The Best Crystals For Love & Relationships

As human beings we are programmed to need other human beings. We function best in groups or families, and it is not usually good for us to be alone, in the true sense of the word, for any prolonged length of time. The truth is that we are hard-wired to be part of a tribe, or “herd” so that we have the best chance of survival. It is also true that many of us struggle to form, and keep, lasting bonds with just one other person. If this sounds familiar to you, you may find some comfort in realizing that your “relationships” are not confined to the monogamous norm our society has imposed on us in fairly recent times.

Take a moment to note down all of the different relationships you value in your life. Clubs and societies, work colleagues and friends, older and younger family members, your local community, the people who share your particular interest in something, the possibilities are truly endless!

However, when you know that you need or want to work on a particular aspect of the way you relate to others, many people find crystals a meaningful reminder of their intentions.

Crystals for Passion and Confidence

Passion can manifest itself in many different ways. For some, it flares like a volcano and subsides quickly; for others it acts more like a slow burning fuse; yet others find that it waxes and wanes just like the moon; at times it seems to be all-important, at others it is merely incidental.

Yellow Jasper

In metaphysical belief, Yellow Jasper is a traditional stone of vitality and passion. This variety of Jasper is described as having a brighter, livelier energy than the more mellow resonance of Green or Red Jasper, and it is associated with optimism and zest for life. Many people also wear Yellow Jasper as a symbol of self-confidence and of feeling comfortable in their own skin.

Smoky Quartz

In metaphysical belief, Smoky Quartz is a grounding stone associated with feeling at home in your own body.

Smoky Quartz teaches us that sexuality is an integral part of being human, and that allowing ourselves to feel, and experience, sensual pleasure, is important for our well-being.  It shows us that we are not separate from our needs, and that our sexuality is aligned with our spirituality, not apart from it.

Crystals for Communication

Effective communication is at the heart of all inter-human relationships, but very often it goes awry, leading to misunderstandings and hurt or heartbreak. It is not enough, when someone says you have hurt them to simply say “I didn’t mean to” and expect the situation to resolve itself.

Speaking with clarity and integrity is vital in all walks of life, and effective communicators are at a distinct advantage in every way.

Lapis Lazuli

Most blue stones are closely aligned with the Throat chakra, the “voice of the body” and the center of our verbal communication with the world. Lapis Lazuli also resonates with the Third Eye, allowing your natural insight and wisdom to inform your communication with others. It is traditionally linked with the Throat chakra and with speaking your truth with clarity and without fear.

Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace Agate is a delicate, pale blue, often with veins of creamy white running through it. It has a much gentler effect than Lapis Lazuli and you may want to wear a necklace of these beautiful stones to allow your Throat chakra to remain clear and balanced all day. With the help of Blue Lace Agate your communications will be delivered with compassion and love, but will be no less clear and authentic for that.

Crystals for Love and Romance

To call Love to you there are a wide variety of crystals to choose from. Rose Quartz is an obvious choice for anything love related, although many other crystals can be just as meaningful if it is romantic love you are seeking.

Pink Tourmaline

As well as having the reputation for being a stone of abundance, Pink tourmaline is said to actively attract romantic love to you, if you ask it to. To program your stone in this way hold it in your hand and allow yourself to relax. Feel the vibrations of the crystal and allow it to pick up on your own aura or energy field. When you are “in tune” with the stone, firmly state your desires and wishes regarding love, romance, and relationships. Use only positive affirmations and speak using the present tense.

In metaphysical belief, pink tourmaline is a stone of comfort in matters of the heart. It is associated with an open Heart chakra and is often chosen as a reminder of courage at the start of a new relationship.  

Kunzite

This crystal, in soft, delicate shades of pink, is a stone of deep love, true commitment and inner peace. It is said to attract the perfect partners to one another and to keep them loyal and faithful for as long as is right and necessary for both parties. It is believed to hold a deep spiritual wisdom that never leads you astray. Kunzite is traditionally associated with restoring trust after times of heartbreak and with building relationships between like-minded people.

Rose Quartz

Rose quartz is the perfect stone for those looking to attract love or improve their existing relationships. This pink-hued crystal is associated with the heart chakra, making it a powerful tool for promoting love and compassion. Rose quartz is also associated in metaphysical belief with releasing anger and resentment. Many single people carry a piece of rose quartz as a symbol of openness to new love, and for couples, rose quartz in the home is a traditional reminder to keep the romance alive. No matter your relationship status, rose quartz is a great way to promote positive vibrations of love.

If you’re looking to attract love into your life, or improve an existing relationship then these gemstones are a good fit for you. Many people wear a necklace or bracelet of these stones as a daily reminder of that intention. Do you have a favorite stone for love and relationships, or a piece you made for someone special?
