Choosing Crystals for Daily Use: Highlighting Sugilite, Selenite, and Shungite
July 29, 2024With the start of the school year right around the corner, I thought it would be a great time to write this post. Whether you’re heading back to school or just trying to stay on top of your studies, finding ways to maintain focus and keep stress at bay is key. As someone who deeply values the supportive energy of crystals, I’ve found certain stones to be particularly helpful for students. As some of you know, I went to massage school just a few years ago, and I had crystals in my pockets, around my neck and in my backpack all the time! These are my top five crystals for school—each one chosen for its unique ability to enhance focus, clarity, and success.
1. Fluorite: The Brain Booster
Let’s be honest—school can sometimes feel overwhelming, with all the information you need to absorb and remember. That’s where Fluorite steps in. Often called the “Genius Stone,” Fluorite is my go-to when I need to clear mental fog and sharpen my focus. This crystal is like a breath of fresh air for your brain, helping you organize your thoughts and stay on track. Fluorite comes in a rainbow of colors, but for this purpose my personal favorite is a darker shade of purple.
How I Use It: I keep a piece of Fluorite on my desk while working or studying. You can also carry it in your backpack to keep its energy with you throughout the day. For an extra boost, get a piece of fluorite with a point on the top, like a tower or generator.

2. Clear Quartz: The Clarity Companion

Clear Quartz is a powerhouse crystal that amplifies energy and focus. It’s like having a little spark of clarity right in your pocket. I love Clear Quartz because it works well with any other crystal, boosting their effects and helping you stay on task.
Because Clear Quartz is amazing at amplifying energy, be sure to clean, clear and recharge it regularly. If your crystal is full of denser energy, it won’t be able to do its job at its fullest potential.
How I Use It: Place Clear Quartz on top of your study materials to help you absorb information more easily, or hold it during study breaks to recharge your mental energy.
3. Citrine: The Confidence Crystal
School isn’t just about focusing; it’s also about feeling confident in your abilities. Citrine, known as the “Success Stone,” brings a warm, sunny energy that can help you stay positive and motivated. When self-doubt creeps in, Citrine is there to remind you of your inner strength.
How I Use It: I like to wear Citrine as a pendant or keep a small piece in my pocket during school hours. It’s a wonderful reminder that you’ve got this! I keep one in my purse.

4. Hematite: The Grounding Guardian

If stress is your enemy, Hematite is your best friend. This grounding stone keeps you centered and balanced, especially during those hectic school days when emotions can run high. Hematite’s energy is like a protective shield that keeps you calm and focused, no matter what’s going on around you.
There are so many great ways to have hematite on your body, as a necklace, bracelet or ring. Hematite is a very dense, heavy stone, so be sure to find something that agrees with you so you can be sure to have it with you always. Hematite rings can be pretty delicate so if you aren’t particularly careful with your hands, you might want to think about a beaded hematite bracelet.
How I Use It: I hold Hematite in my hand during meditation or keep it on my desk to soak up its calming vibes while I study. It’s not usual to find me with a beaded hematite bracelet on or even a hematite ring on my thumb. I’ve found on my thumb I have less of a chance of breaking it accidentally.
5. Sodalite: The Logic Lifeline
Sodalite is the stone of logic and rational thinking—perfect for when you’re tackling complex subjects or problem-solving. It’s also a fantastic crystal for enhancing communication, making it easier to express your thoughts clearly and confidently.
How I Use It: Carry Sodalite with you during classes or study sessions. It’s especially helpful during exams or presentations when you need to think on your feet.

Bringing It All Together
These five crystals have been my trusted companions on my own journey of learning and growth. Whether you’re dealing with a tough curriculum, trying to stay organized, or just need a little extra support, these stones can make a big difference. Give them a try, and see how they can help you stay focused, calm, and ready to take on whatever school throws your way.
