9 Best Crystals For Empaths
Empaths are deeply sensitive individuals who are highly attuned to the emotions and energy of others.

Empaths are like sponges!
We tend to soak up all the negative vibes and emotions, which can be exhausting, as well as stressful. The worst part is that it can make us feel like we don’t want to go out of the house or connect with others.
Crystals can take the edge of some of this intensity and help us stay clear, grounded, and protected, so we can enjoy spending time with those we love!
Negative energy can attach to us in many ways, such as being in crowds of people, being with someone who is low in energy or unhappy, from arguments with loved ones, or from being in a low energetic area.
Crystals are a fantastic way to help with this, but it is also important to clear this negative energy from our energy fields and fill ourselves back up with positive energy!
Below is a list of 9 different crystals that can help with spiritual protection for anyone that is drawn to them, but I feel these crystals are especially beneficial for Empaths.
The best way to choose a crystal to help you is by understanding which crystal is tuned into the frequency of energy that will shield you from a specific kind of vibration.
For example: If you’re an Empath, there is no crystal that will make you immune to feeling the energy of others, but specific crystals can help shield you from an energy overload!
The best way to find out what works for you is to experiment with different crystals and see what happens.
My favourite crystal to work with is Black Obsidian and I have large and small pieces all over my home. I find this is the best one to help me with any form of negative energy and I also find it a powerful ally in my own spiritual & healing work.
The easiest way to use crystals for protection is to carry them. A small tumble stone will do well to start with and if you find it works well for you then you can invest in larger pieces for your home or as a piece of jewelry.
You should also make sure you cleanse your crystals regularly, especially if you wear or carry one as these will pick up more negativity more quickly.
You can also program your crystal to aid your spiritual protection even more.
Black Tourmaline
Raw Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is a powerful stone for protection against negative energy of all kinds, as well as being a strong spiritual grounding stone. It’s probably the best crystal for repelling lower energies and frequencies.
The reason Black Tourmaline is so effective is that it transmutes negative energy into positive. This acts like a force field around you, to keep other people's bad thoughts and feelings away.
By activating the connection between the Base Chakra and Mother Earth, it also protects you from negative attitudes, whilst cleansing stagnant energy in your environment.
It also encourages positive attitudes, good luck, and happiness, regardless of the circumstances that you find yourself in.
Black Onyx
Black Onyx Tumblestones
Black Onyx grounds and stabilizes the emotional body, bringing strength in difficult circumstances and during times of stress.
Black Onyx symbolizes purity.
According to ancient legend, the dark colour of the stone is due to absorbing a lot of negative energy.
It can help to reduce stress and give you a good night’s sleep and also repel negative air, improving intelligence and spiritual inspiration.
Wearing or carrying Black Onyx can help to release any sort of negativity from a person.
The stone is soothing and helps the wearer to deliver himself/herself from negative emotions, thoughts, and ultimately, situations.
This crystal helps people get over their previous relationships and let go of any negativity that has happened in the past.
It is also said to be excellent for entrepreneurs who are thinking of or are in the process of, starting a new business. It helps them to make quick and good decisions regarding their business, and it also wards off negative opinions, thoughts, and emotions from others around them
Black Onyx can also help to deflect inner and outer negativity and protects the wearer from the 'evil eye' or bad luck that is caused due to jealousy or negativity from others.
Black Obsidian
Black Obsidian Wands
Black Obsidian is a formidable healing stone for protection. It’s formed through volcanic eruptions and combines several raw and powerful elements such as fire, earth, and water.
An interesting feature of Obsidian is that it fractures like flint. The resulting sharp edges can be metaphysically used for cutting through lies, blockages, unresolved relationships, and destructive habits.
This stone is also favoured by Shamans and white witches to protect and return sorcery, ill fortune, and curses.
Additionally, Black Obsidian is great for Empaths. If you need to shield yourself from negative people in your life, are being bullied, or sense unwanted emotions from others, Black Obsidian will cut the ties from this draining energy.
Kyanite
Blue Kyanite Pendant
Blue Kyanite is the most widespread colour of Kyanite.
However, all colours of Kyanite have the ability to bring all of the Chakras back into alignment.
It has a strong energy for psychic protection, as it protects you from psychic attacks so it is an excellent stone to use for spiritual work.
Black Kyanite is especially protective as it surrounds the aura with a protective energy shield that eliminates adverse energies.
It is also a strong spiritual grounding crystal, and it is well known for its action to also ground any excess energy stimulated by the spiritual journey as well.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli Tumblestones
Lapis Lazuli is one of the most sought after stones in use since man's history began. Its deep, celestial blue remains the symbol of royalty and honour, gods and power, spirit and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth.
It is a stone of protection that may be worn to guard against psychic attacks. It is said to stimulate the higher levels of the mind encouraging clarity and objectivity. It is also believed to allow the release of stress bringing deep inner peace.
Lapis Lazuli can help you trust your intuition about other people. This is vital for Empaths, as you'll naturally attract people who need help. The crystal also teaches you how to respond to this information appropriately.
With its innate ability to protect, repair and strengthen your auric field, Lapis Lazuli can also provide a full auric maintenance program.
If you’re looking for a stone that can offer complete protection whilst allowing you to speak your spiritual truths, look no further than Lapis Lazuli.
Labradorite
Polished Labradorite
Labradorite's combination of iridescent colours gives you the confidence and ability to be who you are, without worry that others are going to feed off your energy.
Labradorite holds a strong vibration of protection against negativity & it can help you take steps forward on your path, especially if you have been feeling stuck!
Wearing or carrying Labradorite can help one's innate magical powers to surface and its energy can shield your aura against psychic attacks and ill-wishing, ensuring your aura stays intact and clear from unwanted influences.
If you need protection from negative energy and unwanted attention from other people, such as jealousy or obsessions, use Labradorite to deflect it from you.
Jet
Polished Jet Tumblestones
Jet is another excellent protection stone against negativity and psychic attacks. It is an especially helpful stone for Empaths as it can help protect against energy vampires.
Jet’s energy is also very protective to finances and business, which can help bring about stability.
Jet is fossilized wood, which is harder than coal and is said to protect against violence or illness.
It’s a choice for older souls who’ve reincarnated to Earth often and is believed to hold ancient memories.
Jet has a very calming energy and can help to heal grief. It brings grief to the surface in a gentle manner to be alleviated and healed with the protection of sympathy and comfort.
Make sure you cleanse Jet regularly as it does tend to absorb more negative energies than most crystals.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz Cluster
Smoky Quartz is known as a Stone of Power.
To the ancient Druids, it was sacred and signified the potent dark power of Earth Gods and Goddesses.
Smoky Quartz’s phenomenal power, then and now, lies in its ability to help protect and ground physically and spiritually to this world, and to absorb and transmute significant amounts of negative energy and release it into the Earth to be neutralized naturally.
Rather than merely surfacing negative energies and emotional blockages, this crystal gently dissolves these energies as it encounters them, allowing positive frequencies to take their place.
It relieves fear, stress, anger and unspoken resentment, lifts depression and fatigue and teaches one how to let go of what is no longer necessary for growth.
Smoky quartz transmutes unlimited negative energy and is a must-have for spiritual or psychic protection.
It can dissolve negative energy fields, caused by thoughts such as anger and resentment, before grounding them back to into the Earth
Smoky quartz is also a good choice to protect against radiation and electromagnetic smog.
Staurolite (Fairy Cross Stone)
Staurolite or Fairy Cross Stones
Staurolite stones are quite unique in that they naturally form a cross within the stone and are also known as Fairy Cross stones.
Staurolite is stone of magic that dramatically heightens your psychic abilities.
It can help you to see through the veils into other realms, connect with mystical beings, spirits, elementals and the dead, and protects you while doing astral travel and spirit journey work.
Its energy helps to protect you against unwanted spirits and attachments. It is said that you should always wear a piece of Staurolite when moving through the veils of time, space, and reality, as it helps protect you from unwanted or negative influences.
They are strong stones to aid spiritual grounding, which can create a stronger connection with beings in the natural world, such as the fairies and with the spirits of animals and plants.
Grounding can also help you release any negative energy you may have picked up.
They are known to be used as an amulet for good luck and are used by practitioners of white magic.
