Violet Crystals: Healing Properties, Uses, & Benefits

amethyst pyramid

Higher thinking and spirituality comes into play whenever we think of the wonder of violet crystals. While darker purple jewels may whisper words of regality and indigo may carry shades of blue, violet is striking silver light and shimmering soft purple. These gems are connected to dreams, visions, and enhancing your relationship with psychic connections. Like many of the purple-hued stones, violet gemstones are intrinsically linked to the crown chakra – our highest chakra and the one that helps us take in all the messages the universe has to give.

Even beneath the banner of violet, there are several different shades and each with its own meaning. Dark violet calls on themes of enchantment, mysticism, destiny, and dreams. It can also be considered an amulet of good luck. Pale violet is imagination and adoration of loving the finer details in life. It’s about finding pleasure and calling a sense of luxury into practice. The shades of violet in-between are said to be the color of music and the shade of following intuition. It is also the color of nobility. All violet crystals are considered to be windows to the soul. These gems marry the energy of red with the gentle easy going hues of blue. They strike a balance from which you can explore your deeper self.

From opening our crown chakra to helping heal migraines and enhance our understanding of dreams and directions, there’s a lot to love about the healing nature of violet stones.

Tapping into your well of spirituality isn’t just about leaping higher and ascending from the here and now. It’s about the ability to stay grounded even when accessing higher plains and turning towards your innate knowledge and infinite wisdom so you can become your own guiding light.

Physical Healing

Violet stones have deep healing energy and most of that energy is centered around serenity and clarity. As many ailments can be a result of emotional turmoil, these violet stones do the work to clear your body of these stress factors.

Violet gems bring clarity, peace, and the promise to be true to ourselves which seeps into every decision we make.

Spiritual Healing

This is where violet gems really shine. Laced with spiritual power, violet stones can clear any blockages from our third eye and can open our crown chakra so we can leap towards higher plains.
