Crystals are beautiful, unique, and loved by many. They’re used in jewelry, sculptures, architecture, decorations, and more. In the past, priests would use crystals for manifesting wishes and predicting the future. There was also a time when some religions saw crystals as symbols of witchcraft and evil. But lately, crystals have been gaining popularity once again.
Why Use Crystals for Manifesting?
Crystals and rocks give off their own unique vibrations. Some need to be recharged by natural elements, while others constantly emit energy without needing a boost. They can channel energy into the body and also absorb it. Crystals draw power from nature—like the sun, moon, earth, and water—and these natural vibrations can help bring balance, harmony, and health to those they come in contact with.
Crystals have been used for manifestation for thousands of years. Their natural energies are great for focusing intentions, building faith, and inspiring creativity. While there’s no strong scientific proof of their benefits (yet), too many people have found crystals helpful for there to be no truth to their power.
How to Pick Your Crystal
Before I went shopping for my first crystals, I did a lot of research. I wanted the perfect crystal for every problem, and I was really focused on the procedures and all the “recipes” for using them. But when I got to the crystal store and asked the clerks which ones I should buy, they told me to simply hold the crystals I felt drawn to and choose the ones that “vibed” with me. When I asked how to use them, they said to just go with whatever felt right.
I’m really grateful that the clerks were spiritual enough to guide me to trust my intuition. That’s what crystals are all about—tuning into those subtle energies and using them for our benefit. So, my advice is to learn a bit about crystals, but mostly follow your heart. Let yourself feel which stones your soul needs right now. Feel first, think later.
How to Use Crystals
I’ll give you more options than the ladies at the crystal store, but I’ll still say that the best way to use crystals for manifesting is whatever feels right to you. The more personal your practice or ritual, the more effective the results, in my opinion.
Personally, I mostly use my crystals during meditation. I either hold one or two in my hands, or if I’m lying down, I’ll place them on or around different parts of my body. I’ve also used them in jewelry like necklaces, earrings, and rings. You can even take a bath with crystals in the water with you or carry one in your pocket or a pouch around your neck.
Many crystals need to be re-energized from time to time. I usually set mine in the window during a full moon, but you can also put them in the sun. You can infuse crystals with your intention by holding them while focusing on your desire. After use, you can cleanse crystals to remove any negative energy by smudging them with sage or setting them in salt. There are so many ways to use crystals!
Crystals I Use for My Daily Intentions
I don’t have a huge collection of crystals. I’ve found a few that work for me in different areas, and so far, I haven’t felt the need to add more. (Although I really want to! Collecting crystals is fun and a bit addictive!)
Right now, I have amethyst, rose quartz, citrine, tiger’s eye, aquamarine, kyanite, selenite, scolecite, and black obsidian. I’ve given away a few, and I still haven’t replaced my clear quartz, which is another great one to have. But for now, these crystals cover all my basic needs and desires.
Crystals to Manifest Happiness and Peace
When I first started working with the Law of Attraction and trying to intentionally shape my life, I was going through a tough time. My emotions were all over the place, and I was just looking for some peace—and maybe a bit of happiness.
The crystals that helped me the most during that time were kyanite and selenite. These crystals don’t need to be charged since they give off their own vibrations. They can even cleanse other stones! They helped balance my emotions, calm me down, and ground me, which was so helpful during meditation. I wore the kyanite as a necklace, meditated with both, and even took naps with them. Clear quartz is also great for meditation, especially when it’s infused with grounded energy (I leave it outside overnight) to help calm any internal chaos.
Crystals to Manifest Self-Love and Friendships
I’ve definitely put a lot of effort into practicing self-love. After all, everything comes from within—happiness, success, friendships, and all our interactions. When we truly love ourselves, it leads to better relationships and a more fulfilling life overall.
I mainly use rose quartz and amethyst to help me promote love, both for myself and others. Rose quartz is all about unconditional love, compassion, and peace, while amethyst encourages spirituality, trust, and understanding. I’ve even taken a bath with rose quartz, and it had such a powerful effect. These crystals have made a huge difference in my journey toward self-love.
Crystals to Manifest Health
Health is one of the most important parts of our lives. We all deal with physical issues, from serious illnesses to everyday annoyances. I’ve had some frustrating health problems that doctors haven’t been able to figure out, and I’m still working through them. Health problems often don’t have just one cause, so there’s no one simple solution. But crystals can help!
Aquamarine is known for promoting youthful skin and even has anti-aging properties. It can also help reduce stress, which I believe is at the root of many health problems. Amethyst and rose quartz are also great for this. Amethyst has been used to help with stomach issues, while rose quartz is thought to improve circulation.

Crystals to Manifest Wealth/Business/Goals/Motivation
One common goal for manifestation is prosperity. Many of us feel the stress of not having enough money to do or buy the things we want or need. Since everything starts from within, a great place to begin is by changing the vibrations we put out into the world. Crystals can help raise those vibrations and get us into a better state to create success.
For attracting wealth and boosting confidence, I use tiger’s eye and citrine. Tiger’s eye helps build courage, attract “luck,” and nurture prosperity. Citrine also promotes prosperity, while bringing in joy and energy.
Clear quartz is perfect for setting goals. You can infuse this crystal with anything you want by holding it and imagining or feeling your desires. Then, you can carry it with you, wear it, or meditate with it before tackling your tasks.
For business, pyrite, also known as “fool’s gold,” can boost your influence and wealth-building power. Carnelian, a smoky orange stone known as “the artist’s stone,” helps spark creativity, ambition, and motivation, while also helping to remove fears and doubts.
Have fun with your Toolbox!
Crystals are a fantastic tool to boost your manifestation process. Change often happens gradually (though not always!), and it’s those small, consistent shifts in vibration that help bring us closer to our dreams. Using crystals to manifest is fun and full of possibilities.
I hope all your dreams come true!
