They say that money doesn’t grow on trees. But, with the ever-growing popularity of crystals, it’s fun to imagine that we’re all just a stone’s throw away from manifesting money.
Crystals are believed to help with your emotional needs and many see them as powerful tools for specific purposes like setting personal boundaries. But, when it comes to finding the best crystals for money, wealth, and attracting a life of abundance, a shift in mindset is required.
Indeed, it’s important to note that crystals don’t have all the power—you do. “You don’t need a crystal to change your life,” Yulia Van Doren, founder of Goldirocks and author of CRYSTALS: The Modern Guide To Crystal Healing told Girlboss. “A crystal is a tool, which can help you change your life.”
Often, it’s the internal mental and emotional blocks in our life that prevent money and wealth from flowing into our lives. “If you have a block to abundance, if you have limiting beliefs, or whatever traumas you’re holding that hold you back, then money will be one of those things that stays away from you,” Leah Garza, resident crystal expert at Mostly Angels in Los Angeles. “If you’re struggling with bringing in that abundant energy, money is just a form of energy that will stay away.”
To find out more about what crystals new age experts believe can bring money and/or abundance into our lives, we asked each crystal pro for their top picks. Here’s what they had to say.
First, the crystals and stones our wellness wizards agree on …
Pyrite
Attributes: In nature, it grows in perfect, shiny, gold, squares.
Known for: Being a symbol of good luck. Commonly referred to as “fool’s gold.”
Why the pros recommend it:
Yulia: In crystal lore, it really is the abundance stone. This is a great one if you have a business. You can place it right on your cash register, or inside it. You can keep a small stone inside your wallet, or your purse, too. Keeping one in your desk or in your workspace is really great as well because then you’re seeing it as you’re working and creating. I call it the “get-it-done crystal.”
Colleen: This is known as the “high manifester.” Use it in conjunction with your stones for money.
Leah: Pyrite is a really beautiful crystal for bringing in money, for grounding, for opening up into prosperity in many ways, but especially in financial terms. Pyrite is also a heart opening stone. It’s widely used as a crystal of luck and fortune. I found it to be true for myself. Not like a, “Wow, amazing luck comes my way.” Instead it’s this energy and feeling of being able to create what I need to, when I need to.
Citrine
Attributes: A yellowish color, but they come in different shades.
Known for: It’s the stone for monetary abundance and personal power.
Why the pros recommend it:
Colleen: If you do want to talk about crystals to pull in the Benjamin’s, where that relates on the body is the third chakra, which is our solar plexus. It resonates with the color of yellow. First thing you can do is put an abundance crystal, or a monetary crystal (you want to interchange those words) when you’re meditating on your third chakra. That’s where the seed of how we treat money and think about money lives.
Yulia: Most of the citrine that people buy is actually amethyst clusters, which have been heated up to turn them orange. A lot of the magic of crystals is color-therapy, and so that bright orange sparkle of citrine is so different from say, amethyst.
Citrine is similar to pyrite in that they’re both for abundance and manifestation. Pyrite is a lead-based mineral, so it’s heavy and it’s like a bull. It helps you bust through blockages. Citrine’s more light, fizzy, and happy. It’s like, “find your happiness and wealth and abundance will follow.” It also really powers up your solar plexus chakra, which is the chakra relating to the way you show up in the world. And, it’s great for confidence.
Other great crystals for creating a life full of wealth and abundance
Green jade, green aventurine, and green moss agate
Attributes: Varying shades of green, ranging from translucent to opaque.
Known for: They’re known as money stones in different cultures.
Why I recommend it:
Colleen: We know that commonly, green jade gets made into jewelry. Sometimes people want to wear their stones and crystals. If you want to wear something, I’m going to recommend green jade over others.
Clear quartz
Attributes: Translucent in nature, though some parts may be denser and appear white.
Known for: For working with all chakras and encouraging clarity.
Why I recommend it:
Colleen: Clear quartz is the black, skinny jean of the crystal world. The reason is because it’s a neutral, and we know that black, skinny jeans go with everything. Look at your clear quartz as your black, skinny jean, and all of the other crystals as your tops. It’s not only a neutral, but it’s also an amplifier. You want to sit clear quartz in the same vicinity as all these money crystals, because you want to amplify the vibration.
Rose quartz
Attributes: A light pink, semi-translucent form of quartz.
Known for: It’s often used for compassion and for love.
Why I recommend it:
Leah: I always want to refer people to rose quartz, which is a crystal that helps us feel compassion and softens the walls of the heart. What I understand now, is that if you have walls around your heart, and most of us do because of traumas we’ve experienced, we want to protect ourselves. We end up blocking the bad stuff out, but we also block the good stuff out, too.
Bringing in abundance is, to me, about learning self-love, self-empowerment and self-trust. It’s about being able to take down those walls so that you can have everything good come in, too.
Selenite
Attributes: A whitish translucent crystal often found in stick sheets.
Known for: Being the energy clearing crystal; often used as “wands” to wave and clear energy.
Why I recommend it:
Yulia: I would say adding selenite to your bag of manifestation would be really great because it’s going to keep things moving. Think of it like a charcoal cleanser that helps you detox you and your home. It really allows that space for your true wealth to come flooding in. You can use it to clear energies off other crystals, off yourself, out of your home, off everything.
When thinking of wealth and abundance, think of it as a space to be in. When we acquire things, we’re looking for a certain feeling. I’m finding the more I make room and get rid of stuff, the more abundance and wealth I’m feeling and experiencing.
Emerald and ruby tumbled stones
Attributes: Emeralds have a distinct, green shade; ruby tumbled stones have a more opaque color than their crystal versions.
Known for: Emeralds are known for promoting unconditional love; Rubies are known for encouraging vitality.
Why I recommend it:
Yulia: I keep them in my wallet. There’s something pretty special about opening up your wallet and seeing a little emerald and ruby rattling around. It definitely makes you feel abundant. Again, that gets back to that whole thing of what you feel, you attract.
If you’re laying on the ground, a great thing you can do with emerald and ruby is place the emerald right on your heart-center and a ruby right under your spine. It creates a really beautiful show of grounding yourself and opening your heart into abundance.
Amazonite
Attributes: Bright blue/green stone, most commonly found as small tumbled stones.
Known for: Being a powerful heart chakra stone.
Why I recommend it:
Yulia: I think of Amazonite as a stone of truth-telling, flow, and inspiration. Amazonite is a stone which helps guide you to share from an inspired and lit up place. It helps to really clarify your message. The stone is often suggested for speakers, actors, and singers.
For instance, you can tuck a little piece into your clothing, into your bra, or into your pocket if have an important meeting. It really helps you channel that truth-telling flow. People will resonate with you if you’re tapped into your truth. Them, you will definitely feel more abundance in your life.
