The Best Crystals & Gems for Emotional Healing
Emotional wounds are created from unmet emotional needs, neglect, abuse, trauma, and unprocessed loss. Emotional healing can be complex.

Apache Tears
Apache Tears are helpful for surfacing grief held in the emotional body in order to cleanse and heal old trauma or wounds from a previous life. They also have the protective and cleansing properties of obsidian, in an easy to carry form.

Blue calcite helps you explore your unconscious, helping unblock creative inspiration, dissolve limiting beliefs, and producing vivid dreams. It also boots psychic ability and soothes emotional overload.
Blue Chalcedony
Blue chalcedony helps soothe fears & anxieties below the level of your conscious awareness, helping you stay in the present and deal with life in a calm and centered way.

Chrysoprase reminds and reassure you of your heart connection to others and to the Earth. It is one of the best stones for healing a broken heart and preparing your heart for a new relationship. It also helps when facing threatening situations, strengthening your ability to stay centered in your heart and act from compassion rather than fear or anger.
Dendritic Agate
Dendritic agate helps you integrate the disowned and shadow aspects of your personality to create healing and transformation.

Lepidolite helps with stress and worry when life feels turbulent and overwhelming. It can help you stay focused on the present, relieving worry about the future and letting go of stuck patterns from the past.
Mahogany Obsidian
Mahogany Obsidian is useful for clearing self-imposed blocks that lurk in your subconscious due to past harmful experiences. If you feel you are not expressing your full potential due to abuse or trauma in your own life, past lives, or your family lineage, wearing Mahogany Obsidian can help you release these limitations & move forward with renewed purpose.
Morganite
Morganite is a heart chakra stone and carries the energy of Divine love and compassion. It is an excellent stone to heal emotional trauma and grief and see the larger meaning and purpose of it in your life. If you are ready to transform pain, trauma, or loss into wisdom and compassion, this is your stone.
Petrified Wood
Petrified wood is an ancient fossil of a tree. It is calming, soothing, and nurturing and can help heal problems arising from family history or past lives.
Pink Calcite
Pink Calcite helps to activate and enhance the heart’s way of knowing–the wordless awareness that we mean when we say, “I knew it in my heart”. It improves empathy and helps release suppressed emotions.
Pink Sapphire
Pink sapphire is a stone of love, forgiveness, acceptance, understanding, and vulnerability. It is ideal to help heal from heartbreak and open to new possibilities for connection and love.
Pink Tourmaline
Pink tourmaline helps heal emotional wounds, alleviate emotional stress, and promote kindness, peace, and love.
Rainbow Obsidian
Rainbow Obsidian helps one take the journey to the root cause of emotional distress in order to resolve it. It acts by being a bridge to bring Light into wounded and dark places, allowing them to heal. Like black obsidian, it also clears and purifies the aura.
Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite is a powerful stone for emotional healing. It helps you gently revisit painful childhood memories, heal the past, and reclaim the parts of yourself that you may have suppressed or disowned for emotional survival. It is also a stone of joy and nurturing, helping you access the freedom and magic of a child when they feel safe and loved.
Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is the classic stone of love. It helps dissolve old hurts and open the heart to trust in love and have faith in the benevolence of the Universe. It has a melting effect on mistrust and suspicion, and reawakens the heart chakra to abundance of love available to it. It is a great stone to place in your home or workplace to increase the vibration of harmony and love in the environment.
Turquoise
Like most blue gemstones, turquoise activates the throat chakra, helping us speak our wisdom and truth. The gift of turquoise is in bringing an awareness that every part of us is an element of our Divine self, to be understood and embraced. The heart of compassion is knowing that darkness and pain is a universal human experience, and only by integrating these aspects of existence can we become whole. Turquoise encourages to accept ourselves, warts and all.
Unakite
Unakite supports the physical body by purging toxicity from old emotional wounds and attachments, anger and resentment, and bad habits like overeating. It gradually supports a healthy alignment of physical, mental, and spiritual bodies, helping the body become a support for higher experiences.
