While I’m not one to subscribe to the idea of “new year, new you”, I do love any chance to re-energize and refocus my energies on positivity. And the New Year is the perfect time to do that—it’s a natural restart that is already brimming with positive energy.

Crystals are a great way to channel and amplify that positive energy. They can help you boost your mood, focus on the positive, block negative energy, and even bring positive energy to your sleeping habits!

I’m breaking down my 11 favorite crystals for positivity in the New Year. Let’s go!

1. Himalayan Salt Lamp

If you are looking for a piece of decor that is not only beautiful for your home or office, but also brings positive energy with it, look no further than a Himalayan Salt lamp. They help to increase feelings of calm and well-being and are a great addition to any room. They’ve also been said to help clear the air and protect you from harmful environmental toxins, like EMFs.

2. Onyx

If you are looking to balance your home, office, or yourself, Onyx is the right crystal for you. It creates a protective shield against negativity of all kinds—whatever kind of negativity you find yourself faced with Onyx can help to protect you. It brings stability and strength and is a strong protector stone. It can keep stress away and is even known to ward off nightmares when kept close to your bed at night.

3. Amethyst

If you’re looking to bring a bit of calm and serenity into your life along with positive energy, Amethyst is the crystal for you. This gorgeous purple-hued crystal gets rid of all the negativity surrounding you and also attracts positive energy, giving you a much-needed energy boost! Additionally, it helps to relieve stress and anxiety, which will also have a direct impact on your ability to tap into your positivity.

4. Black Tourmaline

One of the most powerful crystals for protection, Black Tourmaline has amazing grounding energy. It is this grounding energy that brings a sense of stability and balance to your life. It can also help to cleanse your mind from negative thought patterns and get rid of any stress or tension you’re holding onto.

5. Ocean Jasper

Just like its name, Ocean Jasper is reminiscent of the healing ability of water—it brings a positive “go with the flow” energy. Ocean Jasper helps you to combine your will with your emotions so that you can work towards finding joy and happiness in life. It also helps you let go of any past traumas that are weighing you down.

6. Fluorite

Bring a positive attitude and energy to your life with Fluorite! This crystal helps to keep you focused and organized which can help bring a more positive outlook to your work. Keep a piece of Fluorite in your workspace to encourage clarity and concentration. Or you can wear a piece of Fluorite and benefit from its ability to clear chaotic energies from its surroundings.

7. Celestite

There's something amazing about a crystal that can even help fill your sleep with positive energy! Sometimes called the Cosmic Lullaby, keeping Celestite in your bedroom can bring calm and tranquility that helps you have a positive rest. The naturally high vibration of Celestite brings a gentle positivity to your life that can help keep you centered.

8. Smoky Quartz

Smoky Quartz is a wonderful stone for grounding, but did you know that it also has the amazing ability to bring more positive energy into your life? Smoky Quartz transmutes negative energy into positive energy—using its powerful connection to the earth, this transformative crystal takes any negative energy around it and absorbs it directly into itself. It then takes that energy, returns it to the earth to be cleansed and recycled as positive energy, and draws that positive energy back to you! Quick tip—because Smoky Quartz can transmute energy, it is important to clear your crystal often.

9. Satin Spar Selenite

Imbued with calming energy, Satin Spar Selenite is the perfect crystal to bring more positivity into your life. Satin Spar Selenite brings inner peace by clearing your mind and space of negative and stagnant energy. I recommend placing it in any room of your home to clear that space of negativity and attract positive energy into the same space.

10. Citrine

What could be better than manifesting the life you’ve always wanted? With Citrine, you can do just that. This sunshiney crystal increases your self-confidence, hope, and optimism, giving you everything you need to move towards your best life with a positive outlook! Citrine will bring happiness into your life, inspire a carefree attitude, and let you see the things in your life that are already amazing. And to boot, it protects against negativity—it’s a real positivity powerhouse!

11. Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is known far and wide as a crystal that is all about love. But did you know that it has powers far beyond romantic love? Rose Quartz is an amazing crystal for positive energy because it helps you foster self-love. Hope, compassion, and kindness are all intrinsically linked to Rose Quartz—and they can all help you find those qualities within yourself. This beautiful pink crystal then helps you embrace those qualities while you foster a positive relationship with yourself.

The right crystal can help you bring more positive energy to your life. Whether you choose to meditate with your crystal, wear a beautiful necklace or ring, or even just carry a tumbled touchstone in your pocket, crystals are a great way to connect with positivity in the new year!
