Certain crystals and stones are traditionally associated with the qualities of courage and strength. Whether you are seeking to cultivate these traits in yourself as you face challenges in your life or focus on overcoming blockages in psychic readings, here are some of the best crystals and stones for this purpose along with tips for preparing gemstones for use in daily life.
Crystals & Stones To Support Courage
Some crystals and stones have long-standing associations with courage. Aquamarine is a popular greenish blue crystal used to represent courage and provide protection. Bloodstone or heliotrope has a speckled appearance with red spots. These crystals vary greatly in appearance, but can have similar functions.

The color of a crystal or stone may strengthen its linkage with particular traits. Jasper appears in many colors, but red gemstones are often associated with courageousness and determination. Tiger’s eye is often golden in color, but red tiger’s eye compounds the grounding properties of this material with connotations of strength and power.
Crystals & Stones for Strength
Several gemstones are known to have connections with the ideal of strength. This concept is represented in traditional tarot card decks by a card in the Major Arcana, which could factor into tarot card psychic readings. There is some overlap between crystals and stones associated with strength and courage, but there are also several uniquely strong materials.
Natural red amethyst derives its color from inclusions of hematite or iron and may partake of the calming and spiritually oriented properties of this crystal. Hematite is iron ore that used to ground and shield a seeker. Carnelian is another popular red mineral. Red garnet crystals and the stone blood agate may also be useful for promoting or manifesting strength. Clear or smoky quartz can provide amplifying or connective resonance.
How To Use Powerful Crystals & Stones
Select crystals or stones that represent your intention to grow more courageous or strong. If the color red appeals to you, you can cleanse, ground and charge any of the gemstones suggested above. The properties of a substance may determine whether it is best to rinse a stone under cold running water, submerge it in a salt bath or do other symbolic cleansing measures that involve incense smoke or sound.
Charge a crystal in sunlight or moonlight in a windowsill or outside for at least four hours. Program the crystal by holding it as you express your intention, call on the highest vibrations and your highest self, ask permission to use the material to this end and thank a crystal or stone for the opportunity to connect.
Crystals or stones to enhance strength may be chosen on the basis of established meanings or because you feel drawn toward a material. While the most popular gemstones associated with courage and strength include bloodstone, carnelian, hematite, jasper and tiger’s eye, you can use any crystal or stone to reinforce your intention to grow stronger and become more courageous.
