SIX CRYSTALS FOR ATTRACTING LOVE

With Valentine’s day approaching, it seems only fitting to do a blog post about crystals for attracting LOVE. Before I reveal my list of go – to crystal suggestions for this, you first might be wondering: how do you go about using crystals for something like this? There are several ways – the first way is to obviously carry the crystal on your person, preferably close to the skin and for long periods of time – particularly if you add the crystal to a mojo bag with several OTHER crystals, some dried rose petals, and a few drops of rose or jasmine oil; wearing them as jewelry is powerful, too. Another way to use crystals for attracting love is to set them in the love corner of your residence – this would be the corner farthest to the right from your front entrance, according to feng shui. Lastly, crystals for attracting love seem to work really well when placed beside the bed, particularly when you are looking for the sexual aspect. For maximum potency, you could combine these application methods, and don’t necessarily have to choose just one.

Another thing to mention is that when using a crystal for something like attracting love, it might be in your best interest to PROGRAM the crystal, even if this is not something you typically do. The ritual of programming and charging the crystal with love energy will cause you to focus on your intention of attracting love, thus helping you to manifest it. Some great ways to program crystals for love are setting them down on a plate on top of rose petals (or dried rose petals, which are sometimes easier to come by) and lighting a pink candle which has been anointed with rose oil; the stone can be passed over the flame of the candle, and something verbal should ideally be recited as well, such as “I am a magnet for attracting love,” or, “I open my heart to let new love into my love,” or something similar (whatever feels right.)

So, I recommend giving the crystals below a good program, and then using them in one of the ways I described above. So without further adue, here is my list of top six crystals for attracting love, romance, and/or soulmate relationships.

 1.)    ROSE QUARTZ. Those who already work a lot with crystals are probably rolling their eyes with boredom at this point; its pretty much crystal 101 that rose quartz = love. It’s also not quite as much fun to write about commonly known crystals either– I much prefer to spend time on the rarer and lesser known crystal beauties. That being said, any list of crystals for attracting love that doesn’t include rose quartz is simply inaccurate, as this is the best stone in the entire mineral kingdom for all things love and romance. Rose Quartz is VERY efficient at attracting love into your life, and should be placed in the relationship corner of your home, or by the bed, for optimum effect. When shopping for a rose quartz that you know you want to use to attract love, keep in mind that rose quartz hearts are hot on the market right now, and this might be a good form to work with. Even if you find yourself more interested in one of the crystals below for love work, I would still suggest pairing them with a rose quartz– these babies are SO common and inexpensive, and their energy is pretty much top - notch for attracting love, giving any other crystals you might use a little boost of love energy. 

2.)    EMERALD. Emerald is another stone very much associated with attracting successful love, and also helping you to maintain it once you’ve received it. It also enhances natural beauty, so can be worn or carried with you to events in which you hope to potentially meet your new lover. Sometimes, emerald is particularly recommended for older people who are seeking love. The emerald should be carried with you, somewhere close to the heart, ideally in a mojo bag with rose quartz, dried rose petals, and a few drops of rose essential oil.

3.)    GARNET. If you’ve read either of my last two blog posts, you know I’m on a total garnet kick lately. This is an EXCELLENT stone for attracting love into your life, and also encouraging a healthy and active sex life. Actually, this is one thing that ALL garnets share – from common almandine, to beautiful emerald green Tsavorite. The garnet should be placed in the love corner of your residence. It is not recommended to place this stone by the bed, as it stimulates fertility – so unless you're trying to have children, avoid this placement (stick to the love corner.) Spessartine garnet, the beautiful orange variety, is also great for attracting love and increasing your personal and sexual magnetism; if it is the spessartine variety you’re working with, carry it right on your person.

4.) CHRYSOPRASE. A fairly common form of chalcedony, Chrysoprase receives its watery green hue from the presence of nickel. Chrysoprase works on the emotional level to act as a powerful love attractor, opening the heart chakra to prepare you to excitedly receive new love. Sometimes when you feel like you're ready for love, but it's just not happening, this is because on some level, you're NOT ready. Chrysoprase works on blockages, bitterness, and discomforts related to past unsuccessful relationships that you might be holding onto in your heart center, preventing you from being truly READY. I would recommend meditating with a cleared Chrysoprase on your heart chakra (the center of the chest), and a second one on your solar plexus for an extra boost (when your will is combined with your heart's desires, amazing things can happen - this stone is a double threat, opening both.) This stone helps you to approach love with the excitement that it SHOULD be treated with, and also serves to benefit existing relationships, too (but that's for a future blog post.)

5.)    RHODOCROSITE. Rhodocrosite is a fairly common, beautiful pink manganese carbonate. Wearing Rhodocrosite as jewelry works wonderfully to attract love – especially a soulmate relationship. Of course, one should be advised that soulmate relationships don’t necessarily indicate “the one,” but can also refer to a person with whom you share a karmic bond, and who serves as a learning experience for you in this lifetime. But, if it’s an intense, meaningful soul – mate relationship you’re looking for, this is your stone. As I said, wearing Rhodocrosite jewelry – especially a necklace, so it’s close to the heart – is a great way to receive its love – attracting properties, but you could also place it in your love corner or use it in a mojo bag.

6.)    BLUE ARAGONITE. Blue Aragonite gets is gorgeous light blue color from the presence of copper, making it a very feminine, goddess-y stone. The copper content links this stone strongly to the goddess Venus, which is perhaps why it is so effective in attracting love. Blue aragonite attracts not just any love, but a twin flame relationship. Your twin flame, to decode this new age vocabulary word, is what most people coin your “soulmate.” In fact, while your twin flame is a soul mate, a soul mate is not necessarily your twin flame. Your twin flame, basically, is “the one.” So if you’re ready for an intense, lasting spiritual connection, Blue Aragonite is more the stone you will want to work with. Of course, expect such a request to take some time. Carry this stone with you and meditate with it, visualizing your reunion with your twin flame.

So, these are pretty much the top six of the crystal kingdom for attracting love. For maximum potency, I would recommend using a few of these stones at once – beef up your love corner with one of each, make a mojo bag and carry it with you, wear your rhodocrosite necklace everywhere you go…the more crystals you use and the more ways you use them, the more effective they will be – and the beauty is, most of these crystals are common and inexpensive (none of them are extraordinarily rare, but blue aragonite and rhodocrosite may be a tad more difficult to come by. ) So, stock up – good luck, and have fun!
