The Best Crystals You Should Have In Your Bedroom

The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your home. It is where you start and end your day. It is a room of creativity, intimacy, and comfort. Crystals are a great way to enhance a variety of emotions, physical benefits, and metaphysical properties. Choosing the right crystals for your bedroom and placing them in strategic ways can help amplify specific emotions and properties, creating an optimal comfort haven.

Better Homes and Gardens says the best crystals for the bedroom are rose quartz, amethyst, and black tourmaline, which they say help increase romance, love, joy, healthy sleep, and help cleanse the space. Each crystal works in different ways and should be approached differently when placed in your bedroom, though. Rose quartz is more romantic than the calming amethyst, for example. Keep reading to learn the different physical, emotional, and metaphysical benefits of these crystals, as well as how to utilize them to their full efficiency.

Rose quartz is one of the most popular healing crystals due to its potent and versatile benefits. Rose quartz is a pink variety of quartz, found both polished and raw, and its rosy color is commonly associated with its romantic qualities. Rose quartz is an excellent crystal for those looking to boost romance and facilitate love, be it romantic or self. According to Healthline, rose quartz can also help foster healthy communication in solving relationship issues (platonic and romantic), promotes compassion, kindness, and mutual understanding, and enhances feelings of love, calm, and peace.

Since the bedroom is often a space of romantic intimacy, as well as a place you spend a lot of time with yourself, rose quartz is a wonderful addition. Better Homes and Gardens recommends placing four crystals in your room, one for each leg of the bed. Rose quartz can also be placed under your pillow or on your bedside table and can be used during meditation or healing rituals.

Amethyst crystals are also extremely popular, both for their beauty and benefits. Amethyst crystals are rarely found polished, almost exclusively sold in their raw form, due to how gorgeous the raw clusters are. The crystal ranges from light to dark purple, shiny shards situated on top of a gray-green to black rock. Size-wise, they can be found anywhere from a small, palm-sized chunk to large raw masses of the crystal.

Amethysts have been utilized throughout history for their various metaphysical benefits, which, according to My Crystals, include decreasing stress and anxiety, promoting calm and tranquil sensations, and aiding in sleep. This makes amethyst a great crystal for the bedroom. Simply place the crystal under your pillow or on your bedside table and reap the wonderful benefits. Alternatively, you can use crystals in nighttime meditations, which will not only help facilitate healthy sleep but may even help produce spiritually meaningful dreams.

Black tourmaline is also an excellent crystal for the bedroom due to its multiple healing properties. According to My Crystals, black tourmaline helps decrease stress and anxiety, curbs anxious obsessive thoughts, stabilizes your mood, and has a variety of cleansing physical benefits. More than this, black tourmaline is a great crystal for grounding, which can be helpful after busy and stressful days. It is also a strong protection crystal.

Better Homes and Gardens recommends placing a piece of black tourmaline in every corner of your room to help cleanse the space and activate its protective qualities. Be careful, though. While black tourmaline is a powerful crystal, it is somewhat fragile in its raw form and can flake off in dusty black chunks, which can be challenging to clean up. Some people prefer to purchase tourmaline dust and keep it in jars or vials. You can also put the crystal on plates. Alternatively, look for a tumbled piece of black tourmaline.
