Powerful Crystal Pairings
Below are some excellent crystal combinations depending on their healing
properties.
Crystal combination for energy & creativity
Citrine and Carnelian crystals work well together to enhance vitality and
promote natural creative energies. Citrine bracelets, in particular, are great for
success. The crystal's energy inspires positivity and joy, lifting your spirits into the
clouds. Carnelian is a motivational gem that encourages you to trust in yourself to
make wise decisions. These crystals complement each other perfectly to leave
you energized and full of zest.
Crystal combinations for meditation
If you want a match to make you feel more still and quiet, something that can
increase the intensity of your meditations, then there are a few crystal
combinations that you can choose from.
Lapis Lazuli and Selenite are an excellent match to start with. Lapis
Lazuli helps you connect with your inner wisdom, unlocking the truth within. The
crystal pushes your intuition into overdrive which is excellent for receiving more
impactful realizations during meditation. Selenite‘s healing properties and
calming nature instills a deep peace within. The crystal's energy helps you find
the space between sounds so that even if your environment is loud, you can still
find your cool and be mindful. The crystal clears confusion and promotes mental
clarity.

Labradorite and Clear Quartz are popular crystal pairings that work toward the
same effect. Be careful, however, when mixing two crystals that are too similar.
For example, both Lapis Lazuli and Labradorite are identical in their properties.
Both offer inner truth paths, open up the third eye chakra, and expand the mind
and enhance intuition. When crystals are too alike, they can often be
overwhelming. In some cases, they can repel each other—and rebel—by
canceling each other's energy out.
Combining crystals for nightmares
Smoky Quartz or Amethyst make a good nightmare-preventer when
complemented by Black Tourmaline. The latter stone offers the bulk of the
protection, keeping negative energy away, while the lighter energy of the Quartz
stones helps relax the mind and stops overthinking before bed. Bad dreams are
usually a sign of stress, so it's good to have a soother accompanied by a
protection stone.

Best crystal combination for protection

If you want a protective charm, then there are plenty of defensive crystals that
work well together. We recommend a triple threat to negative energy: Black
Obsidian, Tiger's Eye, and Hematite. You can find all three of these powerhouses
in the Triple Protection Bracelet.
What is black obsidian good for? It has been referred to as the ‘soul cleanser' for
its purification properties. The crystal destroys negative energy and protects you.
Hematite grounds you, soothes stress and transforms negative vibrations into
positive energy.
And what does Tiger's Eye do? Tiger's Eye encourages you to release inhibitions
that hold you back from enjoying life. It's said to protect against psychic attacks
too. You couldn't be energetically safer than with these three crystals.
Best crystals for love
The most powerful crystal pairings to enhance loving vibrations tend to be those
that stimulate the heart chakra. Rose Quartz and Malachite are crystals that work
well together because the pink stone is soft and light, where the green is strong
and relentless. Where Rose Quartz gently soothes, Malachite pounds and pushes.
Nevertheless, both stones attract love for the self and from those around you. The
big differences in their approach are not as important as their unified cause.

How To Find Crystals That Work Well Together
To come up with good crystal combinations, consider your intentions, chakras,
zodiac sign, elements, and life path number.
Let's explore these options further.
Choose crystal combinations for a specific intention
Intentions are crucial when finding gemstones that complement each other. To
create powerful crystal pairings, you need to find a shared intention between the
two. There's no point in combining a light stone like Green Aventurine with a
strong stone like Black Obsidian because they have no common goal.
Before you combine crystals for healing benefits, it's wise to focus on just one
crystal and your specific intention with it. Once you know what you want to
achieve, you can select your healing crystals.

For example, here are crystal combinations for specific intentions:


 Selenite and Black Tourmaline to repel negative energy. The
combination's mighty power will heal your emotional scars and bring you
more peace.
 Aventurine and Citrine for grounding. Choose Aventurine
bracelets with Citrine stone to create a deep connection with nature for
mental clarity and stability when you're feeling unbalanced. Clear Quartz
and Hematite are also excellent healing stones for a foggy mind.
 Smoky Quartz and Blue Lace Agate for relieving stress and
anxiety. When you're feeling anxious, work with these gemstones in
a crystal healing meditation to calm down your intense emotions.
 Rose Quartz and Amethyst for aligning the crown chakra and heart
chakra. The Amethyst-Rose Quartz pair is an excellent combination for
raising your self-confidence, self-love, and spiritual energy.
 Rhodochrosite and Carnelian for opening up to romantic love and
unleashing your true self. You can create crystal grids with these
healing crystals in your house to soften your heart. You can also pair Green
Aventurine with Rose Quartz or Green Tourmaline with Pink Tourmaline for
love.
 Black Tourmaline and Smoky Quartz (or Smokey Quartz) for
repelling bad dreams and fear. These stones play nicely as crystal grids
in your bedroom to bring positive energy as you sleep. You can also add
Blue Lace Agate for a restful sleep.
 Malachite and Black Tourmaline for relieving pain. These healing
crystals' soothing energy is excellent for headaches. You can switch Black
Tourmaline with Smoky (or Smokey) Quartz for foot pain.
 Clear Quartz and Lapis Lazuli to enhance your meditation.
 Various Moonstone colors to balance hormones. The Moonstone's
feminine energy will connect you to the divine to give you inner strength
while bringing back your balance.
Consider the chakras
If your intention is strengthened by one of the chakras, pick a stone that benefits
the said chakra. Here are a few examples for each of the seven chakras:
 Root: Red Jasper, Black Tourmaline, Black Obsidian
 Sacral: Carnelian, Sunstone, Calcite
 Solar Plexus: Tiger's Eye, Pyrite, Citrine
 Heart: Malachite, Rose Quartz, Green Aventurine
 Throat: Turquoise, Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli
 Brow: Amethyst, Purple Fluorite, Sodalite
 Crown: Selenite, Clear Quartz
Consider your zodiac sign
Similar to the chakras, if you have an intention in mind that could be enhanced by
pairing crystals of the same zodiac, go for it! They can be extremely beneficial to
people born under certain star signs. If you're looking for ideas, here are a few
crystals for each astrological sign.
 Aries: Clear Quartz, Citrine, Black Onyx
 Taurus: Malachite, Jade, Pyrite
 Gemini: Chalcedony, Labradorite, Aquamarine
 Cancer: Moonstone, Carnelian, Emerald
 Leo: Tiger's Eye, Hematite, Golden Topaz
 Virgo: Jasper, Moss Agate, Sapphire
 Libra: Black Tourmaline, Lapis Lazuli, Opal
 Scorpio: Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Ruby
 Sagittarius: Turquoise, Amethyst, Pink Tourmaline
 Capricorn: Garnet, Jet, Fluorite
 Aquarius: Amber, Angelite, Blue Obsidian
 Pisces: Blue Lace Agate, Bloodstone, Aquamarine
Consider your life path number
To find your life path number, add all the single digits of your birth date, then add
the resulting digits.
For example, if you were born on 11/04/1965, you would do the following sum:
1+1+4+1+9+6+5 = 27. 2+7 = 9. Keep adding the digits until you get to a
single-digit number—unless you get either 11 or 22, which are power numbers.
All crystals vibrate on a frequency that resonates with one of these numbers. If
that happens to be your life path number, then you can bet you'll feel the benefits
of this pairing more than any other duo. Numerologically matching stones could
form a powerful combination that you never expected.
For the example above, Rose Quartz bracelets with Picture Jasper and Malachite
would be great options.
Here are crystals for your possible life path numbers.

1. Garnet, Verdite, Turquoise


2. Howlite, Rutilated Quartz, Fire Agate
3. Amazonite, Yellow Jasper, Sunstone
4. Moonstone, Rhodochrosite, Tiger's Eye
5. Aquamarine, Dalmatian Jasper, Moss Agate
6. Carnelian, Labradorite, Red Jasper
7. Amethyst, Peridot, Blue Chalcedony
8. Citrine, Kunzite, Yellow Apatite
9. Rose Quartz, Picture Jasper, Malachite
10.Garnet, Sunstone
11.Tourmaline, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Lace Agate
Combine crystal families

To make it as simple as possible, fall back into focusing on the crystals’ family.
Quartz crystals (Clear, Rutilated, Rose, Amethyst, etc.) tend to work well together.
Likewise, Agate crystals make powerful crystal pairings. You can also create
crystal combinations from members of the Jasper and Tourmaline families. It's
generally safe to mix and match, too, but watch out for the odd exception.
Pair gemstones with their elements
Finally, you can break crystals down into four main elements. Choosing two
gemstones from the same category will create powerful crystal pairings, but
perhaps they may be a little overwhelming. It completely depends on your
intention. If you want something with less intensity, you can mix and match but
avoid opposites. A fire and water stone will rarely work together in harmony as
their energies often negate one another.
Here are the crystals that work well together within their elements:
 Air: Fluorite, Selenite, Labradorite, Amethyst
 Fire: Sunstone, Carnelian, Fire Agate, Red Jasper, Citrine
 Earth: Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, Pyrite, Hematite
 Water: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Selenite, Chalcedony, Celestite
When combining gemstones, always remember that you don't want too much of
one thing while avoiding two stones with nothing in common. Maintaining a
healthy crystal balance is the key. For example, choose Amethyst
bracelets that are combined with Aquamarine stone to awaken your intuition and
achieve deep healing.

Amplify Crystal Healing With Crystal Combinations


Certain stones work well together when combined with complementing stones.
For example, Lapis Lazuli and Turquoise are excellent for healing the throat
chakra. But pairing specific crystals with nothing in common like Black Obsidian
and Green Aventurine will add no benefit to your healing practice.
Keep in mind that combining high-energy vibration crystals could be
overwhelming. Obsidian, Rose Quartz, and Carnelian are some high-energy
crystals. You could mix-match such crystals based on their elements. For
example, you could combine Black Tourmaline (earth) with Selenite (water) to
remove negative energy from your aura.
When combining gemstones, consider your intention for the crystals, then choose
specific stones that serve the purpose. You can also use your zodiac sign, life
path number, and chakras to determine your crystal pairs.
Hopefully, you found the guide useful, and it sent your mind down previously
unexplored paths. Good luck with combining crystals for healing in the future!
