1st Muladhara chakra (red) root

• Red stones are associated with it. Those are the ones who, through their symbolism, will help to stimulate and energize the deficient or declining vital energy. It is obvious that, except in special cases, we should avoid giving red stones to young children.
• Red Jasper, more earthbound, is excellent for energy in the lower body, particularly in the legs. Red Coral, of marine origin, is more indicated in cases of circulatory disorders, and Garnet more linked to sexual energy. Ruby, carrying a strong fiery energy, gives a boost of life, bringing enthusiasm and passion, and particularly stimulates sexual and cardiac functions; it is therefore excellent in cases of weakness and lethargy.

2nd sacred Swadhishthana chakra (orange)

• Orange stones, associated with this chakra, can help resolve any problem in this area.
• Fire Opal is ideal for awakening feelings and desire; it will therefore be useful for states of frigidity or low desire as well as for states of depression and lack of appetite for life. Carnelian, connected to the earth - it is a chalcedony - can be associated with it in the event of an assimilation disorder in the small intestine. Zincite, due to its high zinc content, is ideal in cases of low sexual activity. Fire Agate, less known, is nevertheless remarkable. It expresses sustained, framed desire, as in the parent-child relationship, it is suitable for people who do not dare express their desire and for those who are too dispersed by multiple desires. It is the Stone of the hearth, which protects intimate life. Orange moonstone and pearl of the same color bring a more feminine energy in desire and sexuality.

3rd Manipura chakra (yellow) solar plexus

• Yellow stones as a whole express this radiance of personality.
• Citrine, sun-colored - which is a heated amethyst - has a stimulating effect in cases of lack of self-confidence. It can help people who are too reserved, shy or withdrawn to assert themselves and position themselves. It is the type stone for building personality. Natural Citrine, paler, has a softer effect; it is better suited to strong, more dominant personalities and will be useful in case of digestive problems. For hypertensive or hyperactive people, Amber, very gentle, has a relaxing effect. It is very suitable for young children. Tiger's eye is suitable for fearful people, unconfident in their inner strength and in need of protection. Pyrite and Fluorite, both belonging to the cubic crystallization system, have a structuring effect: Pyrite - denser - acts more at the level of physical structure, material organization; Yellow Fluorite acts on the level of the intellect. Orange calcite, a stone of positive, warm, friendly energy, is useful in cases of isolation, lack of human warmth or depression. Honey Calcite softens tensions in the solar plexus and reduces heartburn. Blende, a stone corresponding to the spleen and pancreas, is useful for any problem related to sugar metabolism.
• Sunstone, Moonstone, Rutilated Quartz, Imperial Topaz, Yellow Jasper, Heliodor, are the other main stones of the 3rd chakra.

4th Anahata chakra (green) heart

• Pink stones and green stones, linked to this chakra, are complementary: pink stones evoke acceptance and self-love, green stones, expression, the outward radiance of love. There are many pink and green stones. The best known is Rose Quartz, the stone of maternal love and emotional security; it is associated with Aventurine in case of cardiovascular problems. Rhodochrosite, in correspondence with the thymus, symbolizes a more mature, more relational love. Kunzite and its twin sister Hiddenite express unconditional, freer love. They are very useful for people who are too passionate and possessive.
• Aphrodite is par excellence the stone of forgiveness, forgiveness of oneself, in case of guilt, or of others. Pink Tourmaline and Green Tourmaline, complementary, are stones for releasing energy blocked in the relationship with the mother and the father respectively. Watermelon Tourmaline, combining both pink in the center and green on the outside, perfectly symbolizes giving and receiving in love, whether in an intimate, therapeutic, humanitarian relationship.. The best-known green stones are Emerald, Jade, Apophylite, Chrysoprase, Prehnite, Malachite, Serpentine... Among them, Moldavite, due to its symbolism, is the typical stone for opening from the heart, of openness to life.

5th Vishuddha chakra (blue) throat

• The stones that are associated with this chakra are sky blue in color. Aquamarine, Blue Chalcedony, Turquoise, Celestine, Blue Calcite, Angelite, Chrysocolla.
• Blue Chalcedony was traditionally the stone of orators because it has the reputation of promoting elocution. It is also used for thyroid problems. Turquoise is the stone of the Native Americans. Linked to nature, it is a stone of balance "between heaven and earth", which is perhaps why it is attributed a protective role in particular against pollutants and travel. Chrysocolla radiates a soft and soothing energy which makes it a stone of harmony. Larimar is an extremely interesting stone, in particular for its effect on states of stress and anger, also for its liberating effect on speech when there is nothing said.

6th Ajna chakra (indigo) 3rd eye

• Two stones are particularly interesting here: Azurite whose penetrating energy leads the mind to the heart of intuitive understanding, and Tanzanite whose energy frees the mind from fixed patterns and judgment. The Labrador, gray with its blue highlights, has a role in protecting the mind, particularly against negative thoughts. More classic, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Sapphire, Cordierite or Sodalite also correspond to the 6th chakra.

7th Sahasrara chakra (purple) coronal

• The stones associated with it are purple in color. Amethyst is the best known, traditionally used as protection against drunkenness, it has a role of purifying energy when it is too coarse, too subject to primitive animal forces: instincts, impulses, desires, attachments ... This is why it is associated with spirituality.
• Sugilite, which combines purple and black, is a stone of alignment between the energetic nature of a person and their actions, one could also say between the soul and the personality. It is therefore a stone of incarnation which symbolizes action adjusted to who we are. Strombolite, a little-known pale purple stone crossed with white lines, translates our trajectory in the cosmos, our line of life. It is an invitation to take a step back, to have humor. It is the mineral energy that corresponds to the dolphin in the animal. Purple Fluorite and Charoite are the other best-known purple stones.

PRACTICAL

• To reharmonize your chakras take 7 colored stones and a rock crystal. It is best if the stones are of a similar energetic nature. They may belong to the same family.
• For example: Red jasper - Orange carnelian - Yellow citrine - Green aventurine - Blue chalcedony - Midnight blue sodalite - Violet amethyst + Rock crystal
• Line up the stones in front of you on a sheet of paper or cloth, arranging them in a line from bottom to top, from red to purple. The rock crystal is placed on top of the purple stone, point down. By placing yourself in front of the stones, visualize this alignment whose colors correspond to the chakras and allow the energy of the stones to penetrate through the subtle bodies.
