Transformation can mean many things to many people. In this line of work, we commonly talk about spiritual transformations, but a transformation can also be as simple as changing some habits that aren’t serving you, or finding a way to release negativity.
Regardless, actually achieving transformation is rarely easy because we humans often fear change.
If you’re here, that may be where you are at the moment. Hoping for transformation, and having ideas about where to start, but perhaps there are blockages in your way that are preventing you from embracing the new beginnings that you crave.
Tapping into the power of crystals for transformation can be key to eliminating those blockages by using their energies to aid your growth.
Read on to discover the best crystals for transformation and what qualities they hold that lend them well to periods of change.
Top Tip: Call on spirit animals like the butterfly for support with your transformation.
What Is The Best Crystal For Transformation?
There are several crystals that are supportive for periods of transformation – I’ve included some of the best below.
However, we are all different and we resonate with different crystals, so I’d recommend working with the one that calls to you the most.
1. Labradorite
This protective crystal is key to shielding us from negative energies during the phases of transformation.
What can stunt change for an individual is often the negative energies that surround that person. So, protecting yourself from any undesirable energy is a great place to start if you want to embrace change.
The energy of this impressive crystal can also help you to find the power within to tackle any difficulties you face during your transformation and to calm your mind when those issues arise, reminding you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel – that light for you is the knowledge that a new life waits ahead.
2. Amethyst
This incredible crystal has the benefits of both soothing us and giving us strength. As calmness and strength are both essential during changes in our lives, these properties make this crystal a key one to use during transformative chapters.
Amethyst will allow your confidence in yourself and your path ahead to grow and be unwavering due to its ability to link us to the spirit world when assurance and guidance are required.
This is a particularly good crystal if the transformation you’re seeking is related to spirit work.
3. Galena
Galena, a grounding crystal, would be considered as essential during life changes.
If you have the intention to walk a new path in life, you must be able to stay spiritually grounded during that time.
This stone holds a mirror up to us, making us aware of the parts that we love about ourselves, but also the parts of us that we find difficult.
It will allow us to do shadow work, which lends itself well to periods of transformation.
For real change to occur, we need to be honest with ourselves about who we are, who we have been, and who we want to be – there is no better stone to use during that discovery than Galena.
4. Magnesite
Being able to visualise your goals is essential when going through transformative periods. Magnesite can assist with ensuring that your vision for your future is clear, as well as enhancing meditation and manifestation techniques.
Such properties will allow you to stay focused on what you want to achieve, and ensure that your desires gravitate toward you.
When you are seeking life changes, whether big or small, call on the powers of Magnesite to assist you in your spiritual work and you will be surprised at what this mighty crystal is capable of.
5. Carnelian
An essential part of change is motivation. With all the will and positive energies in the world, without motivation, those changes are not going to happen.
Motivation can be a huge factor in blocking potential transformation. That is where Carnelian comes in.
You have your vision, you desire change, and you know what you need to do but you’re struggling to motivate yourself to do anything that is going to trigger your new beginning.
Simply wearing a piece of Carnelian jewellery will result in increased energy levels, improved physical health, and improved motivation.
Once you have your drive to set those wheels of change in motion, it will surprise you how quickly things begin manifesting for you.
6. Citrine
As exciting as transformation can be, it can also be worrying. The change from the status quo can increase anxieties and leave us fearful of whether the direction we are heading in is the right one.
Citrine is a supportive crystal for transformation as it can help to alleviate those fears and, similar to Carnelian, increase our drive.
Sometimes when we are feeling less motivated, part of that can be fear-based. Once we begin to release any fears and put trust in the Universe, our drive to do better for ourselves will naturally follow.
Make sure you introduce Citrine into your spiritual work if you’re feeling anxious about the new beginnings that lie ahead, and you will find the positive energies of this beautiful crystal begin to eradicate those fears and increase your motivation.
7. Selenite
Using this powerful crystal through spells of change will allow you to realise what your soul’s purpose is, clear any confusion about how to fulfill that purpose, and make sure you are left feeling certain about the path that you are on.
It will allow you to feel that your life goals are unquestionable. You will be left excited about the new direction that you are heading in.
Make sure that you tap into the energies of Selenite when you are visualising your desired destination to ensure your mind is kept clear of any doubts.
8. Hematite
Maintaining balance is essential when we are transforming. Due to the changes that we go through during those periods, balance can be very difficult to achieve and it can be tricky not to jump from one extreme to another.
Due to this, the transformation that we desire can easily be knocked off course if we cannot maintain equilibrium within our physical, mental, and spiritual selves.
Hematite can help to ensure you remain connected to Mother Earth, keeping you grounded and balanced.
Using this stone during meditative work can help to stabilise all aspects of your being, clearing unproductive ideas from your mind and making way for more fruitful thoughts to pave the way for positive change.
9. Malachite
Malachite is probably one of the most well-known crystals for transformation.
If you’re after the courage to pursue positive change and enough self-belief to take risks, then look no further than this crystal.
With its earthy green hues, this stone encourages deep-rooted change and growth – it radiates the energies of rebirth.
You can also be assured that this stone will protect you through the transformation that lies ahead for you and will allow you to have the faith and courage to weather any storm, as it is linked to the heart chakra.
If you’re certain about what amendments are necessary, then make use of Malachite through your spiritual work and watch how your self-faith increases resulting in you being a magnet for positive change.
Final Thoughts
Achieving transformation in life is truly magical, but it’s not an easy path.
We often have to let go of people and situations that no longer serve us, so that we can move forward – and that can be painful.
We can also sometimes get in our own way and need a little help to overcome our own blockages.
The list of crystals for transformation above will help propel you forward if this is a phase of your life you are currently in.
I started Spirit of Sapphire in August 2017 after finally building up the courage to start reading tarot for people other than my loved ones.
At the same time, I embarked upon expanding my spiritual knowledge and skills and so attended various psychic mediumship courses and circles, and I also began to train as a Reiki practitioner.
I’ve designed this site to be a hub of spiritual knowledge. As I learn new things, I want to share them with you.
