Opinions differ among crystal healers about which types are best for dealing with anxiety. That said, there is a consensus that those which are favourable for stress management and coping with anxious feelings tend to be ones that will help you to relax more, such as moonstone, which is often given the nickname of the mellower. Amethyst also tends to be favoured as a crystal that is good for elevating mood and releasing pent-up anxiety. You may also find that certain crystal healers will use rose quartz and celestite for this sort of healing work. Citrine is also widely used to help deal with troubled or unsettled minds because it is associated with relaxation and emotional release. When tension needs to be released, rhodonite is often preferred as it helps people to make connections with their deep emotional past.
