Calcite is a powerful cleanser and is good to have around you because it can clear stagnant energies from any environment.Calcite is known as a stone of discernment. It helps us know which information is essential and retain this information in our later use memories.

It is an excellent stone to use when balancing and cleansing all of the chakras. It is a stabilising stone. Psychologically, Calcite connects our intellect with our emotions, producing emotional intelligence

Calcite symbolises cleansing. This is the perfect crystal to have with you when you’re looking for a significant change in your life or when you need to make a fresh new start.

For those families going through hard times or finding it ever more difficult to understand one another, Calcite is highly recommended. 

Calcite can bring energies of reconciliation in your life. Whether you’ve been with someone for a week or a whole decade, these crystals can help you repair broken relationships or save relationships that are on the rocks. It will help to reduce arguments or petty fights because positive and loving energies will surround you. Calcite crystals will foster a more harmonious existence between you and your loved one.

This crystal will help you to communicate clearly and effectively so that no one will feel misunderstood, unappreciated, or left out. They will help you maintain a healthy balance in your relationship. Calcite will calm intense feelings and encourage you to have a better handle on your emotions. It will show you how you can keep your cool, even during the worst arguments.

Calcite is a stone that always helps me to feel a sense of spiritual cleanliness and balance.

I chose Calcite as a stone for Libra energy because of it's ability to balance and cleanse the users energies which is a prime concern for Libra. Another reason for choosing this stone is because of its ability to help with relationships which is a prime concern for Libra.

One of the best places to use Ametrine is to improve your relationship with your romantic partner.

The natural compatibility of the two minerals that mingle together in this stone will improve your compatibility, and remind you that even when you have points of difference, the two of you come together in order to make a wonderful whole.

Ametrine blends masculine and feminine energy – the masculine energy of citrine, and the feminine energy of amethyst.

If you feel like the energy of your relationship with your partner is unbalanced, place an Ametrine stone next to your bed. Its energy will help keep the energy levels equalised, and prevent one form of energy from taking over completely.

If you feel that any of your other relationships, personal or professional, have unbalanced energy, Ametrine can help you with them as well.

I chose Ametrine primarily because it is a fusion of two stones. Just like the symbol for Libra as well as the energies of Libra always having an element of a counterpart and collaboration. It fuses two quite different energies and creates a harmony between them.

Emotionally Agate gemstones help us to overcome bitterness, anger, and resentment. It helps us let go of negative feelings towards others, foster love, and the courage to start again after a traumatic emotional experience.

It can help resolve disputes with grace and intelligence and is especially recommended to be kept in a pocket or around your neck if you’re getting into a conversation you don’t want to turn into an argument.

Agate will promote stability in your relationship and remove the emotional disharmony. It will allow you to talk about the things that are making you unhappy. It will give you the opportunity to right your wrongs and give your relationship another shot.

Apart from the medical treatments, Agate also creates a balance between the physical, emotional, and spiritual states anyone who wears it.It can enhance your analytical ability and improve your perceptiveness. It can also eliminate and cleanse the negative energies from your body. 

I chose Agate because of its ability to create harmony in relationships.

These are my choice of crystals for Libra energy. I have focused on stones that are to do with partnership and relationship which for me is the overarching theme when it comes to this zodiac sign. 

with love and light xoxo Elizabeth
