· 1 min read · Meaning and symbolism

What the seven chakras are, which colors and stones are traditionally associated with them and how they appear in bracelets, pendants and rings.

Seven round gems in the colors of the chakras

Chakras are, according to Indian traditions such as yoga and tantra, energy centers of the body. The association of each one with a color and with particular stones, as it is known today, is largely a modern elaboration popularized in the West in the 20th century. It is presented here as a cultural and symbolic tradition, with no proven scientific basis.

Stones to wear #

Many of these stones are soft or delicate; consider their hardness and care. See stones for everyday wear, amethyst, rose quartz and lapis lazuli.

What wearing a stone means #

For many people it is a reminder of a personal intention. It is a symbolic choice; it does not replace the advice of a health professional.
