Crystals Every Witch Should Have

It can be overwhelming when faced with the decision of what Crystals you should have in your collection. When I started out I chose the crystals and stones that I found most interesting. From there I started to collect Crystals that would help me with my practices and rituals. I still have a small collection but I wanted to share some of the essential Crystals you should have when you're starting out.


Clear Quartz Crystals is a must have for any witch. If you only have the money to buy one crystal this should be the one you go for. It's easy to cleanse and is used to store or amplify energy. It's a very diverse crystal that can be used for protection balancing, meditation, and dispelling negative energy. 

Amethyst is a light to dark purple variety of quartz and because of its color, it is great for use in magical workings. It helps deepen meditation, improves psychic ability, and aids in the remembrance of dreams. Wearing the crystal or placing it on your nightstand or altar will produce the greatest effect.

Malachite is known for its deep emerald hues and is perfect for prosperity magic. It is also a great crystal for protection, supposedly warding off evil and allowing the bearer to sense danger to come. It is also due to its green hues that many witches, especially green witches, use it in grounding rituals or spells. There are plenty of green crystals you can use, but I personally find malachite to be one of the prettiest out there.

Obsidian is a glass-like, black crystal that is a favorite crystal for scrying mirrors. It can also be used for protection, boosting strength, and also breaking down obstacles due to its volcanic origins. Being black, you can also use it in banishing magic.

Tiger's Eye is named for the bands of gold in a base of brown, is used for strength, courage, good fortune, and boosting self confidence. This is the first crystal I ever purchased I was drawn to the band of colours and it felt like a strong stone. As it turns out Roman soldiers used to carry it in their pockets when they went off to battle.

Moonstone calms and balances emotional situations. It's milky white in color and ruled by the Moon. Like amethyst, it aids in dream recall and increases intuition. The Moon, Sun, and Earth are used a lot in Witchcraft so this is a great crystal to have in your collection.

There are so many more crystals I could add to this list but this is a good starting point.
