Crystals traditionally chosen for negative energy.

Some days, some places and some people just leave you feeling drained. Crystals for negative energy are the ones traditionally used to absorb and clear that heavy feeling, from your space and from yourself.
Black Tourmaline is the crystal most traditionally chosen for negative energy, associated with absorbing negativity and keeping it at bay. Black Obsidian is often used to help clear unwanted energy, and Smoky Quartz to release tension and lift a heavy atmosphere. Selenite is also recommended, though it isn't in the shop just now.
Many people keep Black Tourmaline by the front door or at their desk, carry Black Obsidian on difficult days, and clear a room with sage or incense before setting out their crystals. Our Energy cleansing kit pairs well with them. For protection more widely, see our crystals for protection, and if you pick up other people's moods easily, our crystals for empaths.
