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

Humans have sought out alternative medicine for centuries. From traditional Chinese medicine to Ayurvedic Medicine, which originated in India, and into homeopathy, the notion that the Earth has the power to heal people is not new. Some people end up turning to alternative medicine because the medicines prescribed to them are too harsh on their bodies or maybe it's because of the way doctors or nurses treat them, according to the Irish Times. Per the outlet, "many patients may feel that they're simply a cog in a machine, subjected to impersonal, by-numbers care."

According to a Pew Research study, "roughly six-in-ten American adults accept at least one of [the following] New Age beliefs": "reincarnation, astrology, psychics and the presence of spiritual energy in physical objects like mountains or trees." Given those statistics, it's not all that surprising that these days, some are turning to crystals as a form of helping them heal and reset.

Today, you can get crystals and gems in almost any size, shape, color or weight. And according to Vox magazine, "You've got a problem? There's a crystal for that. From being broke to a broken heart, crystals have been said to have physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and metaphysical powers." Pair a gem or some crystals with your zodiac sign, and you just might discover the formula to make yourself unstoppable. But what would be the right fit for your sign? Each sign in the zodiac is unique and powerful in their own right — what works for an emotional water sign like Cancer will not work for the fiery extrovert Sagittarius. 

So, what is the best crystal for a Sagittarius?

Crystal healer Mazz Hanna told Fab Fit Fun that "Sagittarius [loves] to explore new adventures, travel, and experience anything that enables freedom." For that reason, she noted that the sign "benefit[s] from working with crystals that can replenish their energy while keeping it protected."

While there are several different types of gems and crystals that would work best for a Sagittarius, you could probably best use a lepidolite to bring you balance. Lepidolite contains a high amount of lithium, which is also used in anti-anxiety medication and it could help soothe your soul. It is also a gorgeous and rare mica that usually comes in pink, red, or purple. So not only can you quell the fire in your heart, but you can look stylish while doing so. 

Additionally, Hanna shared that the crystal "brings balance and encourages stillness." And once the Sagittarius in your life is calm and collected, you can all finally go visit the Libra in your life and they can cook you a feast without a scene being made.
