Crystals and chakras: the colour-by-colour match

Published on 26/07/2026 · By Sébastien Joumel
In brief

In tradition, each chakra is linked to a colour, and so to stones of the same hue. This guide gives the match for the 7 chakras and their stones — a reference to build a "7 chakras" bracelet or choose by intention. Reminder: this framework is a spiritual tradition, not science.

What is a chakra?

Chakras are, in Indian traditions, seven "energy centres" aligned along the spine, each linked to a colour. Crystal healing matches them with stones of the same colour. This is a spiritual, symbolic framework, not a scientific fact (see sources).

Building a "7 chakras" bracelet

A 7-chakra bracelet gathers a stone of each colour. For it to last, favour hard enough stones (see our bracelet guide) and check none is a dyed imitation. It's as much a beautiful colourful object as an intention support.

Frequently asked questions

Which stone for which chakra?

By colour match: red jasper and black tourmaline (root), carnelian (sacral), citrine (solar plexus), aventurine and rose quartz (heart), aquamarine and turquoise (throat), lapis lazuli (third eye), amethyst (crown). It's a spiritual tradition, not a scientific fact.

How do I build a 7-chakra bracelet?

Gather a stone of each colour matching the seven chakras, favouring stones hard enough for daily wear and checking none is a dyed imitation.

Are chakras scientifically proven?

No: the chakra system belongs to Indian spiritual traditions. The matches with stones are symbolic and are not a scientific fact or a medical treatment.
