Love stones - 12 power stones for attracting love

How to use love crystals?

Depending on their uses, two large families of crystals are distinguished:

• Decorative and ornamental stones, used to decorate a jewelry set, a necklace, a brooch, earrings, a bracelet (social, religious, aesthetic attribute)


• Protective talismans and lucky or healing stones, worn more discreetly or placed in a given place (magic function)

Stones to attract love, if they can be considered in the form of a jewel, will probably have more effect when they are used in their form of magic talisman, in the intimacy of at home, for example with the help of a crystal grid or simply placed in your pocket. In the latter case, a rolled or polished stone will always be more suitable and more comfortable than a stone in its natural or cut state. Obviously, nothing prevents to attribute a double function to a stone, which can be both decorative and magic.

Before tackling in more detail which are the stones and crystals the most adapted to the different phases of love, let us recall some basic principles of lithotherapy, valid whatever the type of energetic cure or vibration technique you wish to apply; love, luck, fortune, health, chakra work, Feng Shui or Reiki cures:

• Never use a stone that you don't like (you will always have an alternative for the same use)
• Always favor crystals for which you have an instinctive affinity
• Before any use, find out about the type of crystal used to learn about its cleaning and energy recharging procedure
• Do not let anyone other than you handle a stone used for a magic purpose (protection, love, good luck)
• If someone other than you has come into physical contact with one of your talisman crystals, repeat the cleaning and recharging procedure before using it again

What stones shouldn't be together?

Whether in the context of chakra healing stones, protective and lucky Feng Shui stones or crystals to attract love, it it is customary to consider that certain stones should not be used together or in certain specific contexts. Thus, there are some natural stones which it is better to avoid putting near the bed or under the pillow because of their overflowing vibratory power, for example the celestial obsidian (or celestial eye). Similarly, amethyst geodes and clusters of clear quartz have a receptacle function for the energetic recharging of most magic and healing stones. Consequently, these crystals have the effect of increasing the power and the vibrational quality of the stones with which they are put together.

Depending on the desired effect, the use of the amplifying power of quartz and amethyst can be considered in order to tone up the energies of a neighboring stone. Powerful stones, such as malachite or black tourmaline, will rather tend to absorb and minimize the vibratory rate of adjacent crystals. In addition, it is also possible to appreciate the regulatory effects of a pale-hued stone associated with a brightly-colored stone.

It is better to replace or transmit stones and jewelry that cause a feeling of discomfort, even if they are gifts offered on the occasion of engagement, marriage, anniversary, birth or Valentine's Day. To avoid offending the person who wanted to show you his love or just to make you happy, you can always determine with the help of a jeweler or a goldsmith another arrangement that will better match your feelings.

The best stones for love and good luck

What is the best crystal to attract love? It depends of course on the stage of your romance. Some love stones are more suited to the search for love, to encourage a crush and make yourself irresistible to your suitor. Other crystals will have the power to promote desire, sexuality, marriage, fertility and marital happiness. Finally, other stones will have a more protective and curative role, to preserve serenity and the quality of dialogue within the couple, or even to repair emotional wounds.

Gemstones and crystals for love and marriage

• The diamond is the love stone of marital happiness, but also of renewal and courage. Natural diamond is the most resistant of crystals. Its hardness, combined with its rarity and its shimmering shine when cut, make it the love stone that best expresses the uniqueness and permanence of a happy couple. The gift of a gold engagement ring with a diamond is a fairly recent tradition that spread with the boom in diamond mining in South Africa from the mid-19th century. But it is especially from the beginning of the 20th century and the diamond advertising campaign of De Beers "The diamond is eternal" or "A diamond is a woman's best friend", that diamonds won their proof condition of ultimate love, never denied since. In lithotherapy, the diamond is a very powerful crystal applicable to several chakras (root, throat, heart, crown) and whose emotional virtues also make it possible to foresee possible infidelities (throat chakra). Diamonds also play a positive soothing role in channeling sexual impulses (root chakra). The diamond wedding anniversary celebrates the 60th wedding anniversary.

Its roundness, its soft opacity, its white, cream, light pink, beige, gray or black color give it specific energetic properties and emotional properties. In addition to being a pledge of fertility, the pearl is a stone that promotes self-love through its ability to reveal the truth. The pearl is also a balancing gem that promotes relational healing. Thus, the pearl embodies purity when it is white, softness when it is cream or beige, tenderness when it is pink, protection when it is black. The pearl wedding anniversary celebrates the 30th wedding anniversary.

Crystals for love and protection

• The tiger eye is the most effective love crystal for protection, not to mention lapis lazuli and amethyst, which have similar qualities. But while the role of protective stone of lapis lazuli and amethyst is intended mainly for the attention of already established couples, the tiger eye crystal has a much broader function, since it protects individually (when we carry it on ourselves) and collectively (when it is positioned at the door and windows of the house). The tiger eye is also a powerful stone of love and happiness because its reflective virtues against bad energies, which it returns like a mirror to those who projected them, strengthen self-love and the protection of the loved ones who are close to its benevolent aura.

The emerald wedding anniversary celebrates the 40th wedding anniversary.


• The moonstone is the love stone for couples, fertility and reconciliation. The moonstone has all the virtues of a Yin crystal, which makes it the ideal crystal of Chinese zodiac signs with Yin polarity whose aim is to strengthen their intrinsic energetic qualities (Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Goat, Rooster, Pig). Generous, spiritual and dreamy, the moonstone brings creativity and candor to lovers who wish to erase the deleterious effects of the weariness that sometimes wins couples over time. This is why the moonstone is an excellent relational healing stone, without forgetting of course its powers of stimulating fertility for women who want to have a child, and of flourishing maternal instinct for young mothers.

Stone of the gods of ancient Egypt, prized by the pharaohs, the deep blue color of lapis lazuli gives it a unique natural nobility and elegance.

On an emotional level, lapis lazuli stimulates intelligence, creativity and benevolent communication. Lapis lazuli is also a very effective therapeutic crystal of relational healing thanks to its stabilizing power of emotional storms, and of awakening to clairvoyance.


• The rhodochrosite is the stone of love for communication and compassionate hearts.

Rhodochrosite is one of the best love crystals to offer as a wedding day gift, because it helps strengthen the vows of fidelity and happiness of the newlyweds. In lithotherapy, rhodochrosite is a powerful crystal of spiritual therapy, which gives lovers the joy of sharing, compassion and dialogue.

Does amethyst attract love?

Amethyst, crystal of spirituality, wisdom and serene love

The amethyst, in addition to being a powerful balancing and stabilizing love stone, is first of all a spiritual crystal, whose deep meaning is associated with serenity, strength and humility. Its color varies from pale mauve to dark purple. The amethyst can be in the form of natural crystal, polished crystal or even in a cut sphere (orb). In jewelry, amethyst is usually used for rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets but also for rosary beads, amethyst being particularly appreciated by religious. Indeed, the amethyst is the stone of predilection for priests, bishops, pastors, rabbis and Buddhist monks. Thus, the amethyst crystal is often used for meditation and spiritual elevation because it stimulates the imagination, clairvoyance and serenity. Finally, its properties of wisdom and purification help people who have addiction problems (alcohol, tobacco, coffee, drugs) to support them in their detoxification process.

Amethyst, a rebalancing and stabilizing stone of love

In terms of feelings and romance, can amethyst attract love? Amethyst can actually be very effective in promoting love, because of the strong aura of quiet wisdom it provides to its holder. In the case of an emerging romantic relationship, the presence of the amethyst dissipates the tension and allows each partner to develop a more sincere and serene dialogue. For already established couples, an amethyst geode placed in the bedroom, near the bed, promotes quality sleep, in addition to its purifying effect on the ambient atmosphere. In the same way, the amethyst drives out the anxiety-provoking thoughts, fights angry impulses and makes it possible to attenuate the irrational passions as well as the obsessive thoughts. All these qualities make amethyst a protective stone of love by its action on mental rebalancing. In addition to attracting and promoting love, amethyst is before a crystal which protects the emotional stability of happy couples.

Love stones and crystals in history

Precious and semi-precious stones, far beyond their physical qualities or their value, have always been the subject of magic and healing rituals. As we will see below with the example of Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Indian and Chinese civilizations, the type of stone used in white magic for love spells was not necessarily the first selection criterion. The message (prayer or spell) and the figurative or symbolic representation of the deity supposed to intercede to foster the love of the owner of the talisman played an equally determining role. Similarly, the ancient rituals which accompanied the consecration of stones dedicated to love and fertility being lost today, the magic practice of a grid of crystals constitutes a popular alternative contemporary approach, not its alliance by magic white of sacred geometry and energetic natural stones.

Love crystals of Ancient Egypt

In the Egypt of the pharaohs, talismans and amulets played a very important role in all strata of society. Associated with a particular god, consecrated by priests, sometimes encrusted with a name, a prayer or a spell, the amulets and magic stones of ancient Egypt were often made of glass colored earthenware, emerald, tiger eye, amethyst, lapis lazuli, carnelian, chalcedony, malachite, turquoise, jasper or even with different gypsum and quartz crystals. Among the most emblematic and fashionable talismans of Egyptian antiquity, we can mention:

• Ankh amulet, the Egyptian "cross", which means health and longevity
• Udjat amulet, the eye of the god Horus, which means supreme protection and professional success
• Nefer amulet, which means luck thanks to the love and protection of loved ones
• Beetle amulet, which favors optimal health
• Frog amulet, which means life and resurrection, the protection of the living and the dead
• Hator's love amulet, the Egyptian goddess of love and fertility, protector of the dead

Love crystals of Greco-Roman Antiquity

During Greco-Roman antiquity, the stones of pendants and rings were almost always carved in the hollow of the mineral of an inscription, the figure of an illustrious character, a deity, an animal or a mythological scene. Often in colored glass, green agate or red carnelian, the gods and goddesses of ancient Greek and Roman amulets used to promote love are:

• Venus (Aphrodite): goddess of love, desire and fertility, beauty, victory and prosperity
• Cupid (Eros): god of love attraction, uncontrollable desire and affection, often depicted as a winged child because love is unstable and volatile
• Apollo: Greek and Roman god of sun and light, of arts and medicine, also renowned for his many romantic relationships with his fellow gods from Mount Olympus but also with humans, women or men

Love crystals of India

The most popular Hindu talisman dedicated to love in the Vedic tradition is the Shiva Lingam. It is an oblong stone, of which all size variants exist, from the small pendant stone for the amulets to the monolith for the large temples, and whose colors alternate between ocher, brown and white. Phallic in shape, this symbolic representation of Lord Shiva is certainly the most abstract expression of Hindu religious representations. In India, at the bend of an alley, you can come across small very simple temples within which there is a Shiva-Lingam, composed of a Lingam stone erected on a promontory in the shape of a cup and through which flows milk donated by women who aspire to love, fertility and a happy and prosperous marriage, as much for themselves and their husbands as for their children.

Besides Shiva, main figure of the great Hindu trinity with Brahma and Vishnu, other deities play a key role in attracting love and passion. This is particularly the case for Rati (रति), goddess of love, passion, carnal desire and sexual pleasure, but also of her male partner Kāmadeva (कामदेव), god of love, sensuality and desire. Like Cupid, the latter is shown armed with a bow and arrows. However, he does not have his own wings and flies assisted by a parrot or a cart secured to a couple of green parakeets. The amulets of Lord Kāmadeva to promote love attraction and fiery passion are composed of small pearls wrapped around a pale pink coffee bean shell (of the Triviidae family), symbolizing a female sexual organ.

Love crystals of China

The myth of love in the Chinese tradition, symbolically represented by a couple of magpies, is celebrated every year on Chinese Valentine's Day, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the Chinese calendar. Corresponding to the pillar of destiny of the Fire Horse (the Yang imaged destiny of "the Water of the Heavenly River"), Chinese folklore has celebrated for centuries the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver. The celestial queen mother, angry at the union of her daughter with a human, transformed them both into stars, Altair and Vega. Their astral configuration condemns them to a permanent distance, except once a year, when a couple of magpies, accomplices of their love, create a gateway of their own body to allow these lovers with such a tragic fate to catch a glimpse of each other for a short time.

The crystals and stones to promote love and romance in the Chinese tradition can be:

• Talisman with the Chinese character 喜鹊 (magpie), which is made up of 鹊 (happiness, joy), and by extension the pair of Chinese Valentine's magpie, which becomes 鹊 鹊 (double happiness)
• Talisman with Chinese / Japanese character 愛 (love)
• Frog amulet for fertility and fortune, in the form of a carved batrachian or the Chinese character 蛙 (frog), which has the same pronunciation in Mandarin as 娃 (baby)
• Jade stone amulet for protection, luck and success in love
• Amulet in rose quartz to promote attraction and romance
