Seasonal living means embracing many layers of nature, from aesthetic to the energetic. Crystals provide a great opportunity to bring both the look and feel, but also the vibes, of each season into your space (or onto your fingers, ears, or neck), allowing you to sink deeper into the energies of each season to nurture yourself and tap into the wisdom of the flow of the earth.
Here I'm sharing three crystals for each of the four seasons, combining aesthetics with energies to recommend stones to place around your house or on your body to use crystals as a tool to embrace seasonal living.
Crystals for Spring
Spring is a season of renewal. It abounds with the energies of growth and newness and is painted the color of fresh leaves, daffodils, and clear blue skies. It's an opportune time to plan for the year and plant seeds that allow you to flourish with nature.

Green Aventurine
Spring reminds us that the only constant in life is change and Green Aventurine is here to help you embrace it! Known as the "Stone of Opportunity," Green Aventurine is believed to bring luck, abundance, and positive change, helping you attract growth in both personal and professional areas. Additionally, it activates the heart chakra, encouraging emotional healing and balance, which aligns beautifully with the nurturing and rejuvenating qualities of spring.

Amethyst
If you're struggling to prioritize your seemingly never-ending to-do list (I'm looking at you, spring cleaning), this purple stone is for you. Not only is Amethyst great for relieving stress, but it is also a fortifying crystal that increases intuition – a perfect combo for pausing to focus on what's most important before diving into yet another project. As the energy of spring encourages fresh beginnings, Amethyst helps clear away old, stagnant energy and invites in new, positive vibrations.

Cooler temperatures and shorter days let you know that Autumn has arrived. It's time to harvest the seeds of intention planted earlier in the year and practice gratitude for the bounty received. A season of transition, Autumn is a time of wrapping up old projects, letting go, and preparing for a restful Winter.

Tiger Eye
Tiger Eye's beautiful gold and brown striations bring together the energies of the sun and earth, balancing light with dark. As the nights grow longer and the days grow shorter, Tiger Eye's iridescent rays boost willpower and confidence to keep seasonal blues at bay and to support those suffering from low energy or seasonal affective disorder. As the season encourages introspection and setting new intentions, Tiger’s Eye supports focus, decision-making, and self confidence, helping you stay grounded and balanced as you embrace change.

Crystals for Winter
Cold and dark, the Winter season is for resting. Ironically, while winter ushers in the holiday season, it also brings the busiest time of the year, making it easy to feel overloaded and overwhelmed. Take a page from nature's book and give yourself a break. The final season of the year is a time to reset in preparation for restarting the cycle and doing the whole thing over again next year.
