Healing stones and crystals have been used to promote spiritual and emotional healing since ancient times.
In recent years, crystal healing has become more mainstream, with many people incorporating them into their holistic health routines.
Although there currently isn’t any scientific evidence for the health benefits of crystals, many people use them to aid them in their meditation or yoga practice, which do have proven health benefits.
Crystals are especially relevant when it comes to different chakra healing practices, as each chakra has a multitude of crystals and stones that resonate with that chakra’s vibrational energy.
Crown Chakra
The crown chakra, also known as the Sahasrara, is the seventh chakra and the last of the body’s energy centers. Opening the crown chakra is thought to connect us to cosmic consciousness and spiritual energies.
Located at the top of the head, the crown chakra is often represented by the color white or violet and is associated with both a purple and white aura.
When the crown chakra is blocked, we feel disconnected from the universe and our surroundings, but when it is balanced and clear, we experience feelings of goodwill, joy, wisdom, insight, and a sense of spiritual balance.
Crown Chakra Stones
One way to balance and align the crown chakra is through the use of crown chakra stones. These stones are specially chosen for their energetic properties and ability to resonate with the crown chakra’s energy.
They can be used by wearing them on your physical body or by incorporating them into other chakra healing practices such as; chakra yoga, bija meditation, mudras, pranayama, or affirmations.
Sugilite
Sugilite is a purple stone that is known for its powerful healing properties. It is said to help with stress, anxiety, and grief by opening the third eye and crown chakras and increasing intuition.
Users of Sugilite report feelings of positive energy, spiritual connection, and inner guidance when using this mineral.
Rainbow Quartz
Rainbow quartz is a type of clear quartz with a rainbow-like iridescent effect.
Rainbow quartz is said to be a stone of cosmic energies reflecting all the spectrum colors and working with all of the chakras.
It’s also thought to increase lucid dreaming and visualization by aligning the pineal gland and crown chakra.
Howlite
Howlite is a white or light-colored mineral that is known for its calming and soothing energies.
Some people also believe that howlite can help to improve communication and self-expression, making it a powerful tool for those looking to overcome shyness or social anxiety.
Howlite is especially useful when used alongside other stones to balance the crown chakra, as it helps to clear negative energy.
Diamond
Diamonds are a type of precious gemstone that is known for its incredible hardness and brilliant sparkle.
In addition to being prized for their beauty and durability, diamonds are also valued for their spiritual and healing properties.
Diamonds are used when working on the crown chakra because they are believed to inspire feelings of clarity, insight, and inner guidance.
Ametrine
Ametrine is unique because it is a combination of amethyst and citrine, which are typically different crystals.
This creates a unique purple and yellow coloration in the stone, which is not commonly seen in gemstones.
Ametrine’s unique colorations symbolize emotional balance and masculine and feminine energy harmony.
Moonstone
Moonstone is known for its iridescent sheen, which is caused by the light diffraction within its structure.

It is commonly used in meditation and yoga practices.
