Beginning with the 1st Chakra, or Root Chakra, which is located at the base of the spine and is connected with the color red. This Root Chakra is connected with security, grounding, physical activity, and confidence, which are elevated with these crystals:
- Smoky Quartz: This crystal is a powerful grounding and balancing stone. It gently neutralizes negative vibrations and is detoxifying on all levels, prompting elimination of the digestive system and protecting against radiation and electromagnetic smog. The color of the natural smoky quartz crystal may vary, and it can be a light smoky gray, a brown gray color through to a dark black smoky quartz.
- Garnet: Garnet helps us feel grounded and connected to the present moment. It cleans and energizes all the chakras. Garnets come in a variety of colors and have many different varieties. However, the most widely-known color of garnet gemstones is dark red.
- Hematite: Hematite crystal properties are a gem when it comes to clearing and activating the root chakra, the energy center that anchors us to the earth and provides a feeling of stability. They are commonly found as a deep red color, which closely resembles the color of blood. Its color may also be grayish black, brown, orange red or have a silver metallic look.
- Red Jasper: Red Jasper stones are the mood stabilizers and grab hold of your root chakra and plant it firmly within the positive, nurturing and motivating energy of the Earth. A red jasper stone is known to dim those constant thoughts, and help you achieve sleep, live and love with greater ease.
