8 Crystals for Self-Confidence

If you need a little more confidence and self-love, these crystals—like rose quartz, carnelian, and black tourmaline—will help boost your personal happiness.

We all go through times of negative thoughts or negative energies. And whether you believe that crystals work for manifestation, or you just want something to believe in, crystals do have healing properties. Here, we’ll go over the crystals that are said to spread the most love, support, and positivity. Cast away negativity and boost self-confidence with these beautiful stones. 

One of the best ways to figure out which crystal will have the best effect on you is to utilize your birth chart. The moon sign is where self-worth (and self-love) stems from. So, determine your moon sign, and pick the crystal that resonates best with that zodiac sign.

Another use for this stone is to help overcome toxic relationships—with others and yourself.
