**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**.

## The seven chakras

| Chakra | Area | Color | Associated stones |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Root | Base of the spine | Red | Red jasper, garnet, hematite |
| Sacral | Lower abdomen | Orange | Carnelian |
| Solar plexus | Stomach | Yellow | Citrine, tiger's eye |
| Heart | Chest | Green | Rose quartz, green aventurine, jade |
| Throat | Neck | Blue | Lapis lazuli, aquamarine, turquoise |
| Third eye | Between the eyebrows | Indigo | Amethyst, lapis lazuli |
| Crown | Top of the head | Violet or white | Amethyst, rock crystal |

Associations vary from source to source.

## Chakra jewelry

- **Seven-stone bracelets,** one per chakra.
- **Pendants and rings** with the stone of one chakra.
- **Mala bracelets** for meditation. See [symbols in traditional jewelry](https://www.711grados.com/en/symbols-in-traditional-jewelry/).

## Stones to wear

Many of these stones are soft or delicate; consider their hardness and care. See [stones for everyday wear](https://www.711grados.com/en/gemstones-for-everyday-wear/), [amethyst](https://www.711grados.com/en/amethyst/), [rose quartz](https://www.711grados.com/en/rose-quartz/) and [lapis lazuli](https://www.711grados.com/en/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.
