The Best Crystals For Love And Relationships

Different crystals have different benefits, but they all seem to work through vibrations, or by how our body and mind connect to them. They are used for healing, both physical and emotional. But there's more to the use of crystals than just feeling their energy. Colors have meaning as well. The color psychology of crystals aligns not only with our chakras but also with the feelings and energy that colors — even those not found in the rainbow — evoke, such as protective black.

When it comes to love and relationship crystals, there are a few colors to focus on, which include red, pink, green, blue, and even orange or yellow. Red is for love and passion, pink is for self-love, green is for the heart chakra, blue opens the throat chakra and betters communication, and orange and yellow are both passionate and creative colors. Let's look at some beneficial crystals and how to use them to enhance your love life.

When it comes to using crystals in your life, there are all sorts of things you can do with them. Some crystals work best when you keep them close to you or they are touching a certain part of your body, such as using heart chakra healing crystals on a necklace pendant. You can also hold crystals in your hands and meditate with them — or even hold your partner's hand with the crystals to better connect together.

Some crystals work best in certain rooms of the house, so when it comes to love and relationships, you want to use them in spaces where you want to enhance the love. These include bedrooms, where a crystal meant to enhance romance and intimacy would do well; and family rooms and shared vehicles, where a crystal that works to open communication may be helpful.

When it comes to love, rose quartz is the first crystal that pops into many people's minds. Not only is this a great stone for relationships, but it is also excellent for self-love. Rose quartz also helps with emotional healing, which means that you can use it to heal emotional issues within your relationships. This healing crystal also helps bring joy into your heart, which can be beneficial in many ways.

Consider meditating on rose quartz together during times of struggle in your relationship. Keep it in the bedroom to promote more love between you and your partner and for yourself. If you are in need of some calm time alone, take rose quartz with you to focus on more joy and love in your heart and your relationship. You may even want to wear a rose quartz jewelry piece or carry a heart-shaped stone as a reminder of your love.

Amazonite is kind of a bluish-green color, very much looking like the water it represents. As a watery stone, it's excellent in love and relationships because it reminds us to be more fluid. The more flexible you are in a relationship, the easier it is to come to agreements and balance things. Because of its color, this stone is very much connected to the throat chakra, which is all about communication.

If you and your partner are having trouble talking to each other, or if you struggle to get your point across, keep a piece of Amazonite on you. Use it in meditations to help clear your throat chakra, even when you and your partner are meditating together. You can keep your Amazonite in a place where it is visible as a constant reminder to work on being open and speaking about what you need in your relationship to feel happy and equal.

Another delightfully pink crystal (though it does come in some other colors) to help you embrace your inner love as well as share love outwardly is Rhodochrosite, an energizing heart chakra stone. If your relationship (or your heart) is filled with emotional clutter, this is the crystal that can help you clear all of that baggage away so that you can find peace and happiness again. Keep it in your pocket as a worry stone or wear it on a necklace to embrace its heart-happy effects.

When you're feeling down, whether it's from a bad day or because you and your partner aren't getting along, holding a chunk of Rhodochrosite is a sure way to vibrate with positive energy – and we know positivity can be contagious. When it comes to increasing positivity, keep your Rhodochrosite crystal where everyone can see it in your home to help spread the joy far and wide.

Black tourmaline is a stone many choose to turn to when it comes to needing protection, but this crystal comes in a few different colors, too.

A true heart-healing crystal, green tourmaline will help you connect with nature and find growth. It will help open your heart more, and heal any heartaches you're dealing with.

Keep this green crystal close to your heart or carry it somewhere on you to reap the most benefits. It will enhance your senses, and help you feel more connected to the natural world around you.

Kunzite is a pretty pink stone, which is more expensive the pinker it is. Darker pink kunzite kind of looks like bubblegum. Whether pale or perfectly pink, kunzite is an apt stone for both physical and emotional heart health. Keep kunzite near the organ to help strengthen it. It also connects to your crown chakra, since it comes in pale pink colors that nearly look white.

For emotional healing, kunzite is said to be great for unconditional love. If you struggle in this department, keep Kunzite nearby to help open you up more. Kunzite is also a calming stone, so it's worth having around when there is turmoil in your relationship. This stone can help you and your partner speak more from the heart and be more understanding of one another. It's worthwhile to keep kunzite in your bedroom where it can keep your heart warm and open to yourself and your partner.

The stone of opportunity, as green aventurine is known as, is very much linked to money and the heart chakra, but it also brings the owner good luck.

Focus on the crystal to allow its calming essence to ground you until you can both speak rationally again and work things out.

A cleansing stone (and not just for your blood), Bloodstone will also help you get through any misunderstandings without things blowing too out of proportion.

It is also a healing stone that lends itself to balance in all aspects of life and helps increase self-esteem. Because it is smooth, it's also great to use as a worry stone.
