Let’s Get Magical: 6 Crystals Perfect for Halloween
Do you feel that nip in the air? That, my friends, is fall!
From pumpkin-spiced everything to sweater weather to the most beautiful foliage, fall means a lot of different things. But for so many of us, fall is all about the spooky season—it’s Halloween! While you may think about eating all the mini candies you can get your hands on and dressing up in your favorite costume, Halloween is so much more than that.
Halloween is rooted in the traditional Pagan holiday Samhain which celebrates the Celtic new year. So it should come as no surprise that this is a spiritually awakened time of year. This makes it a wonderful time to tap into your crystals and all the energies they have to offer.
Halloween’s powerful history makes it the perfect time of year to celebrate and connect with your crystals. When trying to decide which crystals you could be using during this time, turn to those that can protect you from unwanted energies, keep you grounded, and deepen your spiritual abilities.
Here are 6 crystals to get you started!
1. Orange Calcite
It’s more than just the stunning orange color of Orange Calcite that makes it wonderful for Halloween. Orange Calcite is a very spiritual crystal that is linked to your higher consciousness, as all Calcites are. If you’re looking to experience channeling, astral travel, or out-of-body experiences, Orange Calcite is ready to be your guide. When you return to your physical body, this stone will help you remember the experiences you had during your explorations of your higher consciousness. Orange Calcite can also help to deepen your meditation practice if you aren’t looking to go too far into other realms.
2. Smoky Quartz
Whether you’re hitting up a Halloween party or just handing out candy from your porch, Smoky Quartz is the perfect crystal to keep with you on Halloween. It is full of grounding and stabilizing energy and beyond that can keep you centered no matter what the night brings your way. Smoky Quartz is also a protective stone—it absorbs negative energy, returns it to the earth, and neutralizes it. When things feel out of control, Smoky Quartz is there to help you find your footing and feel stable.
3. Black Obsidian
Another wonderful protection stone to keep by your side on October 31st—and the other 364 days of the year!—is Black Obsidian. Formed when volcanic lava meets water, even the creation of Black Obsidian fits perfectly with the spooky vibes of the Halloween season. When you are dealing with difficulties in your life, the protective powers of this crystal even stretch to your psyche. The potent protective vibes of Black Obsidian will keep harsh and disruptive energies away and help you feel connected to the elements that created it.
4. Carnelian
The creative powerhouse, Carnelian is a fiery crystal that is packed full of vitality. It is known to help boost your creative capabilities and embrace change in all forms—perfect for the start of the Celtic new year. Beyond creativity, Carnelian is also another amazing grounding crystal. With Carnelian by your side, you’ll have help staying steadfast and stable.

5. Black Kyanite
If you’re looking to explore your spiritual side this Halloween, Black Kyanite is the crystal you need in your life. It can increase your powers of manifestation, astral travel, clairvoyance, and so much more. It can also help to rid yourself and your space of negative energies that may be hanging around.
6. Amethyst
A Third Eye and Crown Chakra crystal, Amethyst can not only offer you protection, but it can also help you deepen your spiritual connection. When you want to get the most out of the thin veil between the physical and spiritual realms that is said to happen during this time, Amethyst is a perfect choice. It can not only help protect you from unwanted energies, but it can also help you tap into your spiritual side. Amethyst can facilitate a connection with your spirit guide and allow you to uncover your truest self.
