10 Powerful Crystals for Creativity & Inspiration

Creativity refers both to a flow of inspiration from beyond the Self, and the physical actions that manifest those dreams in the real world. These gemstones help you access one or the other of these levels, helping you clear the way for inspiration, focus on what you want to create, and follow through on creating it. A great all-around stone for creativity is Citrine. If you are looking to boost your creative confidence, try Sunstone. If you find yourself creatively blocked (i.e. writer's block), try Golden Obsidian.
