The One Crystal You Need To Get If You're A Leo

If you are a Leo sign, you likely feel creative, generous, and spirited on any given day — you're the friend who won't hesitate leaving their house at 1 a.m. to get their best friend out of a bind, and you're always vivacious, passionate, and the life of the party (via Allure). Lion-hearted and fierce, Leos have an innate royal status that brings the drama, are natural leaders, and love the luxe life (via Astrology-Zodiac-Signs.com).

As sun signs, Leos exude vitality everywhere they go, and since the sun never goes in retrograde, Leos are known for their stability, too. That being said, just like lions, Leo signs can be overly prideful, and can let their ego and jealousy get in the way of their relationships (via Allure). With so much explosive energy, Leos can make incredible use of grounding crystals, bringing them back to a peaceful (yet determined) center. If you're curious to try them out yourself, there are three crystals in particular that will harness your stubbornness and ego, while still giving you room to shine bright.

As described by crystal expert Heather Askinosie in an interview with Oprah Daily, "Crystals emit positive, uplifting, energizing, and calming vibrations that help you achieve a more peaceful mind and a revitalized physical state of being." With each kind of stone bringing a different atomic and energetic interaction, it's important to consider which ones will best benefit you as a vibrant Leo — and your lucky three crystals are pretty surprising.

With a strong character and big heart that leave behind jolts of energy everywhere they go, it's no wonder Leos need crystals that bring some energy back to them. As gemstone ritual expert Kristin Petrovich told subscription service FabFitFun, "[u]sing astrological gemstones can be beneficial as they typically work in tandem with one's personality," and can balance out any possible weaknesses. In essence, crystals can help Leos regain their vital energy, let go of their classic stubbornness, and forget about their pride, while still accenting their fearlessness and strength.

So which stones work best for high-spirited Leos? Crystal healer Mazz Hanna told FabFitFun that Leo signs may benefit from bringing in a tiger's eye crystal into their home, which offers "energetic support and enhances creativity," especially when dealing with a bit of social butterfly exhaustion. As Leos love getting creative, whether by acting, painting, or simply making hilarious jokes with friends, this stone may be highly beneficial.

Another crystal that works great for the Leo sign is the gorgeous rose quartz, which "encourages self-acceptance and enhances empathy" for the somewhat ego-centered sign (via FabFitFun). Since "Leos' own hubris is the greatest threat to their happiness," rose quartz's effects might take the spotlight off, while creating balance. Moreover, garnet stones (via GemSelect.com) can work for Leos to promote loyalty and increase strength and confidence, which simply emphasize traits the lively lion sign is known for.
