The Solar Plexus chakra (Manipura) is the third chakra of the body and is located in the upper abdomen around the position of the diaphragm.
The Solar Plexus chakra is represented by the color yellow and manages our sense of self and is therefore linked to our feelings of self-confidence, self-image, and self-worth.
Because of this, the Solar Plexus chakra is a very important energy center to keep well-cared for, and this article aims to not only reveal the perfect stones for interactions with your Solar Plexus and why, but also how you can use these important stones to your own spiritual advantage.
Why Use Solar Plexus Chakra Stones And Crystals?
As mentioned, the Solar Plexus chakra is the seat of our drive and inner strength.
The Solar Plexus Chakra is the seat of our personality and sense of self, so when our Solar Chakra is neglected we can experience out-of-character emotions or reactions to external stimuli.
A misaligned Solar Plexus chakra can affect how we interact with others and the world around us as well as our perception of self leading to feelings of low-self esteem and self-doubt.
Crystals can be used to balance and realign our chakras, and when our Solar Plexus chakra is balanced we are imbued with confidence and can have harmonious interactions with others.
Alongside this, a balanced Solar Plexus chakra can also help us to make sound decisions and set positive intentions.
10 Solar Plexus Chakra Stones And Crystals
1. Citrine
Citrine is a great example of a semi-precious stone most commonly found in jewelry items that can be worn to keep the Solar Plexus chakra in alignment.
As it is yellow in color it connects closely with the yellow energy of the Solar Plexus and is known to help relieve feelings of depression and increase our overall happiness and satisfaction with life.
2. Yellow Jasper
Yellow Jasper is a stone that is a combination of two other minerals; quartz and chalcedony and can be found in a range of yellow hues.
Yellow Jasper is great for both balancing and activating the Solar Plexus chakra and can therefore be used to increase self-confidence and self-esteem as well as resolve issues from misalignment.
In general, you’ll find that Yellow Jasper releases positive energy to you throughout your day.
Another great feature of Yellow Jasper is its protective qualities.
This stone is able to not only give us positive vibes to help us through our day but also protect us from the negative energies that can affect the harmony of our Solar Plexus chakra.
This makes Yellow Jasper a great stone for those with narcissists or energy vampires in their lives that they cannot avoid.
3. Bumblebee Jasper
If you’ve read one of my lists before then you know I like to add a stone a little out of the ordinary for those already well-experienced in the world of chakra stones, who are looking for something they may not have heard of before.
Bumblebee Jasper comes in a wide range of yellow shades and is characterized by its black and white stripes which is how it got its name.
Like Yellow Jasper, Bumblebee Jasper is a stone of positive energy and protection and is an ideal stone both for balancing the Solar Plexus chakra, but also looking after and maintaining its energy flow.
Unlike Yellow Jasper, however, Bumblebee Jasper can also work to unblock your Solar Plexus chakra allowing us to embrace our creative side and improve our concentration.
4. Amber
Amber is a common stone found worldwide and made from fossilized tree resin.
Amber is highly prized as a Solar Plexus stone and has been throughout history.
This is because Amber’s abilities largely focus on the healing of emotional, mental, and physical ailments caused by Solar Plexus chakra imbalance instead of regulating or cleansing energy flow.
Because of this Amber is commonly known as the ‘stone of healing’.
As Amber is literally the fusion of the earth and the sun, it is known to radiate warm and grounding energies, making it a complementary stone to those used for work on the Root chakra.
5. Golden Heliodor
Golden Heliodor is part of the Beryl family and can come in a range of different yellowish hues.
Known as a hope stone, Golden Heliodor has calming energies which are perfect for those of us whose Solar Plexus chakra is in overdrive (which can lead to restlessness and anxiety).
On the flip side, Golden Heliodor is also an incredibly motivating stone to those lacking the energy needed to achieve their goals and can attract positive energy particularly within the career sector of our lives.
6. Pyrite
Also known as ‘Fools Gold’, Pyrite is actually a valuable stone for healing damage to your Solar Plexus chakra.
It helps us to stabilize our emotions and keeps extreme mood swings or energy…
