The holiday season can be SO joyous, but it can also be challenging at times. It's important to keep yourself grounded, protected, and balanced during this busy time of year so that you can truly enjoy the magic and delights of the season. I like to do this using my favourite crystals for the holidays, which is why I've put together this important list of crystals for all of your holiday needs. I hope it serves you well and helps you create a very merry season ahead!   Crystals for Holiday Cheer: Shungite, Black Onyx, & Hematite: These stones create a protective shield around you and continually transmute negative or stagnant energy into positive, freely flowing energy. They keep you from getting swept up in any holiday drama so you can be  joyful and just enjoy the magic of the season.   Clear Quartz, Selenite, & Smoky Quartz: These crystals purify the energy of your home and all who enter it. They will amplify the properties of any other stones in your space to make a BIG impact on the flow of energy in your home, helping to keep things merry and bright.   Carnelian, Orange Calcite, & Sunstone: These crystals encourage easy communication and the natural flow of joy throughout the holiday season. They also bring calming peace to your holiday gatherings by increasing positive thought patterns and keeping emotions steady & balanced.   Crystals for Self-Love During the Holiday Season: Rhodochrosite, Pink Opal, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, & Morganite: Work with these crystals to help you see just how truly special you are. These crystals can help you focus on self-love during the holidays (which is especially needed since there are so many extra triggers and stress factors this time of year). Emerald, Peridot, Malachite, & Lapis Lazuli: Work with these stones to open your heart while keeping firm boundaries in place. These crystals are especially helpful for empaths that tend to get dragged into other people's issues or for those who are easily drained (both physically and emotionally).     Want to really treat yourself to some positive self-love vibes this holiday season? Close your eyes and think about a crystal that you've been wanting for a long time now. Find one at a local shop or online that you feel drawn to purchase, then wrap it up lovingly in wrapping paper or a special box. Trust me... you deserve it :)     Crystals for the Holidays - Prosperity & Abundance: Clear Quartz & Clear Apophyllite: Enhances your wealth-gathering energy.   Citrine & Peridot: Helps to draw in wealth & abundance to best serve your needs at this time.   Pyrite & Red Garnet: Adds powerful gratitude energy to your awareness.  When we are grateful for what we already have in our lives, our ability to manifest prosperity and abundance flows freely and comes easier to us.  Remember…Ask, Believe, Receive – it’s all about the law of attraction. Show your gratitude to the Universe and you will draw in more of what you are grateful for.   Green Aventurine & Green Jade: These are stones of good luck – this might show up in the form of finding the perfect gift at the perfect price, scoring a bonus holiday sale deal, or sharing in the generosity of those around you.  Since they are also associated with wealth, these are the perfect stones to energetically support your holiday manifesting.   Crystals for the Holidays - Gift-Giving: Love Stones For Your Partner Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Rhodochrosite, Watermelon Tourmaline, Pink Tourmaline, Green Aventurine   Friendship Stones Pink Botswana Agate, Apache Tear, Emerald, Pink Halite, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Pink Tourmaline   Best Crystals for Children Amethyst, Azurite, Charoite, Labradorite, Clear Quartz, Lapis Lazuli   Communication Stones for Co-Workers Sodalite, Aquamarine, Angelite, Blue Topaz, Celestite, Chrysocolla, Blue Quartz   Positive Energy Stones Anyone Would Love
