Spring is officially here—flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and you can feel the buzz of nature waking up all around you! And if you’re anything like me, you are outside enjoying everything that nature has to offer.

More and more people are waking up from their winter hibernations and getting outside to enjoy nature—it’s the perfect time to connect with Mother Earth and tap into the amazing grounding energy she offers. 

Of course, there are some amazing stones and crystals that can help you support that connection.

Here are my favorite 6 crystals that can help you tap into the grounding energy of the Earth!

1. Flower Agate

Can you think about spring without thinking about new flowers blooming? I know I can’t! And that’s only one of the reasons why I love Flower Agate for springtime! This Agate literally resembles a field of wildflowers—with small circles and dots for the seeds and floral plumes that represent the blossoms. Flower Agate vibrates with a soft, nurturing energy that will help you blossom into your most amazing, authentic self. It also carries the innate grounding, "you've got this!" energy that Agate is so well known for! 

2. Moss Agate

Moss Agate contains inclusions of minerals that look like moss and foliage, hence the name! So, not only does Moss Agate look like springtime, it also has an immeasurable link to nature. Moss Agate has an inherent connection with Mother Earth and is connected to both the Root and Heart Chakras. It's Moss Agate’s link to nature that makes it so perfect for springtime. It brings with it prosperity, growth, and abundance—all wonderful energies to carry into the season of renewal. Moss Agate can help you connect with the Earth and in that sense, it is a wonderful grounding stone. It can help you feel more balanced, stable, and whole. 

3. Shungite

Ready to open up and invite spiritual light into your life? Shungite clears the energies throughout your entire body—working with Shungite will leave you feeling cleansed, balanced, and aligned. It will help rid you of the negative emotional patterns that have been holding you back and leave you open for your own rebirth of sorts. It also has the amazing ability to absorb and completely neutralize the dangerous frequencies from EMF radiation as a result of containing the element Fullerenes. Shungite is a wonderful grounding stone for both your physical and spiritual bodies!

4. Smoky Quartz

One of the most powerful grounding crystals, Smoky Quartz can help even the most head-in-the-clouds find their footing in the world. Smoky Quartz is an amazing crystal to cleanse and clear the energy around you—it literally takes negative energy, sends it down into the Earth where it is transformed into positive energy, which is sent back up into your energy field. Pretty amazing, right?! What is better for the season of renewal than a clear energetic aura and a deep connection to the Earth around us? 

5. Hematite

Hematite is intrinsically connected to the Earth’s energy and is also a very strong Root Chakra mineral. This deep connection to the Earth makes Hematite the perfect stone to keep grounded and connected during the spring. Hematite has an innate ability to balance opposites—from the feminine to the masculine, the positive to the negative, it brings resolution to energies that often feel irreconcilable. It also is a wonderful stone for absorbing negative energy as well as providing calming energy in times of stress and worry. 

6. Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood is literally ancient wood that has been gone through the petrification process—it is actually a member of the Quartz family and only the form of the wood remains. It holds an imprint of the last 100 or so million years of the world’s energetic history. Petrified Wood has a deep connection to grounding energy and a profound love of Mother Earth. It helps you recognize that the Earth provides you with everything you could possibly need and gives you the insight to overcome any limiting emotional patterns that are affecting your life.
