Let's begin with our top ten favorite Crystals for Protection!

1. You can't talk about crystals for protection without mentioning Black Tourmaline. One of the most protective stones, Black Tourmaline clears the auric field and can protect against psychic attacks or what many simply call "bad vibes." This powerful protector can also clear your space of all negative energy. Meditate with black tourmaline to bring about a feeling of harmony and balance. 

2. Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals. But did you know it is also one of the most protective? Since ancient times, amethyst has been used as a protective amulet, even reportedly being used in the breastplate of the high priest of Israel. Associated with the Crown Chakra, Amethyst can help in meditation and achieving a higher consciousness. Long hailed as a stone of royalty, this rich-hued crystal can help in releasing negative influences and attachments.

3. If you're looking to transmute any negative energy around you into positivity, then Smoky Quartz is for you! This beautiful, moody-looking crystal is associated with the Root Chakra and is also wonderful for grounding. If you're feeling disorganized, keep Smoky Quartz in your space--it can help bring about a sense of focus and organization. Because of all of these qualities, Smoky Quartz is also a powerful crystal for manifestation.

4. Selenite, looks like moonlight captured in crystal form. Indeed, it is named for Selene, the Greek goddess of the Moon. Selenite purifies your auric field and the surrounding space. It can even clear the energy of other crystals! Associated with the higher chakras, Selenite can help you connect with your spirit guides and the angelic realm.

5. Shungite has a long history as a purifier. The Ancient Romans lined their aqueducts with shungite to purify water. Holding shungite can also help purify and cleanse your energy, bringing it more in tune with the Light Body. Also good for psychic protection, shungite can help dispel any negative thought patterns.

This black stone can help us make positive choices to help manifest a positive reality. A powerful Root Chakra stone, Obsidian can help ground during meditation.

9. Hematite is an iron orel that is one of the strongest stones for grounding and protection, shielding your auric field from all negative energies. Hematite also can help you see the positive in any negative situation. This makes hematite not only good for protection, but also a great stone for manifestation.
