Protection Crystals and Jewelry

Tradition answers this one. Black Obsidian and Black Tourmaline are the classics, Amethyst is the gentler choice, and Evil Eye and Hamsa symbols do the same job as jewelry. This collection leans on Black Obsidian, which makes up most of it.

Black Obsidian, because it comes in more forms here than any other stone. If black isn't your color, Amethyst pieces do the same work in purple. The Triple Stone Protection Bracelet combines three stones if you'd rather not choose.

Pieces you can place and leave. The Black Obsidian Crystal Protection Pyramid by the front door, an Orgone pyramid on a desk, or the Blown Glass Himalayan Salt Lamp in the living room. A Polished Amethyst Crystal Ball works for a bedside.

Something you won't take off. A bracelet is the easiest, because it survives the day unnoticed. The Triple Stone Protection Bracelet and the Anti-jealousy Evil Eye Bracelet are the usual first picks. Or a pendant, if you prefer.

Whenever the piece feels dull to you, which for most people is about once a month. Many tie it to the Full Moon. Sage or Palo Santo smoke, an hour on Selenite, or a night in moonlight all do the job. Skip water for anything with metal.
