Crystals Associated with the Earth Element: Best Choices

Earth can bring so many blessings in our lives because of its energy, its symbolism and its magick. You can use crystals to work with the earth elements and make the most of them.

What is the earth element?

Earth is an element connected to sensation, perception, and corporeity. Everything that can be perceived by our body, according to alchemy, has some connection with this particular element which is often associated with salt or stone that must be sculpted and worked.

Passive feminine element par excellence, it has, together with water, the ability to lower the potential of the two active elements: fire and air.

Precisely because of all these characteristics set out above, the Earth is also connected to the unconscious and the hidden, as it is the seat of chthonic and infernal energies unknown to man.

However, despite its role as a passive, feminine and unconscious element, the Earth is recognized by Alchemy as the basis of the other elements and as the point of arrival in the alchemical process of transformation and combination of the same elements.

Precisely for this reason, the Earth has a dual value: mother, but also daughter; creator, but also created. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are Earth signs.
