THE BEST CRYSTALS FOR YOUR HOME: A ROOM-BY-ROOM GUIDE
“Home base” may be a term that comes from baseball, but it’s so fitting! Nothing’s more important than your home base: where you go to recharge, to renew, to rest, be at peace, create meals and spend quality time with your family and — of course — with yourself.
Our homes are hands-down one of the most important spaces in our lives. Our homes are deeply personal spaces. They can act as mirrors: they reflect our personality and our interests. Because of this, it shouldn’t be surprising that they reflect our energy as well. When there’s tension between people in the home, the home energy feels tense. When you’re sad or grieving, the home holds the space of that darkness. And when your mind is cluttered with chaotic thoughts, disarray will often manifest within the home as well.
That’s why it’s so important to not only cleanse the energy of the home regularly, but also fill it back up with love and light. The more you transform the home into a space of radiant positivity, the more you will inspire your spirit to vibrate at the same level. Crystals for the home help you to set the tone for your space and spirit.
So whether you’re feeling creatively, romantically or financially blocked, there is a stone that can help you to tap into the energy you need for a breakthrough. Want a little more romance in the bedroom? There’s a stone for that. Need to calm anxious thoughts? There is most definitely a stone for that. Explore the endless possibilities of these healing tools with this quick guide to crystals for the home! We’re taking you room-by-room to help you remove the guesswork from choosing crystals for the home.
An Insider Guide to Crystals for the Home

Aventurine, Black Tourmaline, Carnelian, Malachite, Phantom Quartz, Pyrite, Tiger’s Eye, Shungite
***
Your office is a place where you can concentrate and be productive. It’s best to keep this space uncluttered and organized, so you can work without distraction. These crystals will keep the energy of your office in tune with financial abundance, business savvy, and mental focus.
AVENTURINE - Place it on your desk for luck, prosperity, and a competitive edge.
BLACK TOURMALINE - Place it on your desk near your computer, phone, and any other electronic devices to help protect you from electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Black Tourmaline will also energetically shield you from office tension.
CARNELIAN - Keep it somewhere you can easily hold when you need creative inspiration and new ideas. Carnelian will also bring you confidence in your decisions.
MALACHITE - Place it over your business deals that are heading in the wrong direction, bills you’ve been stressing over, and business transactions that you need clarity on. Malachite helps to transform finances and encourages you to approach challenging situations with new ideas and creative solutions.
PHANTOM QUARTZ - Place it on top of your desk to assist you in bringing stressful work situations to the surface. Once you address them head on, this crystal helps you break through to a solution.
PYRITE - Place it over your business card, proposal, or pending contract. Pyrite clears the way for wealth and acts as a money magnet. Bring in the energy of a Pyrite Crystal to promote a wealth of ideas, opportunities and confidence in the office. Set the Pyrite on top of your business card to manifest abundance. The courage, motivation and overall sense of abundance you feel when connected with Pyrite’s energy will drive you to take those necessary risks or capitalize on opportunities for growth.
TIGER’S EYE - Place it on your desk to help you stay focused. Tiger’s Eye maximizes your productivity, gives you the courage to take calculated risks, and motivates you to work hard.
SHUNGITE - An important stone for the work desk or home office, Shungite is one of the natural antioxidants found in the stone’s fullerenes. Unlike any other stone on Earth, this stone, found only in Russia, can absorb and neutralize the electromagnetic radiation (EMF) put out by electronic devices. If your desk is covered with a computer, tablet, phone or other electronic devices, this stone can be useful in combating that energy. It also connects with the root chakra, which will benefit your work by keeping you grounded and helping you to harness courage and resourcefulness.
Crystals for the Bedroom: Rest, Recharge, and Revamp the Romance
Your bedroom is your sanctuary. It should be tranquil, calm, and peaceful. When it comes to crystals in the bedroom, less is more. Crystals are amplifiers, so for some people, the buzz of energy that they carry can prevent restful sleep. If you are sensitive to energy or have a hard time sleeping, try removing all crystals and adding them back one at a time. See how it feels after a few days. Did you sleep better? Did the room feel more tranquil? It’s important to find a balance of crystal energy that works for you, so add and subtract crystals as needed before you decide on your bedroom crystal configu- ration.
Besides a peaceful and relaxing energy, these crystals also infuse your bed- room with love and romance to enhance your love life.
AMETHYST - Place it on your nightstand or dresser to fill your bedroom with relaxing and calming energy. Surrendering to sleep and rest is easy when you’re relaxed from the energy your Amethyst emits.
ROSE QUARTZ - Looking for crystals to help you sleep and promote relaxation? What better crystal to have in the bedroom than one that invokes feelings of peace and unconditional love? Rose Quartz to the rescue! This stone connects with the heart chakra to open the soul up to vulnerabilities, and promote love in relationships. It is the quintessential stone for rediscovering self-love, as it brings you to realize that you deserve the same compassion and understanding that you give to others. Those with families can benefit from rose quartz especially. With a soft energy, rose quartz soothes the remaining tensions from the day, and keeps you from going to sleep angry as it influences empathy, forgiveness, and lowered stress.
Place 2 pieces in the far-right corner from the front door of the bedroom. Two pieces are symbolic of two people in a relationship. You can also place a piece of Rose Quartz at the leg of each of the four corners of your bed to encompass the bed with the energy of love.
SELENITE - Because having an energetically clean room is a total must over at Energy Muse HQ, having a natural energy cleanser like Selenite under the bed or pillow is a must-have for restful sleep and sweet dreams. This crystal of “liquid light” maintains an energetically light and charged environment. If you want to create an ambience full of cleansed, uplifting vibes, use a Selenite Lamp. The soft luminescence that Selenite Lamps put out will offer the perfect mood lighting for when you just want to rest and recharge your spirit with a good book in bed.
Place it under the bed, on the nightstand, or on the windowsill to clear, purify, and raise the vibrational energy of the room.

Crystals for the Meditation Space: Infuse Your Practices with Energy
Your meditation space is the spot in your home that you come to when it’s time to get quiet. Keep this space full of all your favorite calming, enlightening, and mind-expanding stones to help you get the most out of your meditation.

RHODONITE - Place it on an altar or in an area within your meditation space where you can see it often. Rhodonite is a helpful tool to soften your heart and encourage forgiveness.
A Crystal for the Front Door: Let Good Vibrations In
You may have an alarm system, but that’s not going to help when bad energy is trying to enter your space. Always have a piece of Black Tourmaline by the front door. Black Tourmaline is a highly cleansing, but also protective stone. It helps to purify you of any energy you don’t want to bring home with you after a long day, and casts an energy shield over your home to keep others from sending their negative energy your way. Crystal expert, Heather Askinosie, recommends placing a piece of Black Tourmaline in a bowl of equal parts salt and water. She has each member of her family make their own bowl, and set their own intention for protection with each piece of black tourmaline. That way, everyday when they come home, they can each connect with their Black Tourmaline stone to connect with the energy of their cleansed intention.
If you’re worried about someone stealing your crystal outside the front door, you can also hide the Black Tourmaline in the soil of a potted plant. Not only will this protect your protection stone, the soil will also keep your crystal charged!
Crystals for the Garden: Harvest Some Peace and High Vibrations
This combination of crystals for the garden works as well for green thumbed savants as for their less cultivation-capable friends. If you tend to stick to cactuses for fear of killing yet another potted plant, boost your confidence and the energy of your garden with these crystals for the home, and give gardening another try. Green Aventurine guides earthly energy up into the roots to pulse vitality throughout your plants. Bury it into the soil of your garden or potted plant with clear quartz for energy amplification. Clear Quartz can also aid you in programming your garden with the intentions you want to set. Set those intentions with a quick meditation in the garden. Focus on what you want for your plants, and how you want to treat them. If watering is something you always forget, set an intention to be more mindful and attentive to your garden, and then bury the quartz into the earth.
