Amethyst Crystal Combinations: Positive & Other Stones

With its high spiritual vibration and intensely nurturing energy, amethyst is a must-have crystal in any collection. The stone resonates with soothing, calming vibes, enhances memory, and promotes emotional balance. 

Citrine and black tourmaline are particularly great partners for amethyst. Citrine adds some fiery spark to amethyst’s peaceful aspect, while amethyst’s ability to transmute negative energy combined with black tourmaline’s grounding, highly protective nature makes this a dream pairing, too.

Below you’ll find some easy ways to use these crystal combos in your daily life, to experience the benefits of their passionate – but peaceful – partnerships.

Positive Combinations

Amethyst and Citrine

Combining amethyst’s ability to connect us to our spiritual side with citrine’s bright and bouncy, abundance-attracting energy results in a marriage made in crystal heaven! These two gorgeous stones complement each other perfectly and are great at supercharging your visualizations and keeping you on course to reaching your goals.

Stress Busting

One of the obstacles that can get in the way of manifesting our desires is negative thinking and stress. While these things can be hard to avoid, teaming up amethyst with citrine can blow away the worry cobwebs and reignite our inner spark once more.

The easiest way to do this is by wearing the crystals, ideally against the skin. Amethyst is associated with the Third Eye chakra, so wearing this stone set into earrings is a good idea, while wearing citrine close to its relevant chakra, the Solar Plexus, as a long necklace will work well.

Working in Feng Shui Harmony

Balance and harmony are what you can expect when you welcome amethyst and citrine into your life. Capitalize on this by placing these crystals around your home in a way that promotes positive feng shui.

Putting these crystals in the very center of your space is an effective means of getting the good vibes going. Alternatively, place amethyst and citrine in the far left corner of a room (as you stand from the door) which, according to feng shui, is the prosperity and wealth corner.

And if your relationship could do with a little bit of peace, love, and understanding? Place these crystals in the relationship corner, which is found in the southwestern area of the home.

Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs

Amethyst and citrine are the perfect team for taking on any limiting beliefs that may be getting in your way, and releasing them. This is a vital part of the manifesting process, and doing it effectively can speed things up considerably.

When creating your intention, take some time to think about the beliefs that you need to let go of for success – do so while holding an amethyst and a black tourmaline crystal. Feel the stones’ grounding, protective, inspiring energy surrounding you and cheering you on.

Limiting beliefs could be along the lines of, ‘I’m not good enough to be loved by someone special’ or ‘I’ll never get the job I really want.’ Identifying these thoughts – and sometimes they’re buried deep – is one of the first and most important steps to making your dreams come true.

Amethyst and Black Tourmaline

With amethyst’s power to heal and black tourmaline’s strong capacity to protect, these crystals work brilliantly together to evict negative energy and get you feeling like your best self again, fast. Amethyst’s soothing vibe can help you work through difficult emotional issues and hurts, while black tourmaline gives you the sense of safety needed to do so.

If you’d like to try out this crystal pairing, have a go at the ideas below. Use them as a springboard to come up with your own rituals and practices!

Aura Repair

Crystals can be used to repair, heal, and bolster the aura, and amethyst and black tourmaline are a really good team for this. Amethyst is effective at gently cleansing the aura, and mending it by drawing in divine energy – it can even repair auric holes. Meanwhile, black tourmaline will coat the aura in a psychic shield, protecting it from potential damage in the future.

Simply place a selection of amethyst and black tourmaline crystals around your body – about a hand span away from you – lie down, and relax. Spend at least ten minutes enjoying this ‘aura bath’ while the crystals perform their magick!

EMF Protection

Black tourmaline can used as an effective defense against electromagnetic fields generated by so many of the devices we use every day, while amethyst makes it easier for our bodies to cope with EMF exposure. Simply carrying these crystals with you throughout the day will help, or you could place them next to devices such as your phone and laptop.

Placing a large black tourmaline crystal near your home’s WiFi router, and an amethyst crystal on your bedside table is a powerful way to provide holistic protection.

Guard and Uplift the Energy of Your Space with a Crystal Grid

To protect the energy of a space and lift its energy, all you need is an amethyst and black tourmaline grid.

You can make a simple grid using just two amethyst crystals and one black tourmaline stone.

It’s important to cleanse the crystals before using them in a grid.

You’ll be creating a triangle, to encompass the space you wish to protect.

Start by placing the top stone (this can be either the amethyst or the black tourmaline, whatever feels right) at the top point of the triangle, follow the line of the shape down to lay the second crystal, and then across to place the third crystal.

Finally, visualize a band of energy connecting up the lines to form a solid shape, starting and finishing at the top of the triangle to close the grid.

Amethyst Combinations to Use with Care

In the vast majority of cases, all crystals can be successfully combined, as long as the intention of the user is good. However, there are some things to note when pairing up certain stones, and we cover a couple of such scenarios below.

Amethyst and Carnelian

There’s nothing so wrong with this pairing – apart from the fact that the high energy of carnelian may cancel out the soothing vibes of amethyst.

Feel free to try combining these crystals, but if you’re using amethyst to bring calm, be extra mindful of the potential ‘energy boost’ effect of carnelian.

Amethyst and Hematite

Similar to carnelian, you may find that hematite’s energy is in conflict with that of amethyst.

While amethyst promotes inner reflection, hematite is a highly driven stone that some users could find counter-productive to their needs.

Things to Remember When Combining Amethyst with Other Stones

Understanding a few key things about amethyst is important to help you figure out which crystal combo will be best for your needs or intentions. Here are the things you need to know:

• Amethyst is connected to the Third Eye and Crown chakras.
  
• Has a powerful connection to the blood.
  
• The stone may be particularly beneficial for the signs Pisces, Aquarius, and Capricorn.
  
• Amethyst is affiliated with the element of Air.
  
• Is often used to ward off nightmares.
  
• The stone is helpful in the relief of migraines, stress, and tension.
  
• Amethyst is great to use when meditating and is said to connect the user to the higher spiritual planes.

Amethyst Crystal Combos for Harmony, Release, and Protection

Amethyst is a nurturing stone that, generally, is very happy to work in partnership with other stones to support you.

Try pairing it with citrine to boost healing, and promote prosperity and all-round good vibes, or with black tourmaline to make the most of some serious protective powers. 

Why not keep a journal as you experiment with combining crystals so that you can note down the effects of each pairing, and identify the blends that work best for you?
