7 Protection Crystals to Add to Your Collection
Hello Sunflowers,
When people hear the word "protection," they often imagine crystals creating a shield around them. In crystal traditions, protection can mean different things to different people. Some people choose protection crystals to help them feel grounded, others to encourage healthy boundaries, and some simply enjoy carrying a crystal that brings them comfort and confidence.
Here are seven crystals commonly associated with protection.
Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is probably the crystal I reach for most often, and without a doubt my favourite protection crystal.
I love carrying Black Tourmaline with me because it reminds me to stay grounded throughout the day. Whether you keep it in your pocket, your handbag, or beside your front door, it's one of the most popular protection crystals for a reason.
Black Obsidian
Black Obsidian is traditionally associated with protection and helping to clear away unwanted energy. It's a popular choice for people who enjoy meditation or want a crystal that encourages self-reflection.
Black Agate
Black Agate is another protection crystal that I love. It's one of the bracelets I wear regularly and is often associated with strength, stability, and grounding.
Smokey Quartz
Smokey Quartz is commonly chosen by people looking to feel grounded and calm. Its smoky colour makes it one of the most recognisable protection crystals.
Labradorite
Anyone who knows me knows I have a bit of a Labradorite obsession!
I've completely lost count of how many Labradorite pieces I own. While I'm drawn to it because every piece has a unique flash of colour, it's also traditionally associated with protection and transformation.
Hematite
Hematite is often associated with grounding and stability. Many people enjoy carrying a Hematite tumble in their pocket throughout the day.
Tiger's Eye
Tiger's Eye has long been associated with courage, confidence, and protection. It's a wonderful crystal for anyone looking to feel empowered while taking on new challenges.
