Just before we start discussing the crystals and stones for Crown chakra healing let’s take a quick look at what is Crown chakra.
The Crown chakra or by its traditional name Sahasrara is the seventh chakra or the seventh energy core.
Being the highest among all the seven both by its position and purpose, Sahasrara is positioned on the crown of your head.
In Sanskrit, Sahasrara means the top of the head or the seat of the soul.
Opening the Crown chakra is the last step of enlightenment.

How to use crystals and stones for crown chakra healing
The best method is by placing the respective crystal or stone over your energy points, such as chakras.
But, having most stones aesthetically pleasing it’s very easy to wear them as jewelry.
Bracelets (beads, chips) or pendants being the most popular because these locations place them over your vital pulse points.
You could choose the more discreet approach by wearing them as rings or earrings.
Another way to use crystals and stones is to place them in key locations inside your living environment.
For example, on your desk or near you while doing meditation. Also, you could place them in the main four corners of your room.
Crystal water bottle
Another method to use these stones and gems is the crystal water bottle.
There are many options to choose from on the market, but if you’re a DIY fan you can make one yourself.
Have your preferred crystal placed inside a glass bottle and then fill that bottle with fresh water. Ideally, you should allow some time to pass before consuming it.
That way you allow the crystal to revitalize and restructure (energetically) your drink(s).
Nowadays, it’s easier and cheaper to artificially produce crystals, stones and gems. Not saying that man-made crystals are not efficient, but if you do that choose some that have a little life prior to their shelf life.
That’s why I insist on always choosing to use natural crystals and stones since most of them are widespread and relatively cheap.
By doing so, you can be sure that those crystals and stones are very well charged.
Take Amber for example which is believed to be millions of years old. Imagine what kind of powerful energies this stone can hold.
Choose the properties, not the package.
So, to recap, here is how you can use these crystals and stones for crown chakra healing:
- Worn as jewelry
- Placed on vital points on your body – chakra stones
- Used in key locations inside your living environment
- Inside a crystal water bottle
Here are some basic usage tips when using crystals and stones for crown chakra healing:
- Avoid combining soft and hard stones during wearing. For example, amber is very soft, while hematite is very hard.
- Do not spray or use any beauty products on them.
- Do not wear them during sunbathing. Heat can alter their appearance and properties.
- To be washed regularly with room temperature water and mild soap. Do not use detergents or other cleaning products.
- Clean and dry them with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing them to extreme temperature variations, especially from very cold to very hot.
- Take them off when going for a bath in swimming pools and/or ocean/sea. Swimming pool water has a lot of chlorine and ocean/seawater is salty, both can alter your crystals.
- It goes without saying but try not to wear them during workouts. Sweat can cause corrosion.
Not all stones can be washed!
Please make sure that you can expose them to water before cleaning with water.
For example, Angelite turns to gypsum when it comes in contact with water.
Cool! Now that you have a piece of basic knowledge on how to use, wear and care, let’s dive into crystals and stones for crown chakra healing.
