The Best Crystals for Your Classroom
Many people believe in the healing power of crystals. One common thought is that crystals interact with the body’s energy fields. This is known as vibrational energy. The idea is that crystals help the body to redirect or channel energy throughout the body. When that energy gets stuck, the use of crystals can help to get those energies unstuck.
Many people feel that crystals help them to feel more focused, relaxed, and healthy. They also have many benefits in lessening anxiety and stress. While there is little science to back up these claims, one researcher in the article “Healing Crystals, What they Can and Can’t Do” from Healthline states, “A combination of placebo, which is powerful in itself, and the previously mentioned energetic properties of certain crystals certainly seem to have a real impact on the body.”
So, what are our favorite crystals to bring into our classrooms and our homes? Check out the list below to see which ones we love and why.
Amethyst - This crystal is the best of the best. If you are new to crystals, the amethyst should be one of your first purchases. Amethyst is said to improve immune function and digestive health, improve your skin, and help to relieve stress and anxiety in your life.
Black Tourmaline - Another favorite of ours, Black Tourmaline is said to offer protection. It helps with grounding, enhances motivation, and helps to clear away negative energy. This is the perfect crystal to have in your classroom for sure!

Howlite - This white stone helps to strengthen memory and desire for knowledge, helps to teach patience, helps to eliminate stress, and improves communication. We are loving that journey for us.
Citrine - Citrine is great for removing negative energy from your body and living space. It can also bring you inspiring dreams if you keep Citrine by your bed at night.
Angelite - This gorgeous blue stone is so serene and tranquil. It will help you connect with your sprit guides. Angelite also helps release tension, anger, and stress.
Orange Calcite - This crystal helps to bring insights into the causes of apathy or lethargy, allowing us to take back control over our lives. Its vital energy can serve as a catalyst for the release of past traumas that hold us back, allowing for optimism and joy to come in.
Clear Quartz - Last but not least, every classroom should include some clear quartz. This stone represents purity, space, and patience. Clear Quartz helps to eliminate negative energy, unblock energy flows, and improve your mood.
Your crystals can be on your desk, in your class window, or on display on a shelf. Every student would benefit from the direct energy and calming energy that the crystals provide for your space.
As with any crystal, make sure to set your intentions around the full moon and bring them home to leave them outside to charge overnight. That full moon energy will cleanse and charge those crystals right up. If this all sounds a little crazy for you, thats okay. Crystals are also just really beautiful to look at and make any space gorgeous and calming.
Happy Teaching!
