The Best Crystals for Cleansing Energy

Crystals are a powerful tool that can be used for grounding, centering, drawing love, improving focus, fighting anxiety, and more. These stones can also help you cleanse your space and yourself of negative energy or energetic roadblocks that are getting in the way of success and happiness. Consider these eight powerful crystals for your next cleansing ritual or simply keep them around for a regular flow of good vibes.

White Quartz

Also known as milky quartz, white quartz draws down star energy.

Use It: In your bedroom on a nightstand or dresser to help you recharge.

Obsidian

Paleo-Indian civilizations used this stone for protection, so why not bring its supercharged energies into the modern age? Like many dark crystals, black obsidian is great at absorbing nasty negative vibes. Its stabilizing force pulls together scattered energy.^[1]

Use It: In your workspace or stash it in your pocket at your next meeting to help you focus.

Fluorite
