Crystals for Love

    Filter

      Love is a broader category than the romantic one, and this collection reflects that. Some of these stones are for finding a partner. More of them are for repairing your relationship with yourself, or with someone you've hurt, or with someone you've lost.

      You'll find rose quartz throughout, plus rhodonite for emotional healing, garnet for passion and commitment, green aventurine for opening the heart, and pink and lithium-bearing stones for comfort. Prices run from about $1 to $112.

      How to choose: ask what kind of love you actually mean. Rose quartz for self-compassion and gentleness. Rhodonite when there's something to forgive — including yourself. Garnet for commitment and heat. Green aventurine when your heart has been shut for a while and you'd like it not to be.

      On the romantic version: we've never once seen a stone produce a partner. What we have seen, repeatedly, is people carry rose quartz for a few months and become noticeably kinder to themselves, and become easier to love as a result. Take that for what it's worth.
