20 Red Colour Crystals | Meanings & benefits
I have chosen 20 red crystals for you, as the overriding benefit from all of them, is courage and passion – whether it’s a passion for life or romantic passion, these energetic red crystals will add some spice to your life! If you are lethargic and unmotivated with little enthusiasm, red crystals will get you back on track.
Why use red crystals?
Strength: Red colour crystals will bolster, and recharge at all levels – body, mind and soul.
Success: Red gems increase “motivation” which can be tapped into to create abundance. Instead of dreaming of success, you will be ready to focus to make success happen.
Courage: The colour red itself symbolises action and courage, as all red gems increase the wearer’s metabolic rate and enthusiasm for life.
Protection: Red gems add a layer of protection to the wearer from the root/base up.
Red colour crystals help in healing
All red gemstones have the overriding power to detoxify, bringing the body back to peak performance. Carrying or wearing red crystal stones boosts metabolism – as they are associated with the element fire.
Red colour crystals help relationships
Red will stir up your life chi, giving you more confidence in sexual partnerships. Associated with the root/base red gems will make you feel dynamic and stable – enabling you to create a supportive union.
Red colour crystals & wealth
Red crystals are high vibrational, active stones that help you get out there and achieve your goal of abundance.
Meaning of the colour red
The colour red symbolises love and is associated with passion, plus vibrance and confidence.
Negative: Used to “alarm” the viewer it can act as a warning. Red is eye-catching which is why fire engines, stop signs, and emergency signals are all red.
Red gems and the root/base chakra
Red is the colour of the root/base so all red crystals are related to this chakra and will enable you to balance its energy. Gems that have multi-red, yellow and orange tones can be used to energise the sacral and solar plexus as well.
The root is your “base” – think of your home, the place you feel safe and can relax. If you have experienced trauma regarding your home space, you will have to work on your root/base energy to clear blockages, or mute it if it is too open – download our chakra guide for information on how.
If your root/base has been compromised, as you can imagine, the chakras above will suffer too as the power from the earth will no longer pass up the body to feed them, this affects in particular, the sacral and solar plexus. For more information on the subtle energy that flows through our bodies: 7 Chakras meanings and a simple balancing meditation blog. A crystal with multi tones/shades heading more towards orange, like Sunstone, can heal the root/base and sacral, see the images of crystals below for more in-depth information.
Energetically, you’ll notice red crystals have stronger power as they hold masculine energy, and the ones with a tint of red, have feminine energy.
