Heart full and crystals clear, let’s talk about getting your rocks on.
Iva Naskova, an astrologer and relationship guide at Nebula, a platform that braids together astrological insights and practical guidance, is on hand with her recommendations for the power stones that energize, attract and stabilize love.
She maintains that while each crystal operates at a specific frequency, faith in that frequency is a prerequisite for feeling its power.
“What activates these crystals and helps you attract love or romantic energy is becoming one with the stone – believing in its magic,” said Naskoa.
In addition to keeping the faith, Naskova recommends allowing your intuition to guide your stone choices.
“You may feel strongly drawn to a particular crystal just by looking at it, which indicates that your energy aligns with that stone. This could mean it’s the ideal choice to help you achieve your love life goals.”
Better news yet? There’s no real way to muck it up, folks.
“There’s no right or wrong way to choose the crystal that aligns with your love life goals. While nearly all crystals are linked to love in some way, certain ones are more powerful for this purpose, so focus on the following list.”
Rose quartz
Fossil evidence suggests human beings have believed in the power of rose quartz for 9,000 odd years. Known coloquillay as the “love stone,” rose quartz is believed to balance emotions, rectify disappointment and cool anger.
“Rose quartz is a powerful healing crystal,” says crystal healer and reiki master Keith Birch, owner of KSC Crystals. “Its soft, gentle, almost pastel pale pink coloring is a good indication of its most commonly known property: that of pure love. It’s a stone of both giving and receiving love.”
Ruby
Rubies invoke the color of blood, the iron-rich life juice that carries oxygen throughout the body. This connection ties the stone to power and vitality.
Throughout antiquity, people believed wearing the stone on the left AKA the side of the hear, would allow the wearer to live a peaceful life free from peril and heartbreak. Naskova says rubies are also protective stones that can heal old wounds and prevent future injury.
Moonstone
Associated with the fresh flush of first love and new beginnings, Moonstone supports the Heart Chakra, Third Eye Chakra and Crown Chakra. In Eastern cultures, moonstone and other “lighted” gems are considered emblems of good fortune. The shifting surface, which gemologists call adularescence, suggests a benevolent energy held within.
To use moonstone to attract love hold the gem in your hands under the ever-loving light of the next full moon. Close your eyes and envision your dream lover or the proverbial one that got away coming toward you. For best results, carry the moonstone with you until the next full moon.
Zodiac power stones
In addition to the aforementioned love rocks, each zodiac sign has a crystal that vibrates with the power and potential of the sign.
Naskova tells The Post, “Each zodiac sign can benefit from using its assigned crystal. You can certainly wear any crystal of your choice, even if it isn’t designated as your zodiac stone, what matters most is your connection to the spiritual power of the crystal.”
