The Grounding & Protection Collection features mostly black and brown crystals.
Black crystals are primarily known for their protective qualities. They offer a shield against negative energy, absorb and neutralise negative vibes, and provide a grounding effect. These crystals are often associated with the root energy centre related to grounding, security, and basic needs. Their connection with the root emphasises their role in providing stability, a sense of safety, and anchoring one's energy in challenging times.
Brown crystals are typically used for their grounding and balancing effects. They help connect with the earth, bringing a sense of stability and balance and aiding in practicality and decision-making. Often linked with the root and sacral energy centres, brown crystals support physical health, enhance one's connection to nature, and encourage rational, pragmatic thinking.
