Crystals for grounding
Crystals traditionally chosen for grounding.
Recommended crystals HematiteSmoky QuartzBlack Tourmaline
Grounding is about feeling steady, present and connected, especially when life feels busy or scattered. The crystals traditionally chosen for it are the dark, weighty ones that feel solid in your hand.
Hematite is traditionally associated with grounding and stability, and Smoky Quartz with letting go of tension. Black Tourmaline is traditionally associated with protection, grounding and creating a sense of stability, a popular crystal for the home, workspace or carrying with you.
Many people hold a grounding stone with their feet flat on the floor for a minute or two, or keep one at their desk for busy days. Grounding and protection often go hand in hand, so you may also like our crystals for protection.
