Protection is a common theme when it comes to questions about selecting and using crystals.

Maintaining a balanced energy system, developing your intuition, and being open to guidance from other than ordinary sources can, and will, help you in any situation. Crystals can provide protective support by supporting your awareness, communication, and understanding. Working on your resilience will help you recover from negative experiences.

It is important to be clear on the type of protection that you seek and what will support you in feeling protected. I suggest these 10 crystals to create your personal web of protection.  

• Amethyst
• Angel Aura Quartz
• Aquamarine
• Black Tourmaline
• Blue Kyanite
• Dalmatian Stone
• Danburite
• Labradorite
• Rose Quartz
• Selenite

Corresponding Energy Centers

Each of theses crystals connects with one or more of the main energy centers in the body. This connection corresponds to the benefit that you get from each stone and the way you can expect to interact with them.

• Crown – Amethyst, Angel Aura, Danburite, Selenite
• Brow – Amethyst, Angel Aura, Dalmatian Stone, Labradorite
• Throat – Blue Kyanite, Labradorite
• Heart – Rose Quartz
• Sacral – Dalmatian Stone
• Base – Black Tourmaline, Dalmatian Stone

How Crystals Can Help You Feel Protected

Amethyst interacts with the energy centers at your crown and your brow. It calms your mind. Amethyst supports understanding by calming your mind and opening it to understanding external input. It can balance your senses of sight and scent and improve your communication including speaking and listening.

Angel Aura has a base crystal, usually clear quartz, amethyst, or rose quartz, that is treated with platinum, silver, or both in a process called Vapor Deposition. Platinum supports connection with your guides, higher power, and ancestors. Silver increases receptivity and encourages internal processing of information. (You can read more about aura quartz in general in my Aura Quartz blog post.)

Aquamarine cools the throat. It encourages calm communication, quelling the urge to use heated language in challenging conversations. It reduces the urge to be combative and increases the desire for collaboration or compromise.

Black Tourmaline allows you to recognize that you are safe from negative influences by removing the perception that they have power over you. It supports a sense of being grounded and supported in every situation.

Blue Kyanite supports balanced communication at your throat and aligns all your energy centers. When your energy is fully aligned, you can function at your best. Your mind, body, and spirit can take in information, process it, and make appropriate choices when you feel threatened.

Dalmatian Stone is Black Tourmaline in a base of Feldspar. Feldspar is an aluminum-based mineral. As such, it has a cooling effect on your body and quickens your thought processes. These benefits are combined with those of Black Tourmaline, increasing your awareness of what is around you.

Danburite calls in angelic energy. Your guardian angel is close and ready to call in reinforcements from the angelic realm. Their influence may include guidance so remember your action is required in response.

Labradorite holds hidden treasure in the form of the flash. This is a product of inner brilliance. Remember that you hold inner reserves of strength that are not always visible. Labradorite will help you tap into your personal reservoir when necessary.

Rose quartz opens you to self-love and compassion. This supports you in making choices to keep yourself safe and to communication them to others in a gentle way when possible.

Selenite in any form calls in the support of higher forces. It surrounds you, or your location, in a shield of light while inviting intuitive input from your guides.

Protect Yourself

As you build your crystal toolkit, remember that your crystal companions work with and respond to your energy. While each crystal corresponds to an energy center and has some basic characteristics that apply to anyone, your interaction with them is unique. Learn your particular companions, how they work with you, and how you best connect with them.
