Seasonal living means embracing many layers of nature, from aesthetic to 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.

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.

Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz has long been associated with all things love and beauty. Keep a piece in your pocket or wear it around your neck to help you soak up the beauty of all the new life around you. This soft pink stone will keep you feeling connected, comforted, and open to all the new opportunities that Spring brings!

Crystals for Summer
Summer is a season of infinite potential and expansion. Warm and bright, the longer days of Summer are for taking action, whether that means getting to work or taking playtime seriously. With adventures waiting around every corner, the boundless energy of Summer asks us, "Why not?"

Rainbow Fluorite
When the activity of Summer has you feeling scattered and spread thin, Rainbow Fluorite will help you find focus and clarity, assisting you in settling down on just the best place to put your energy. Plus, this colorful stone aids in reducing stress and transforming negative energies into positive.

Amazonite
Another watery, blue stone, Amazonite gets its name from the great Amazon River. Just like its namesake, Amazonite's energy flows around us and smooths any rough edges, revealing our truest form. Additionally, this turquoise-colored crystal is great for tempering any aggressions that may be simmering in the Summer heat.

Sunstone
Sunstone appears to capture the bright rays of the Summer sun with its orange color and flashy inclusions. It embodies the properties of solar light – strength, warmth, and strong will. Use it to shake off any sluggish feelings to get the most out of your day (or night).

Crystals for Autumn
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.

Carnelian
Fiery Carnelian reminds me of fallen leaves with its swirling yellow, orange, and red hues. Carnelian can boost your energy when the shorter, darker days of Autumn leave you feeling drained and listless.

Smoky Quartz
Ranging in color from pale grayish-browns to deep blacks, Smoky Quartz neutralizes and removes any negative energies. If you struggle to feel connected to the here and now in seasons of transition, grounding Smoky Quartz will keep your feet on solid ground.

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.

Crystals for Winter
Cold and dark, the Winter season is for resting. Ironically, Winter is often the busiest time of the year and it's easy to find yourself 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.

Legend has it that the dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis are trapped within this multicolored stone, creating a 'frozen fire.' Filled to the brim with mystical energies, Labradorite invites you to take a look at things from all angles to see hidden truths and the magic in daily life, a perfect act of reflection during the dark days of Winter.

Mesmerizing Malachite brings the greens of Spring and Summer to brighten Winter months, harkening the warmth of the resilient evergreens. Packed full of Copper, Malachite is a powerhouse of a stone facilitating change and inner development so that we can emerge from our Winter cocoons anew.
