Crystals for empaths
Crystals traditionally chosen for empaths and sensitive people.
Recommended crystals Black TourmalineAmethystHematite
If you're an empath, other people's moods can feel like your own: you leave a busy room drained, or carry someone else's worries home with you. Many sensitive people use crystals as a gentle boundary, a reminder of where they end and others begin.
Black Tourmaline is the crystal most traditionally chosen for empaths, associated with protection and keeping other people's energy at bay. Amethyst is linked with calm and spiritual protection, and Hematite with grounding, bringing you back to yourself. Labradorite, a favourite for empaths, isn't in the shop just now.
Many empaths carry Black Tourmaline into crowded places, wear Hematite on long days, and keep Amethyst by the bed for winding down. For protection more widely, see our crystals for protection, and for clearing a heavy atmosphere, our crystals for negative energy.
