Crystal colours

Crystals come in a wonderful range of colours and we explored how some of these can be used with the chakras based on the colour of the chakra, but using the magic of crystals based on their colour is a great way to work with crystals in all areas of your life.  

Here is a rough guide to what the colours of crystals mean:

Black – grounding and protection (for example: black tourmaline, obsidian)

         

Brown – support and nourishment (for example: smoky quartz, tigers eye)

Red (root chakra) – energy and action (for example: red jasper, garnet)

Orange (sacral chakra) – change and creativity (for example: carnelian, amber)

         

Yellow (solar-plexus chakra) – power and optimism (for example citrine, tiger's eye)

 Pink (heart chakra) – love and acceptance (for example: rose quartz, kunzite)

 Green (heart chakra) – growth and abundance (for example: jade, aventurine, fluorite)

             

 Light blue (throat chakra) – communication and wisdom (for example blue lace agate, lapis lazuli)

 Deep blue/indigo (third-eye chakra) – clarity and intuition (for example: sodalite, azurite)

 Violet/purple (crown chakra) – awakening and spirituality (for example: amethyst, lepidolite)

White or clear (all chakras) - cleansing and purifying (for example selenite, clear quartz, apophyllite)
