Blue skies, blue oceans, blue crystals! There is something so lovely and calming about the color blue and that characteristic often translates into blue crystals. The color blue brings to mind beach vacations and open spaces, clear skies, and relaxation.

But there is a lot more to the color blue than meets the eye. Let’s explore everything there is to know about the color blue and I’ll share with you 6 of my favorite crystal beauties that are not only strikingly blue but also boast extraordinary healing properties.

Unpacking blue

Blue is often seen as a relaxing color and there is a good reason for that. It’s been proven to lower our heart rates, body temperature, and blood pressure—just seeing the color blue can have a physically relaxing effect.

Blue symbolizes wisdom, deep understanding, steadfastness, and dedication. It is the color we associate with introspection and looking within ourselves. Blue represents serenity and peace and is often linked to spiritual fulfillment.

When used in the business world, the color blue brings with it notions of stability and strength—it’s no wonder 33% of the top brands in the world have blue logos.

There are two shades of blue that appear within the chakras. Blue is associated with the Throat Chakra which helps you with all types and facets of communication. Indigo is associated with the Third-Eye Chakra which helps you connect with the spiritual realms and improves your intuition.
