Agate

It’s no surprise that lots of crystals for stress and anxiety

are blue and green–color speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

Blue lace agate is a beautiful smooth stone with

stunning stripes of color. It’s a happy stone that can lift
your mood and bring peace to your mind, much like a
beautiful day can, but it’s also a healing stone. Use it to
soothe and nurture a sad heart.

Pair with: sandalwood

8. Aquamarine

Aquamarine is exceptionally good at closure; if you need

to be able to move on from a situation that’s caused you
pain or stress, this beautiful blue-green stone can help
you do that.

Aquamarine is also an inspiring stone that can help you

express yourself, but it won’t cause extra stress–lean into
it for soothing, calming vibes.

Pair with: Roman chamomile

9. Amethyst

Amethyst is such an all-around useful stone, and it’s

especially good at bringing balance to an entire room or
space (why do you think it’s used so often in home
decor?).

If your whole household or work environment seems out

of whack, try amethyst for its centering, balancing ecect.
It can also help protect you from negative energy and
toxicity, and increase your sense of self-conMdence so
that you can better advocate for yourself.

Pair with: ylang ylang

10. Topaz

Topaz is cool and icy–which feels like heaven when

you’re all Mery and up in your feels. Topaz brings joy,
good fortune, and love, which might be why you can also
expect a greater sense of conMdence when you’re near
it!

Topaz is also a great goals stone; if your stress is

stemming from trouble meeting your goals, reach for
this crystal.

Pair with: lavender

How to Use Crystals for Stress and

Anxiety Relief
There are so many ways to use gemstones for stress and
anxiety relief. Here are my favorites:

1. Display & Smile

If you’re smiling, you’re winning! Crystals don’t have to

be complicated–if looking at them makes you happy,
you’re already experiencing their positive impact!

You can leave crystals (like the ones in this stress +

anxiety kit) out on your desk, your nightstand, the
kitchen counter…wherever you’ll see them often.

2. Hold

Palm stones (like the selenite stone in this kit or this

amazonite palm stone) are chosen speciMcally for how
they feel in the hand.

You can hold them while you speak an a^rmation or

intention over your day. You can also meditate while you
hold them. Often, just feeling their cool weight in your
hand will help you feel more grounded and centered.

3. Roll

My absolute favorite way to use crystals is with essential

oils. You can even choose essential oil roller bottles with
crystals already in them (like these crystal rollers for
stress)!

4. Wear

Wearing crystals (like these gemstone dicusing bracelets

for stress and calm) is a wonderful way to get maximum
beneMts from your gemstones. You can learn more about
wearing crystals here.

Double the Impact of Your Crystals

for Stress and Anxiety By Using Them
With Essential Oils!

If you’re a natural wellness lover like I am, you’ll love

using essential oils with your crystals (and in case you
need it, I have a whole guide right here for you!). Here
are some of my favorite essential oils for stress relief:

Ylang ylang
Frankincense
Lavender
Sandalwood
Roman chamomile
Palo santo
Clary sage
Orange

All of these oils pair beautifully with crystals for stress

and anxiety, whether you’re dicusing them in your
gemstone dicuser bracelet or adding them to a
gemstone roller bottle! Simply apply or roll on your oil to
pressure points (the back of your neck, your wrists, the
base of your spine, etc.) and breathe deeply several
times.
