Black Crystals + Their Properties
If you love crystals and stones like me, you might have gone through the phase of wanting all the black stones at the beginning of your spiritual journey because they signify protection. You probably figured it wouldn’t hurt to have them placed around the house or in your bag, pocket, bracelet or necklace because you can never be too spiritually protected in these streets, y’know?
However, in the pursuit of finding protective stones and working with them, we tend to lump them all together. We go on our hunt for these stones with the sole purpose of them banishing or transmuting negative energy, but they do a little more than what we think. Each one is unique in purpose, so I compiled a list of the most common black crystals and their properties. I’m sure there are more, but in my personal practice, this is what I’ve found them to be good for.
