Crystals: What’s Color Got To Do With It?.

You may have noticed that people tend to categorize crystal meanings according to color.

For example, it is said that green crystals help with issues related to love, black crystals provide protection, and purple crystals offer spiritual insight.

Ever wondered why that is?

When I first started using crystals, I found that strange. It seemed like a way for people to make a healing claim about crystals, and it seemed quite trivial to me because I didn’t get that there was an actual science to it.

The science is color therapy, and the way it works is that each color has a different frequency that can heal in a different way. Light and sound also have different frequencies that affect us in different ways, and color is simply light vibrating at a certain frequency. Crystals, colored lights, and colored cloths are all used as tools in color therapy.

What Each Color Represents

Following is a brief breakdown of what each color crystal represents so that you can easily use them to improve your life.

Black and Brown Crystals – protection, survival, stability

Red Crystals – survival, sexuality, action

Orange Crystals – creativity, abundance, passion

Yellow and Gold Crystals – happiness, empowerment, manifestation

Green Crystals – love, prosperity, harmony

Pink Crystals – love, compassion, peace

Blue Crystals – communication, authenticity, loyalty

Purple Crystals – intuition, spirituality, stress

White Crystals – purification, higher consciousness, balance

How Chakras Fit Into the Picture

Chakras are the body’s energy centers, and each one manages certain systems and functions in the body, mind, and spirit. We can use crystals to balance our chakras for health and well-being, and color is the way to do it!

Each color corresponds with a different chakra in the body. And why is that? Because each chakra resonates at a different frequency, which matches the frequency of a specific color. That’s why certain crystals help heal the issues related to certain chakras.

Here’s a handy guide extracted from CosmicCuts.com’s Chakras & Crystals Infographic that outlines each chakra and the colors and crystals that coincide with them. You can easily use this in the moment to determine what crystals will work for you when you need them the most.
