Clear Quartz
Clear quartz is exactly what it sounds like - a clear gemstone and variety of quartz. This crystal has no exact zodiac meaning, but it is said to be related to Leos and Capricorns. Clear quartz is known as the "master healer," recognized to heal a variety of symptoms and cleanse all our organs. It allows for smooth energy flow throughout the body, which will eliminate any negative energy in its way. Clear quartz follows the Crown Chakra since it can aid in how we think, increase spiritual wisdom, and improve both memory and concentration.
Rose Quartz
Just like clear quartz, rose quartz is not directly related to zodiacs. However, it improves your wellbeing in a different way, besides just lowering anxiety and stress. Rose quartz is the "stone of love," and therefore is related to many loving properties. It attracts unconditional love and allows for love to enter our life, so try meditating with this crystal to bring in compassion, self-esteem, and balanced emotions. Plus if you are ever feeling sad or need to mend a broken heart, you can hold your rose quartz to your chest so you feel connected with your Heart Chakra.
