The Vibrational Boost of Crystals + Essential Oils
Crystals and essential oils each carry their own unique vibrational energy. When combined, they can amplify each other's effects, creating a powerful healing experience.
For example, Amethyst is known for its ability to enhance intuition, inspire creativity, and support meditation. Pairing Amethyst with an essential oil like Lavender or Frankincense can deepen your meditative state and bring about a sense of calm and clarity.
These combinations are just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless ways to pair crystals with essential oils to support your specific needs. If you’re curious to learn more and want to explore advanced techniques, our Crystals + Oils Blueprint Course offers an in-depth journey into this powerful practice.
Safety First—Understanding the Essentials
While the benefits of combining crystals and oils are undeniable, it's crucial to ensure you're doing it safely. Not all crystals are suitable for use with essential oils, especially when they’re in direct contact over extended periods.
Here are three key factors to consider when choosing crystals for your blends:
Is it Real?
Ensure your crystals are natural, unheated, and undyed. This guarantees that you’re receiving the full benefits of the crystal’s properties without any artificial enhancements that could compromise safety.Mohs Hardness:
Choose crystals with a Mohs hardness of 6 or higher. Crystals that are too soft will dissolve or break down over time when stored in liquids, which can affect both the integrity of the crystal and the safety of your blend.Chemical Composition:
Some crystals contain metals or minerals that can be harmful when exposed to essential oils or other liquids. For example, crystals containing Aluminum, Arsenic, Zinc, or Barium should be avoided.
To make this easier, I’ve compiled a downloadable list of popular but unsafe crystals that you should avoid using in your roller bottles. It’s a free resource that will help you blend with confidence. (P.s. if it turns out that you have unsafe crystal chips in your collection, I’ve got some great ideas for how you can still use them in other, SAFER ways!)
The Three Best Ways to Combine Crystals + Oils
Ready to start blending? Here are three tried-and-true methods for combining crystals with essential oils:
1. Roller Bottles
Creating your own crystal-infused roller bottles is a simple and effective way to enjoy the benefits of both crystals and oils throughout your day. Just be sure to use crystals that are safe for liquid storage, as mentioned above.
Pro Tip: Use fractionated coconut oil as your carrier oil. It has a longer shelf life and doesn’t solidify at room temperature, making it perfect for roller bottles.
2. Crystal Diffuser Jewelry
Wearing crystal diffuser jewelry allows you to carry the healing energies of your favorite crystals and oils with you wherever you go. Plus, it's a beautiful way to accessorize! One of my personal favorite pairings is Valor blend with a 7 Chakra Aromatherapy Bracelet for overall vitality, confidence, and energy balance.
Pro Tip: Carry a sample size bottle of oil with you in your purse, so you can reapply as needed throughout the day.
3. Tumbled Stones + Oils
This method is great for personal use or for creating a healing environment in your home. Place a calming display crystal, such as an Amethyst cluster next to your diffuser, or place tumbled stones in a bowl and store your essential oil bottles among the crystal vibes.
Pro Tip: You can also diffuse essential oils and hold a matching crystal in your palm while meditating. Check out our Insight Timer playlist for lots of powerful crystal meditations.
