Crystal Knowledge: Solar Power for the Summer Solstice

Written by: Emma Sullivan

The summer solstice is one of the most powerful days of the year. Because it’s the longest day of the year, it’s also the one with the most solar power. Use your crystals to empower, attract positive energy and amplify your manifestations. If you don’t already have these in your collection, we recommend Sunstone, Golden Healer Quartz, Orange Calcite and Citrine.

Sunstone

What better crystal to connect with the solstice than the one named after the sun? Sunstone is a powerful stone for dispelling fears and phobias (chasing out the darkness!) It’s a strong stone, inspiring leadership, good luck and abundance. It also turns negative energy into positive. Essentially, it’s the perfect representation of its namesake. 

Golden Healer Quartz

Golden Healer Quartz is a super healer. It shines a light on what’s holding you back by calling in positive energy and high vibrations. It also has a high level of life force energy, which will be amplified by the summer solstice. Use this one wisely! 

Orange Calcite

Were orange creamsicles one of your favorite childhood treats? Orange Calcite, with is creamy orange color and chill vibes, bring back sweet summer memories. It helps get positive energy moving and is a powerful energy amplifier. Its powers of amplification make it a great crystal to work with, especially when paired with Sunstone or Citrine. 

Citrine

Citrine carries the power of the sun, making it perfect for the summer solstice. Citrine is the stone of light, happiness and abundance - everything the summer solstice is known for. This crystal is also known as the most powerful manifestation stone. What better time to manifest than on the longest, brightest day of the year?
