Root or Base Chakra Stones

Balance & Ground Your System

➤ By Liz Oakes

Base chakra stones particularly help the area of the body where your ambitions and interest in life originates and aids the health of reproductive organs.

Also known as the root chakra, the first chakra helps you to ground yourself down through the legs to the earth, through the earth star chakra.

Choosing to use specific crystals that particularly stimulate this chakra may be helpful for a number of reasons. 

Most specifically, they help to ensure the health of the physical body. The black stones are well known to aid grounding.

Stones that stimulate the root chakra area are commonly red or black. The red stones are most well known for their action to aid the organs located in the lowest part of the body. 

This includes the reproductive organs and the digestive organs.

Those with a weak root or base chakra often have a weak libido, lack of motivation and may feel disinterested in life.

Which Base Chakra Stones To Use

There are quite a few stones that will stimulate this chakra, but before you use any specific crystal known to aid this chakra I advise the use of Kyanite.

Kyanite comes in many colors and all of them are effective healers. Use any color of Kyanite before you use other stones. Kyanite's action on the body is to bring all of the chakras into alignment.

Blue Kyanite is the most common variety of Kyanite, and works well on all chakras., but if you can, get some Black Kyanite as it is an excellent base chakra stone.

Not only will it clear energy in all chakras, but it can also replenish the meridian system. Some people may have had surgery in the lower back or in the lower stomach area.

If you have suffered from any accidents where there may have been damage done there, Kyanite will help to heal the area by bridging the energy gaps. 

After you have used Kyanite it would be best to follow by using the individual chakra stones for the first chakra.

The base chakra stones are powerful to ensure a robust libido, good circulation in the reproductive areas, and a strong interest in living life to the full.

Some of these are easier to find than others and of course the cost varies as well, but those mentioned are a good selection of stones in the chakra colors.

Colors Of Root Or Base Chakra Stones

The base or root chakra resonates to the color of red. It is possible to buy quite a few different sorts of red crystals, including beautiful gemstones.

The red base chakra stones are particularly powerful to aid you to increase your libido and attraction to your partner and interest in life.

Using any of the red base chakra stones is extremely helpful.

The red stones will bring through vitality and may aid your personal relationships. There are a number of well known red crystals as well as some not so common stones.

There are quite a few beautiful red crystals, some more common than others, including Red Spessartine Garnet, Rhodolite Garnet, Red Almandine Garnet and of course the beautiful Red Ruby above.

The red stones are some of my favorite crystals. Red stones for this chakra includes Eudialyte, Red Coral, Cuprite, Red or Crimson Calcite, Rubellite also called Red Tourmaline and Red Jasper. 

The stones for the root chakra are made up of both the red and black stones and as well there are also a number of other colored stones, so the list is quite long.
