12 Best Crystals for Removing Negative Energy

There are so many crystals that can help remove negative energy, but here are 12 of our favorites…

Black Tourmaline

What a crystal! It’s been used for thousands of years by shamans to banish evil spirits and negative energy. Today, it’s primarily used as a defender.

Black Tourmaline will take the negative energy – the unhealthy stress, the pressure, the anger and frustration and inactivity – and direct it back to the sender. It’s like a protective force field from negative energy.

It even turns that negative energy positive, redirecting bad stress and turning into motivation, or anger and turning it into dedication or commitment to change.

Black Obsidian

The raw elements of fire, water, and earth combine together to form this volcanic stone and its abilities to ward off evil energy.

Black Obsidian allows us to cut through negativity metaphysically. It doesn’t avoid or shy away from negativity and negative energy; rather, it confronts it and works against it.

Lies, disruptive emotions, blockages, unresolved relationships, bad habits, and the like are sliced and gone with this crystal for removing negative energy.

Black Onyx

Black Onyx is an incredibly grounding stone. It works to connect the root chakra, the solar plexus, and the third eye with the earth. It roots us in the world and its experiences rather than being driven by anxiety and the imaginary things that distract us from what’s real.

This is another stone used in ages past to ward off evil spirits. With it, our inner demons take a much more personal shape as our doubts and anxieties plague us day by day. Use Black Onyx to ground you in reality and release that negativity.

Hematite

A common theme among crystals for removing negative energy is that they act as shields that block negative energy from entering in. Tourmaline and Obsidian act this way, and so does Hematite.

It’s best for issues around the root chakra, such as anxieties, irrational fears, and feelings of being unsafe. All of these animal worries that exist in the flight part of our fight or flight response crop up in our lives.

We can ward them off with Hematite’s ability to deflect negative energy like a layer of soothing, positive outer skin.

Smoky Quartz

Smoky Quartz is different from the other stones in a particular way.

Obsidian and Tourmaline tackle outside energy that’s affecting us as well as the lies that we tell ourselves. Onyx grounds us and Hematite shields us from the irrational desires of our past.

Smoky Quartz has a much narrower focus. It keeps its powers trained on the negative reactions we’ve been clinging to. It clears our mental fog and works to gets rid of the anger, fear, jealousy, and depression.

Amethyst

While it’s most commonly known for helping people fall asleep, Amethyst can also help get rid of a lot of your negative energy.

Meditating on this key crystal is what makes it one of the best crystals for removing negative energy. Use it before bed to reduce worries and things that frazzle you out of your mind as you’re trying to go to sleep.

It can also be helpful to place it under your pillow to ward off negative energy at night.

Tiger’s Eye

Tiger’s Eye is the eye of the world. It allows us to zoom in as well as zoom out on our lives.

We zoom in to focus, and we can fight negative energy by focusing in on our problems and solving them with optimism and positivity.

We zoom out to see the big picture so that we can see the silver lining in situations, allowing us to stay positive and optimistic.

Tiger’s Eye is great for feelings of depression or overwhelm as it helps us solve the small problems while also seeing what it’s all for.

Blue Kyanite

Blue Kyanite is first and foremost a healing crystal. It helps with healing the body and the emotions. Focusing on it, wearing it, or keeping it in a pocket helps channel the healing powers of this crystal.

However, as one of the crystals for removing negative energy, it works through the throat chakra and third eye chakra. It allows us to see our lives and the world more clearly.

If the negative energy keeping you down is through bullying or manipulating, this crystal will help you to be more confident and honest with others.
