4 Crystals for Protection

Black tourmaline protects against electromagnetic pollution, panic attacks, and surrounding negative energy. It cleanses negativity from the area and attracts harmony.

Smoky quartz is an excellent grounding gemstone that enhances practicality and organization. Smoky quartz also offers protection from negative energy in one’s environment. In Central Europe smoky quartz is considered to be stone that imparts a protective influence and crucifixes are often made from it. Soldiers would carry the stone into battle for protection. It was said to warn fighting soldiers of danger by turning darker.

Amethyst is used to lend courage to its handler. It is also a superb amulet for travelers, offering protection from thieves, harm, sickness, and danger. Amethyst has other useful protective qualities, such as protection against most black magic and psychic attacks.

Turquoise is also a stone of protection. One of the first uses of turquoise was as a horse amulet. It protects the wearer from falls, and it is believed that turquoise affixed to the bridle of the horse protects the horse as well. If you’re wearing turquoise and you look down and see a crack in your stone, the Native Americans would say “the stone took it,” meaning the stone took the blow that you would have received.
