💎💗Crystals for Love (Plus How to Use Them!)💎💗 (Patreon)

Let’s talk about crystals for love! Whether you're trying to manifest more love for yourself, strengthen the bond between you and your significant other, attracting new love into your life, or getting over a heartbreak, crystals can help with balancing, healing and opening up your heart chakra. Here are the best crystals for love by Eclectic Witchcraft, Bustle, Cosmo and more!

On a serious note, people have touted the purported healing properties of crystal for centuries — and there are many crystals out there that are believed to be super-effective when it comes to helping open our hearts to love, work through lingering heartaches, and enhance the loving bond in a current relationship. If you're working with crystals that you already have, know that almost any pink-colored crystal is going to be an effective love-amplifying and heart-healing stone, as pink is a calming, nurturing, and love-attracting color. Green-colored crystals can also generally be used in working on matters of the heart, as green is the color associated with our heart chakra, which represents compassion, self-love, and love for others.

If you're looking for a stone to help with a specific love-related matter, here are crystals to use that are perfect for heart healing, love manifesting, and relationship-strengthening — or all of the above!

Rose Quartz

A rose quartz by any other name would smell (or vibe?) as sweet — and that's why this verypink and very classic love stone kicks off the list. Rose quartz is the quintessential crystal for all things related to love, compassion, and matters of the heart — in regards to your relationships to others and to yourself. Its gentle, loving, heart-soothing energy will help you feel the romance and give you a confidence and self-love boost, too.

How to use it: Rose quartz is amazing for amplifying the vibrations of any positive affirmations, so use it along with a love-affirming chant. Sounds cheesy, but try it! Sit in a comfortable position and hold the crystal in your hands. Say aloud a positive affirmation about love (For example, "I radiate pure love and I receive pure love in return" — or you know, whatever you're feeling!) and visualize the rose quartz's pink and loving energy surrounding you like an aura. Repeat the chant at least 10 times — or until you stop feeling self-conscious about it and start believing it. That's when affirmations get really effective!

While it may be the most obvious and basic choice, rose quartz is genuinely a powerful crystal for the heart. It melts away the icy wall we build up on our hearts through years of heartbreak, heals our emotions, and helps us love again.

Rose quartz promotes loyal, sweet, and unconditional love. This high vibe crystal is a classic love stone for a reason. Build gentle compassion in yourself and all those who interact with you by simply carrying this crystal with you or wearing it as jewelry.

If you’re focusing more on inner work, you should meditate with rose quartz on your heart chakra. It will open and heal your heart chakra. Use it in conjunction with self-love mantras. The healing properties of the crystal are well known, and all focused on the heart and emotions. If you are going out to find a lover, carrying this crystal will help steer you away from toxic or violent people.

Place a Rose Quartz Heart on your Heart Chakra as part of your meditation practice to help you to attract love, as well as to nurture your sense of self-compassion. If you are looking for an even gentler, nurturing energy, we would recommend trying a Mangano Calcite Heart.

Moonstone

Moonstone, with its ethereal glow and colorful iridescence, is the ultimate dreamy stone for anyone inviting love into their life — or wanting to energetically connect with their lover. "Moonstone is ... the stone of love and eroticism, stimulating the kundalini energy and carnal desires," wrote Crystal Vaults. "Moonstone opens the heart to nurturing qualities as well as assisting in the acceptance of love." This stone is also connected to the moon goddess, which represents feminine power — so it's the perfect stone for stepping into your own Valentine's Day goddess energy.

How to use it: If you can get your hands on 13 moonstones (which can represent the 13 moon cycles we usually have per year), create a sexy, supercharged crystal grid in your bedroom for you and your significant other. "[F]or fidelity or fertility, make a grid of thirteen Moonstone crystals with a circle of the twelve months around a bedroom, and one centered under the bed," wrote Crystal Vaults. If you only have a single stone, place it under your bed to be near you through the night, as that's when this crystal is most activated.

Moonstones have long been associated with divine feminine energy, having been the stones representing lunar goddesses in both Ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Rainbow Moonstone is considered by many crystal healers to be a potent crystal healing stone, for it is heavily associated with fertility, nourishment, and love, making it a great crystal to use during meditation to attract these qualities.

Your cynical heart has made it hard for you to believe you’ll ever find true love? Moonstone will work to heal that negative energy, allowing you to dream of a gentle and true love again. It will manifest a lover that will really connect with you and your energy. This is a stone of love and eroticism, making it perfect to wear when you are out on a hot date. If you have a hard time connecting to your divine feminine energy, this crystal will foster a deeper connection. It also increases fertility, encourages fidelity, and makes the wearer feel sexier. It will lower your inhibitions, which is useful if you tend to be anxious, but you should always use this stone with caution.

Rhodochrosite

If you're manifesting some sweet and fresh energy into your love life, especially if you've been burned in the past, this crystal is a must-have. "Rhodochrosite is a great stone for calling a new love into one’s life," explained Crystal Vaults. "[It] can beautifully guide one in the quest for emotional happiness, help one move forward after a period of doubt, and express love toward others without fear of rejection."

How to use it: Rhodochrosite is reportedly very powerful when taken internally as a crystal-infused water elixir, so make a super love-charged potion with it! Use the indirect method of elixir-making by placing the crystal atop a cover to the water's container and allowing it to infuse its energy into the liquid that way (instead of placing the crystal directly into the water). It increases happiness and emotional well-being while dispelling self-doubt. You can read more about how to make a crystal elixir here.

Increase your courage when out on a first date by wearing rhodochrosite. It will improve your self-confidence and make you radiate positive energy.

Green Aventurine

Affiliated with the heart chakra, which resonates with the color green, this crystal is considered one of the best good-luck stones around — so if you're looking to get lucky in love or need a quick boost of good vibes, this is going to be your jam. Green aventurine not only helps us to release toxic relationship patterns to make room for a supportive type of love, but it also boosts your good luck in love by helping to facilitate more cosmically-aligned opportunities — like being in the right place at the right time when it comes to meeting someone special.

How to use it: Honestly, whether you're in a relationship or not, who doesn't need some good-luck-energy with them at all times? Carry a green aventurine with you in your pocket or purse to help boost serendipity when it comes to love-related encounters. If you want to up its heart-healing vibes, find a heart-shaped stone, and hold it in your hand whenever you need some extra love.

This is also just an excellent stone for picking up some good energy when you’re down.

Turquoise

Connect with the physical world around you and enjoy all of its sensuous pleasures with this beautiful blue-green crystal in your pocket. If you tend to be too dreamy, you may find it hard to enjoy romantic encounters. Turquoise can help bring you back down to earth so that you can truly feel every experience. It will also attract positive energy, relieve exhaustion, cleanse you of emotional pain, and open your heart to new experiences.

Rhodonite

If you've recently had your heart broken and find yourself cursing every happy couple or heart-shaped-anything that crosses your path, consider using rhodonite. It's considered the ultimate heart-healing crystal and is perfect for soothing any emotional turmoil that results from a breakup.

How to use it: Time for a heart-healing meditation, y'all! "If you're in conflict with someone you love, ask the Rhodonite to guide you in surrounding the problem with unconditional love free of expectations and needs, leaving your heart open to pure affection," advised Energy Muse. "Hold a Rhodonite crystal stone in your hand and imagine floating in a giant pool of pink. You'll be amazed at how quickly toxic emotions melt away when you kill them with true kindness." Give yourself as long as you need to really get into the zone for this meditation and visualization, and you're bound to feel results.

Red Carnelian & Red Jasper

Red crystals such as Carnelian and Red Jasper lean towards the more passionate end of the love energy spectrum. Carnelian resonates strongly with the Sacral Chakra, meaning that it enhances joy, pleasure, and excitement in its user's life.

If your relationships are beginning to feel stagnant and are perhaps in need of rejuvenation, then Carnelian is thus a great stone to meditate with. This stone for warriors is also widely believed to lend courage to its user: if you are planning to confess your affections for another, then this stone can gift you with the bravery you need for this task.

Try pairing Carnelian with a blue stone likeLapis Lazuli or Blue Apatite (enhancers of communication and speech) to help you speak to your loved ones effectively and with courage.

Red Jasper is believed to give its user a powerful infusion of energy, for it is associated with the Root Chakra and signifies life and vitality. Consequently, a Red Jasper Heart is a wonderful symbol of the intensity of your love for another.

Moss Agate

The Heart Chakra is the basis of all loving energy, and stones that resonate with this chakra make great gifts for Valentine's Day. Green stones, alongside pink stones, are highly attuned to the Heart Chakra: consequently, Moss Agate is an excellent Heart Chakra stone. Use Moss Agate to help your relationships grow, prosper, and flourish.

Lepidolite

Lepidolite is widely believed by crystal healers to have intense mood stabilising properties, owing to its Lithium traces. Therefore this gorgeous stone can be brilliant to meditate with during the Valentine's period, to reduce conflicts and heated arguments with your loved ones.

If you are currently experiencing a rocky relationship, romantic or otherwise, then a Lepidolite Heart may be very useful in helping you to heal any rifts within it.

Blue Apatite and Lapis Lazuli

If you struggle to communicate effectively with your loved ones, or are trying to find the courage to reach out to someone important, then a blue stone may be very beneficial for you to use.

Blue stones such as Blue Apatite work best when used with the Throat Chakra, the center of communication in the body. When stimulated by a blue stone, this chakra can help you to express your needs and desires to your loved ones calmly and effectively, helping you to build stronger relationships. As one of the oldest semi-precious stones in the world to be used in jewelry, this blue crystal is a symbol of timeless love, just like the Ruby.

For centuries, this crystal has been used by many cultures and has been used to honor the goddess Venus or Aphrodite. It is intrinsically tied to love, lust, and fertility.

Rainbow Fluorite

If you find it difficult to have the confidence and intuition to make decisions in your relationships, Rainbow Fluorite is the perfect stone for you. Rainbow Fluorite is particularly powerful if you meditate with it on the Third Eye Chakra for this purpose.

It can be helpful to use this rainbow crystal to help you to decide how you want to express your affection for your loved ones, and to get in touch with your feelings.

Cherry Blossom Agate

Much like Moss Agate, this gorgeous Heart Chakra Stone is both symbolic of love and growth. Cherry Blossom Agate has a strong nurturing energy, meaning that this stone is a perfect way of showing your love and compassion for someone special. Also known as Flower Agate, the surface of this stunning stone is adorned by patterns resembling the flowers of the Cherry Blossom tree, making it an object of true beauty.

Amethyst

Amethyst enhances one's creativity, intuition, and ability to dream big, whilst Smoky Quartz offers a sense of grounding and stability. Therefore, Smoky Amethyst is a perfect emblem of a strong relationship: it demonstrates to your partner that you not only believe in their goals and dreams, but that you also will always be there for support whilst they work towards them.

Fossilized Wood

Fossil Wood is a very special stone, for it is both a crystal and a fossil, ranging in age from 40 million years old to 248 million years old! Gift a Fossil Wood Heart to a loved one to signify your unending, timeless love for them, as eternal as the age of the fossil itself. Furthermore, this stone (which is also known as Fossilised Wood or Petrified Wood) is believed to have many crystal healing properties.

Due to its connection to the Earth, Fossilised Wood has a grounding aura and can increase feelings of security and calm in its user. A Stone of Transformation, Fossilised Wood is thought to help you to grow and develop into your ideal self, much like Moss Agate and Cherry Blossom Agate: this is very useful, as after all, self-love and self-growth are just as important as your relationships with others (perhaps even more important).

Indigo Gabbro

Lovingly known in the crystal world as 'The Wise Soul', Indigo Gabbro can offer you a sense of wisdom and insight which will help you to better navigate your relationships.

Meditate with an Indigo Gabbro Heart (you may also hear this stone called Mystic Merlinite) on the Third Eye Chakra to help you access inner guidance and wisdom with regards to your relationships: discover what the right thing to do is to maintain them effectively.

King Cobra Jasper

Although Indigo Gabbro is oft cited as the best stone to use to access your inner wisdom, we feel that King Cobra Jasper has an important role to play in ensuring that you feel comfortable with what your insight is advising you to do.

Referred to by some crystal healers as the Counsellor's Stone, King Cobra Jasper can be used as a source of advice, comfort, and support when relationship troubles rear their head, and difficult decisions need to be made.

If you are finding it particularly hard to make important decisions about your relationships, then King Cobra Jasper may be of great use to you.

Fancy Jasper

Fancy Jasper, also known as Multicoloured Jasper or Rainbow Jasper, displays a gorgeous fusion of colour which is deeply symbolic of unity in partnerships and other relationships. The vibrancy of colour within Fancy Jasper symbolises a deep, passionate love held for another.

Garnet

Garnet is a crystal of passion, success, and manifestation. In situations where there seems to be no way out it brings courage and hope, so, if you are facing a tough time, garnet is your ally. It also helps you to let go of things that no longer serve you (the ex) and brings into your life that which is needed (a red-hot sex machine).

This stone takes emotions and how someone feels about you and intensifies them. This makes it an excellent stone for increasing someone’s love or lust for you. Wear garnet while in bed with a lover to increase your body’s senses. It will deepen one’s feelings for another person and improve relationships.

Ruby

One of the four kings of gemstones, ruby is the crystal associated with fire. The fire elementcan be used to heat up a relationship or melt an icy heart. This gemstone is most associated with the root chakra, sexual appetite, and male virility. When you need passion, rubies will raise the human body’s temperature and warm it up for a good time. Wearing rubies will attract new lovers to you effortlessly.

Pearl

If you are feeling lonely, pearl will help you with self-love and your inner strength. This stone also helps with beauty, fertility, love, transformation, motherhood, healing, and protection. Pink pearl is most associated with love and also brings with it peace and beauty.

Opal

Opal inspires innocent love, hope for the future, purity, and happiness. When left under a bed, it will ignite passion between two lovers. Opals also help those that struggle with body image. It reveals how beautiful your body truly is. White opal is a symbol of eternal love and can be used to find and seduce your soul mate.

Yellow Jasper

Are you struggling to be positive? Yellow jasper brings out your positive energy and dispels negativity, helping you to feel more powerful and happy. Carry yellow jasper with other love crystals to protect yourself from any negativity. It will ward off abusers, toxic people, and those that just want to use you.

Dioptase

For those that can’t accept the love of others because of their depression, trauma, grief, or self-hate, this crystal will soothe their heart and soul. One must work on themselves before they can be open to love.

Working on your emotional pain will reveal what you are really looking for in a romantic partner. That means you will be less likely to fall into a bad relationship.

Larimar

Another stone for healing from emotional trauma, larimar will radiate peace and love energy into your life. This crystal also reveals your inner wisdom, which is essential when you are trying to find love. It will help you to see red flags, so you don’t end up dating someone toxic.

This crystal will help you manifest anything you desire, including love. It will also help you to change your perspective and relieves stress.

Falling in love requires us to be playful, and this crystal will unleash our inner child.

Emerald

Literally called the Stone of Successful Love, emerald opens and nurtures the heart. Its soothing energy provides healing on all levels, bringing freshness and vitality to the spirit. A stone of inspiration and infinite patience, it embodies unity, compassion and unconditional love. Emerald promotes friendship and balance between partners, and is particularly known for amplifying domestic bliss, contentment, and loyalty.
