INSIDE: Crystals help us tap into different vibrations and currents that invigorate different qualities of our masculine and feminine selves. For masculine energy, certain crystals concentrate on brute strength and proactive thoughts to empower our intentions and dreams.
Centuries of social norms and traditions have instilled ideas of stoic, muscular, fierce manliness when referring to male energy. While these notions resonate for many men, there is much more to this energy and it’s important that we bring balance to our yin yang energies.
The World Health Organization has noted that rigid ideas around masculinity may be detrimental to men’s health. Studies over many years in communities around the world note that, influenced by social mores, men often refuse or reluctantly access healthcare because disease or ailments can communicate weakness to others.
A better way to approach this topic is to acknowledge the many beneficial characteristics of masculine energy – assertiveness, leadership, strength, protection – alongside and in balance with the feminine.
Take, for example, the Hindu trimurti (triad) of gods:
- Shiva the Destroyer both creates and destroys through grandiose, booming feats of strength
- Brahma the Creator, supreme and metaphysical in the triad, exemplifies man’s intense spiritual connection in the universe.
- Vishnu the Preserver offers fierce protection over the lives of humans.
While the Hindu deific-system is complex, with hundreds of godly avatars branching from this trimurti, these gods offer a glimpse at the balance of divine masculine energy.
Many Hindu dieties are linked in male-female forms, and as Ardhanareeshvara – roughly meaning half-god-goddess – these beings exude both masculine and feminine energy.
Thus, it is important for men and women, to tend to their male aspects and harness their fierce passions through grounded strength.
How to Use Crystals to Bring Out Divine Masculine Energy
Crystals are a great way to mindfully tend your masculinity. Their presence serve as reminders of different intentions you can set to tap in to the divine masculine.
The elemental compositions of different masculine energy crystals radiate with the human body to help develop protective auras and to accentuate certain masculine traits.
Male energy especially resonates from the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras.
It’s easy to incorporate the use of crystals in your life so that getting in sync with your masculinity becomes a habit:
- Carry small tumbled stones in your pocket – The crystal energy will still resonate to your body and mind even if you are less mindful about their constant presence with you.
- Wear crystal jewelry – Men wear jewelry, too – just look at pictures of Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu! You can find simple bracelets and necklaces, or if you wear suits, get crystal-embedded cufflinks, tie-tacks, and pendants.
- Keep crystals on your desk, by the bedside, or in your car – Crystals carefully positioned in various parts of the home, office, or other places can purify and protect.
- Use crystals during meditation, yoga, or other healthy exercises – You can position crystals on a yoga mat or meditation space to help you sync your physical body with your spiritual intentions.
11 Masculine Energy Crystals
Masculine crystals tend to come in dark stones of brown, black, and gold shades. Varieties of these crystals may have bursts of bright colors, too.

Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is a fascinating type of aluminum borosilicate that has iron, magnesium, and other metal impurities, which offer some hints of color to the dark, blackish crystal.
