Father’s Day is just around the corner. Instead of getting dad another tie or pair of socks, why not think outside the typical and get him something thoughtful and useful? A perfectly paired crystal, of course!

I’ve noticed that people often think of crystals as something that women gravitate towards. We talk a lot about the Divine Feminine and feminine energy. But masculine energy is the yin to feminine energy’s yang—they need one another. And as humans, we are made up of both energies, too.

When you are looking for a crystal for your dad, some crystals resonate with the typical traits we associate with men. But every person is different, their needs are different, and the crystal that is most helpful for them will most likely be different.

But I wanted to give you a place to start. From my experience, these 6 crystals are wonderful for fathers as they support many of the positive qualities we find in the father figures in our lives.

Let’s take a look!

1. Carnelian

If your dad needs an energy boost, Carnelian will make a wonderful Father’s Day gift. This fiery stone spreads vitality wherever it goes and helps you take action in your life. Carnelian is a powerful stone to help you get out of a rut and tap into your powerful energy. It encourages people to embrace the leadership roles in their lives—hello, fatherhood! Carnelian is also full of stabilizing energy that can help you feel grounded even when you are knee-deep in dirty diapers.

2. Tiger Eye

When you were a little kid, courageous is how you probably saw your dad. So a stone that supports courage is perfect for fathers everywhere. That’s why I love Tiger Eye—this is a stone of courage, power, and protection. It embodies its namesake the tiger by bringing fearless energy and vitality to those who work with it. Tiger Eye also gives you a wonderful boost to your self-confidence which is great for new dads who may be feeling a bit uncertain about their new role in life.

3. Amethyst

The life of a father is hectic, to say the least—whether they are stay-at-home dads or working fathers, they have a lot on their plate. Sometimes it's nice to bring a little bit of calm into their lives. That’s where Amethyst comes in. This beautiful purple crystal helps you slow your mind, let go of racing thoughts, and connect with the calm within yourself. In the same vein, it can also help when you are feeling stressed out. Simply having Amethyst in your home can start to relieve stress but using it during mediation is a powerful way to amp up the stress relief and bring a deep calm into your life.

4. Emerald

Becoming a father takes bravery in and of itself. And once you’ve welcomed a child into the world, you need more and more bravery to get through all the ups and downs of parenting. Emerald is a wonderful stone to help build up your bravery. It also is a wonderful stone for achieving domestic bliss—it establishes balance across your physical, emotional, and mental bodies and brings harmony to all aspects of your life.

5. Hessonite Garnet

Being a dad is a big responsibility. No matter the age of your kids, you will always feel somewhat responsible for your children and work to ensure they live happy and fulfilled lives. If you are looking for a crystal to help support responsibilities and commitments, Hessonite Garnet is the crystal you are looking for. It also helps you express your emotions which is so amazing for parents who often feel the need to bottle things up to get through the day. Sharing your true emotions with your children is a powerful way to show them the importance of vulnerability and being open and honest with yourself.

6. Black Tourmaline

Being compassionate and caring are some of the most important qualities of a parent. Dealing with the big emotions of kids takes a lot of compassion, understanding, and patience. That’s where Black Tourmaline comes in. Usually known as a protective crystal, Black Tourmaline has powerful vibrations that help you give and receive compassion. The protective powers of Black Tourmaline shouldn’t be ignored though—it helps you clear your space and person of negativity to create an aura of positivity.

When you are shopping for a crystal for someone else, it’s important to channel them when you shop. Find a crystal that makes you think of them or seems to resonate with their personality—it’s a great way to find the perfect crystal for a Father’s Day gift!
