The Best Crystals For Manifestation

March 11, 2022 Published by

Manifestation is the innate ability that each of us possesses to manifest the reality that we desire. It’s frequently misconstrued as a psychic phenomenon when, in fact, it’s far more straightforward.

When we manifest, the Universe responds to our focus and action. We all have the power to manifest. The ability is simply a reflection of our innate power and the intention we cast out into the world.  The Universe wants nothing more than to match our energy, and does so when we intentionally enhance our goals, desires, and intentions, and act to get what it is we want.

We all have tools we use to help strengthen our manifesting, and one of the most used tools (and probably one of the most powerful in your arsenal) is crystals. Crystals are often said to carry vibrations, and thats not just flowery speech either. Its actually a scientific fact! Crystals carry in them an electric charge known as piezoelectricity. Human bone is also capable of piezoelectricity. So when we feel our vibrations match our crystals and the universe as a whole, its because thats actually what is physically happening.

This is why we feel so in tune with our crystals when we work with them, and why theyre particularly good at helping with manifestation.

So, with that being said, lets take a look at the best crystals to use for manifesting your desires.

Clear Quartz

This seemingly insignificant stone is significantly more powerful than many would believe, perhaps one of the most powerful stones. The properties of Clear Quartz are clarification, reflection, and magnification. These characteristics make it an excellent manifestation tool. 

Using Clear Quartz in your manifestation rituals and spells will allow you to gain mental clarity, which, in turn, allows you to better focus your attention and intention on what you want. In addition, your willpower will be enhanced, which will send your vibrations throughout the universe.

When it comes to choosing crystals for manifestation, Clear Quartz needs to be at the top of your list. Clear Quartz enhances every stone you work with, so keep them cleansed and in your arsenal. 

Citrine

Warmth, well-being, and positivity are all sentiments evoked by the beautiful crystal, Citrine. Its warm, fiery glow represents the sun’s heat, giving warmth and life to all it comes into contact with. Citrine is also widely known as the “money stone” in various cultures and is said to bring its bearer prosperity and wealth.

Citrine is an incredibly potent stone for helping to manifest abundance in both financial and emotional matters. In fact, this vibrant crystal is so all-encompassing and powerful that you really should always have at least one on hand. If you’re looking for a powerful crystal to wear or carry on your person regularly, Citrine should be it.

Black Obsidian

Black Obsidian is a beautiful and dramatic stone with strong ties to the Earth. It is well-known for its grounding properties as well as its ability to remove any energy blocks you may be feeling. In order to manifest your desires, you must be firmly planted in your intention, rather than getting caught up in the thrill or stress you may feel achieving a goal. Black Obsidian helps to bring you back to Earth, allowing you to focus your intentions and take bold steps towards the future you seek to manifest.

As most witches know, we derive much of our strength – both inner and outer – from the Earth itself. This power and fortitude granted to us by nature and the Universe are critical in achieving our manifestation goals. When combined with other crystals used for manifestation, Black Obsidian can create an unbreakable foundation on which to manifest even the deepest of our desires.

Green Aventurine 

Green Aventurine is known as the “Stone of Opportunity,” thought to be the luckiest of all crystals, especially in manifesting prosperity and wealth, or for increasing favor in competitions. Its winning energy makes it a great ally for boosting ones chances in any situation. You only need to be near it to reap its benefits. 

This beautiful stone, however, is not merely an attractor of luck, but one that aligns conditions so “opportunity” is inevitable. Green Aventurine releases old patterns, habits, and disappointments so new growth can take place. This stone defuses negative situations and turns them around.

It brings optimism and a zest for life, allowing one to move forward with confidence and to embrace change. It enhances motivation and encourages perseverance in maneuvering lifes obstacles. It also reinforces ones decisiveness and amplifies leadership qualities.

Green Jade

Jade is part of the green color ray, the lushest and verdant shade of green, a color that reflects growth and vitality. It is also a stone that stands for wealth and longevity. And it’s not all about the money the Jade crystal healing properties instill prosperity in every aspect of your life, guiding you to lead a richer, more fulfilling existence. 

After all, money can only buy so much happiness, but with the help of your Jade, you can thrive and flourish in all areas of your life.

The meaning behind Jade is love and balance. Jade stones have been used in feng shui for many years to create feelings of harmony. Jade stimulates ideas and makes tasks seem less difficult so they can be acted on easily. Carry Jade as a lucky charm to attract wealth and popularity.

Amethyst

Amethyst offers you some oftentimes much-needed emotional support in the form of tranquility and confidence. This also includes defense against the negative effects of anxiety and stress, which is why it’s often used to help ease work-related stress, as well as for meditation. It also fosters a sense of calm, expanded consciousness, and balance.

Amethyst is excellent for boosting your intuition, awareness, spiritual communication, and perception, which allows us to manifest our goals quicker by pointing us in the right direction.

Use Amethyst when meditating to help you become more aware of your emotions, improve your mental clarity, and calm your mind. Place it in your home, car, or even in your office to help purify your surroundings of negative energies.

There are so many more crystals that can be used for manifestation, so keep in mind that this is just a quick jumping-off point to get you started in your manifestation journey and in your crystal collection (which will likely get way out of hand before you know it if youre anything like the rest of us). Happy manifesting!

Thailand and the Northern Cape province of South Africa are the largest commercial suppliers of Hawk’s Eye.

Magickal properties of Hawk’s Eye
Hawk’s Eye gemstone is a wonderful stone for activating your third-eye chakra or brow chakra. The idea of a third-eye chakra isn’t a new one – it has been known for thousands of years in many different cultures and civilizations around the world. The first usage of Hawk’s Eye dates back to Roman times, which called it Aquila Oculus, which translates as eagle eye. Even though its name might not be quite so romantic, the uses are no less magical than some other stones on today’s market. Hawk’s Eye is also used by feng shui practitioners to balance chi energy throughout your home or office space. 

Through wearing Hawk’s Eye a person can magnify the energies of wisdom, sincerity, honesty, passion, and emotional healing. It improves mental organization, intelligence, memory recall, and reduces brain fog– making it an excellent conduit for anyone struggling to get things done.

In meditations, Hawk’s Eye can be used as a manifestation crystal. Going into meditation with Hawk’s Eye will bring clarity of mind and insight, with an open mind for manifestations. You will come out of your meditation knowing exactly what needs to be done, and then it is on you to put the thoughts to action. You can wear it or hold it in your hand or on your third eye. Always set your intention as you go into the meditation and visualize your manifestation. For best results repeat at least once a day for a minimum of one month or until your vision manifests.

Here’s how to charge your Hawk’s Eye if you would like to tap into those powers: Place Hawk’s Eye in a bowl of water overnight on your altar or sacred space with two pieces of clear quartz crystal.
