➤ By Liz Oakes

Why would you want to use crystals for friendship? These stones have a good action to nurture relationships and build trust with those closest to you.

There are a number of stones that will help to enhance current friendships and may help to improve how well you can get on with others in your life.

Often your partner is your best friend as well and this relationship may be boosted by crystals that nurture and support the growth of unconditional love.

While friendships are generally different to love relationships, it is valuable to use stones that enhance trust and confidence between you and your close companions.

The use of heart based crystals can be helpful and you may find that they help you to find ways to support and nourish your existing relationships.

By strengthening the bond between yourself and others you may find that a more authentic and supportive relationship will develop that will last over time.

Crystals For Friendship: Meaning Of Friendship

So what exactly is friendship and how does it benefit you? When you first meet someone, at the beginning you are what is known as acquaintances.

This means that there is not a close bond between you yet. Once you spend more time together and have a liking and trust for the other person you may choose to call each other friends.

Of course these days many of us have a number of friends on social media and this has altered the meaning of the word "friend".

True friendship is when you begin to develop close authentic bonds with other people, often because you have a lot in common and find that spending time together is a pleasure. 

Once you find that you are more accepting of both the good and bad parts of your interaction, you may then call this relationship a friendship.

This is of course quite different to the deep intimate bond that develops between two people who are in a love relationship, although both include affection for the other person.

Friendship can develop into a deeper love relationship of course, and as you strengthen the love based bonds often your intimate partner becomes your best friend.

Strengthening Existing Relationships

Many of the stones listed in this article have a good energy to strengthen existing relationships by helping to nurture confidence and certainty in each other.

Their energy may spark a reassuring and caring way of interacting with others and over time this will develop into durable and trustworthy feelings between you.

Many of the crystals for friendship discussed in this article resoante within the heart chakra or the higher heart chakra and relate to the energy of love. 

The energy of love based bonds is commonly associated with your partner but most of you know that there are different kinds of love, including what you feel for your family and your friends.

Developing healthy social ties is advantageous and it is valuable to encourage better communication with everyone even if they may never become your bosom buddy.

Heart chakra stones are well known for their action to boost the flow of positive energy between people and will help to improve emotional connections.

Once you have begun to develop mutual affection with someone else it is valuable to nurture these friendships by being a good friend.

Helpful Ways To Use Crystals For Friendship

Although there is information on this in the above mentioned article I will quickly outline some of the top methods you might choose.

Individual stones and crystals for friendship work well if you keep them close to you during the day, and this can be done in a few different ways.

Simply placing them where you spend the most time is effective, and if you are working during the day the best way to do this may be to wear them.

Wearing Crystals

Crystal jewelry is now quite common, and you might find that lovely pieces of the more common stones are easy to obtain.

Once you are at home it's easier to keep them close simply by putting them in the room where you spend the most time.

For many of you this might be the bedroom, but just be aware that some stones can be stimulating and can cause sleep problems. But as we are all different, try it and see.
