Crystals are powerful healing tools, and you can use them to boost your natural spiritual healing power. Crystals can help with your physical, emotional, and spiritual health; they can help you with your finances and romantic relationship, they can amplify your healing power, help you and your children sleep better, and assist you in feeling happy and peaceful.

The crystals also work by assisting you in healing and helping you communicate with your guardian angels and archangels.

I have created a list with the most common crystals and their properties. I hope this list helps you to choose the crystals that can better help you. In most of the cases I recommend to wear the crystal. However there are some crystals that is a good idea to have them at your home and/or office, due to their great ability to clear spaces, protect or to attract what you need i.e. Amethyst is good to attract money and to absorb negative energy; Clear Quartz absorb negativity and transform it into positive energy; Rose Quartz attracts love.

Here you have the list with some of the most common crystals:

Amathyst

Amathyst is known as the stone of tranquility and strength. It is known to have the ability to change negative energy into positive energy. Amathyst calms and soothes the body, mind, and spirit on all levels. Due to its soothing qualities it is helpful for people trying to overcome addiction. It has been known to help with sleeplessness and protect against nightmares. It has the capability of enhancing and awakening spirituality, which is essential for spiritual healing. It is a fundamental crystal for meditation.

Amethyst helps with both the Crown and Third Eye Chakras. It helps the Third Eye Chakra by opening and enhancing spiritual awareness, eases stress in the Third Eye, increases intuitiveness, and aides in a deeper awareness. It stimulates the Crown Chakra and helps by aiding in meditation and psychic visions, relieves tension in the Crown, and helps recall of past lives.

It has the ability to clear blockages and align all the Chakras and balances the energy centers within all the Chakras.

Rose Quartz

This is a stone of warmth and love, as it heals emotional wounds and pain with its gentle calming energy. Opens the heart to the beauty within and all around us, and will begin its healing by reducing resentments. As Amethyst is to the Spirit, so Rose Quartz is to the Heart.

Opens our hearts and encourages us to be tender, peaceful and gentle. Emanates unconditional love and nurturance and helps us attract positive, gentle, non-judgemental love into our lives.

Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is an excellent stone for removing negativity and negative energy of any kind and transforming them to positive energy. It is also a very protective and grounding stone. It brings physical, psychic protection and protection from negative energy. It enhances survival instincts, and can help one reach personal and business goals, as well as assisting in making wishes come true. Smoky quartz is beneficial for groups, and engenders cooperation. In addition, smoky quartz is a stone that brings abundance, prosperity, and good luck.

Emotionally, smoky quartz is excellent for elevating moods, overcoming negative emotions, and relieving depression. Smoky quartz relieves stress, fear, jealousy, anger and other negative emotions by transforming them into positive energies. Smoky quartz is very comforting and calming, and can be considered a stone of serenity. It can, therefore, be very helpful in relieving grief.

In the psychic and spiritual realms, smoky quartz grounds one during meditation, and can provide a grounded link between the physical and higher selves, helping to uncover subconscious wisdom. Using smoky quartz during meditation enables you to reach higher states of consciousness.

Clear Quartz

Quartz crystals are metaphysical aids that help the user amplify the positive and transmute negativity. They can assist in meditation, healing and connection with both higher self and the universe. A crystal can bring balance, help one center and increase the flow of energy through the physical and subtle bodies.

Citrine

Citrine is known as the "success stone" because it promotes success, prosperity, and abundance. It particularly promotes success in business, earning it another nickname, "merchant's stone", and is said to bring business if put in the cashbox of a shop or carried. Citrine is a stone of good fortune, although it brings good fortune in sometimes unexpected ways. It is a stone of manifestation, helping manifest abundance in many ways. Along with prosperity and good fortune, citrine imparts generosity, to share the wealth.

Citrine dissipates negative energies of all kinds. It also does not absorb any negative energies from its surroundings, and thus never needs energetic clearing. Citrine can be used to clear unwanted energies from the environment. Family issues caused by negative energies can also be resolved and cleared with citrine. Since citrine eliminates negative energies, it helps generate stability in all areas, and is good for general protection.

In the psychic and spiritual realms, citrine is good for general psychic awareness and spiritual development. Citrine clears the aura of negative energies and influences. It is also very useful for meditation. Citrine is a stone of protection, removing or deflecting negative energies of all kinds.

Carnelian can also help to stimulate creativity. It seems to have a clearing effect, dispelling negative energies as it replaces them with positive ones. This can make it easier to find direction, and its grounding effects can make it easier for you to feel in control of your life.
