What are the 5 Best Crystals you can have in your spiritual toolbox?

We live in an incredible time. The earth has given us access to so many beautiful and powerful crystals and gems from across the globe, available to us through shop vendors big and small. A lot of people have asked me during my time of using crystals and forwarding them on to others 'I'm just starting out. What are the best crystals?' Well, the answer varies.....it depends on what your intention is and what you would like to achieve. 
​
Crystals aren’t just sparkly, they resonate in different frequencies hence different stones for different chakras. One of the first crystals I ever purchased was an Amethyst Geode. However, if you don't know where to start, there are 5 that I would recommend anyone have to start off their journey with. They are universal and offer the most variety for every individuals.

1. Amethyst – Meditation, Tranquility & Spiritual Calm
Amethyst – The Stone of Spiritual Wisdom
​
Amethyst is a radiant crystal of peace, protection, and higher knowing. Deeply connected to the Crown Chakra, it calms the mind, soothes the soul, and invites you to surrender into divine wisdom. This stone acts as a guardian against negativity, while encouraging restful sleep and lucid dreams.

  • Supports spiritual growth and deep inner knowing
  • Calms the mind and promotes peaceful, restful sleep
  • Protects against negative energy and psychic stress
  • Activates the Crown Chakra for divine connection

How to Use These Crystals

Crystals work at their best when they are cleared and charged. We need to connect with them intentionally to assist us at their best.
Here are a few gentle ways to invite their energy into your life:
  • Carry them in a pouch or pocket for daily energetic support
  • Place them under your pillow to promote peaceful sleep
  • Meditate with one on your heart, third eye, or palms
  • Create a calming crystal grid for your sacred space
  • Pair them with affirmations or journaling for deeper healing
You don’t need to “do” a lot—just sit with them, breathe, and listen.
Sacred Ritual Tip:
​
Hold your chosen crystal to your heart. Take a few deep breaths. Whisper your intention for peace. Let the crystal hold space for you. Observe what arises in your mind and body.
Working with Crystal energy can be a rewarding experience. I carry the combination of Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Black Tourmaline with me regularly through tough emotional moments. Even though this is my Top 5, you can also use Kunzite, Clear Quartz, Prehnite, White Howlite and Black Obsidian.
​
May your journey with crystal energy be bright and beautiful.
