The sixth chakra is the third eye chakra, also known as the Ajna chakra. It is located at the forehead between the brows, lending to the name brow chakra. The Third Eye Chakra is represented by the color purple and the element of light.


The third eye chakra represents intuition, imagination, wisdom, and spiritual power, as well as perception and awareness. A healthy third eye chakra allows us to see the big picture or hold a vision.

When choosing chakra stones to work with you'll want to look for crystals that have the same energetic quality as the chakra when it is balanced. For example, if you wanted to work with crystal healing for your first chakra or Root Chakra, you would look for stones that are known to remove negative energy and possess grounding properties.


Each of the seven chakras also has a corresponding color. So you might start with finding a chakra stone that also has this hue. For example, many Crown Chakra crystals are clear or white as this chakra is represented by the color white.

Chakra healing stones work by resonating with the energy of specific chakras, helping to restore balance and flow. Each chakra is associated with a specific color and energy frequency, and certain stones are believed to correspond with each chakra.


For example, amethyst is associated with the crown chakra, while citrine is linked to the solar plexus chakra. By placing these stones on or near the corresponding chakra during meditation or energy healing sessions, they can help to clear blockages and restore balance.
