CRYSTAL CONFLICT
GEMSTONES TO KEEP APART!
Everyone always speaks about the benefits of crystals and the wonderful ways you can combine them to improve and even amplify their power, but have you ever wondered if crystals can also have the opposite effect?!
We’re here to tell you that yes, they can indeed!
But, no need to fear. Using incompatible crystals really only cancels out the positive effects that they could have on you, rather than attracting negativity and experiences you don’t want: wearing conflicting crystals together will not cause you any harm, they are just likely to lessen each other’s strength and power and mean you don’t get your desired impact!
With that in mind, let’s take a look at a few of the crystals that we recommend wearing separately to be sure you’re getting the greatest use of your precious crystal collection!
CLEAR QUARTZ & Citrine
We know just how important Clear Quartz is in the world of gemstones: not only is it known as the ‘Master Healer’, it is the best crystal to use with others to amplify the wonderful benefits and powers of your favourite gemstones! If you’re looking for a wonderful boost to your stones that help promote courage, confidence, happiness and more, Clear Quartz is the tool you need!
The crystal Citrine is an incredible gem for strengthening willpower and manifesting desires in the physical experience, but it is also very high in energy and boosts your motivation while giving you a bit of a buzz!
Although using the powerful crystal Clear Quartz with Citrine can really amplify drive and motivation, it can also amplify both nervousness and stress levels in people who are already anxious and nervous and simply cancels out the benefits that Citrine brings!
tiger's eye and SMOKEY QUARTZ
Tiger’s Eye is a truly incredible gemstone for promoting and boosting confidence and is used for its wonderful ability to help you feel strong and free within yourself and out in the world. It’s also perfect for energising and leaves you feeling lovely and revitalised!
Smokey Quartz is a stone frequently used by empaths (particularly those who may struggle with taking on too many emotions and energies from the people around them) as a tool for grounding and helping to shield against energy, whether negative or positive: it simply helps prevent energy overload of any kind!
Combining these two incredibly powerful stones causes a similar cancelling-out effect, as the Tiger’s Eye is always trying to capture and use external energy, while Smokey Quartz is working to repel the same energy, so consider wearing these pieces separately!
‘I have always loved combining gemstones together and my favourite combination has to be Pearl or Mother of Pearl combined with Aquamarine. These all have the most wonderful sea vibes and not only look great together, but they also compliment each other's qualities too!’
BLUE LACE AGATE AND CALCITE
Blue Lace Agate is a great gemstone for reducing levels of stress and anxiety, making it an incredibly popular crystal for necklaces and bracelets. Keeping a piece of this gorgeous gem by your side all day long helps enormously with grounding and reassurance, whether you generally experience high levels of anxiety day-to-day or just simply want a bit more of a boost!
Meanwhile, Calcite boosts imagination and gets those creative juices flowing, so when combined with the strength of Blue Lace Agate, a bit of a ‘tug of war’ takes place between sleep and rest, and ‘get up and go!’
Wearing these pieces interchangeably allows you to pick the right piece for the moment and the mood you are looking to set for your day!
AMAZONITE AND TIGER'S EYE
We simply adore Amazonite for its incredible calming influence and sleep-promoting properties, and definitely recommend this gorgeous little gemstone as one of the first in any crystal collection!
Combining this stone with Tiger’s Eye can unfortunately very quickly cancel out these relaxing benefits, due to the stone’s high energy, focus-promoting qualities.
These pieces can certainly be worn in the same day for different intentions: try holding or wearing your very favourite Tiger’s Eye piece first thing in the morning or before and important event, then try popping on your Amazonite necklace a couple of hours before you go to bed, or in any moments of chaos!
Although these combinations of crystals are generally not worn together for their benefits, it will not cause you any harm to wear them together, so there’s no need to worry! It is just worth bearing in mind that these pieces combined may not give you the desired intention, but if you are wearing your favourite gemstone pieces together because they are simply gorgeous, this is unlikely to be a problem for you!
Collecting and wearing crystals should always be a fun and empowering experience, so wear your very favourite pieces with pride!
