Obsidian is more than just a dark, glossy stone - it’s a powerful ally in energetic protection and truth.

Heading back to school can be both exciting and overwhelming. Crystals are a great way to support focus, calm nerves, and bring a little extra confidence to the classroom (or study space). Whether it’s Fluorite for concentration, Amazonite for easing anxiety, Carnelian for motivation, or Black Tourmaline for protection, each stone offers a unique energy to help students shine. Keep one in a pocket, backpack, or study desk as a reminder that balance and clarity are always within reach.

When we give a crystal an intention, that energy stays with it. That’s why regular cleansing is so important - to clear away old vibrations and make room for the new. Whether you use smoke, sound, moonlight, or your trusty selenite slab (my personal go-to!), keeping your crystals energetically clear is key to working with them intentionally.​
