20 Best Scorpio Crystals And Stones For Intuition & Transformation
Is your sun, moon, or rising sign in Scorpio, and you’d like to know what the best crystals for Scorpio are? Check out this detailed guide for all the Scorpio crystals and stones to add to your altar this season.
Even if you’ve got no Scorpio in your birth chart, working with these crystals can help you embrace the Scorpio energy when the sun or moon moves into this mysterious sign.
The scorpio sign
Date: October 23rd – November 21st (if your birthday falls between these dates, then Scorpio is your sun sign)
Element: Water
Symbol: The scorpion
Planetary ruler: Pluto
Scorpio is a fixed water sign, symbolized by the scorpion, and its planetary ruler is Pluto (but was formerly Mars).
This season arrives in the dark phase of the year as the harvest comes to a close. Samhain also falls during this time, which moves us into the magical, spiritual underworld. All of this infuses Scorpio with an air of mystery, death and rebirth, and other-worldliness.
Why can we not stop talking about scorpios?
Scorpio has always been the most mysterious sign of the entire zodiac, and Scorpios have a bad rep for being dark, untrustworthy, sex-crazy creatures.
Why?
Because the archetypes associated with this sign are the Witch and the Sorceress. Witches have always been powerful, independent women connected to their craft, making them a severe threat to patriarchy and the rollout of modern religion. And I think this “darkness” has stuck to the Scorpio sign since the witch hunts.
On top of this, Scorpios are known for being very passionate people in touch with their sexuality. And modern religion has done its best to beat this sexual nature out of all of us, particularly women.
The sign of Scorpio is linked to the dark feminine energy that has been suppressed for centuries, but we are gradually reclaiming this shame and guilt-ridden part of ourselves.
The scorpio archetype
At their heart, Scorpios tend to be very social, loyal, intuitive, and curious. They’re driven, ambitious, and strategic and make great leaders. They’re also known for being brave truth-seekers who deeply value authenticity.
Scorpios tend to protect themselves by hiding their true feelings and never revealing all their cards, which is another reason they’re labeled mysterious. And while some people run away from their emotions, Scorpios are a water sign and love to feel the entire depth and rainbow of all feelings. These witches desire to walk all the way to their edge.
Like all signs, they have weaknesses that can show up if their energy becomes unbalanced.
Sometimes they struggle to communicate their feelings with clarity and logic. They can be mistrustful in relationships and struggle with jealousy. Loyalty can turn to possessiveness or control. Their mood can shift from joy to rage in a heartbeat. Cross a Scorpio, and you might well feel their sting!
Fortunately, Scorpio crystals can help you balance this energy and get back into alignment. This is where your Scorpio gifts can shine.
What is the scorpio birthstone?
The months and zodiac signs have several stones and crystals that represent them. But one stone is often the most popular or widely recognized, becoming known as that month’s birthstone.
The two most common birthstones for November (and Scorpio) are Topaz and Citrine, both of which you’ll find in the list of Scorpio crystals and stones below.
20 Best scorpio crystals and stones
I’ve rounded up the best crystals and stones to work with if you’re a Scorpio sign or want to work with Scorpio energy. These crystals will help you work through common Scorpio shadows, balance your energy, and embody the magic of this season.
1. Snowflake Obsidian
First up on this list of the best crystals for Scorpio is Snowflake Obsidian, a freckled, lesser-known cousin of the popular stone Obsidian.
The crystal is calming and soothing, which can help ground and balance you on all levels: mind, body, and spirit. If you find yourself stuck in a negative or stressful mental chatter loop, Snowflake Obsidian will help you let go of these thoughts.
This is also the crystal to call on if you want to engage in some peaceful meditation because it empowers isolation which can help you quieten your mind and surrender to the present moment.
2. Sodalite
Sodalite, also known as the harmonizing stone, can help Scorpios pause and take a breath before reacting or making a decision. And we can all do with some of this calming energy! How often have you blurted something out in the heat of the moment or instinctively repeated old, learned actions instead of taking a step back and considering what you truly want to say or do?
Sodalite will help you consider what will best serve you and the person in front of you in the long run. Connected to clarity and communication, this crystal can help you translate your intense emotions into easily digestible words coated in empathy and compassion rather than anger.
3. Citrine
Citrine is one of the birthstones for November and Scorpio season. It’s a bright yellow, sunny stone that radiates happy vibes. If you’ve been going through a rough patch recently and need to turn that frown upside down, this is the crystal to call on. It will help you feel more positive, energetic, and creative.
Citrine is also a powerful stone to help you attract more money and success in your sacred work. And as Scorpios are so hard-working and driven, this might be the crystal you need to place on your desk to help you speed up the manifestation timeline.
4. Apache Tear
Apache Tear is a black crystal (a type of Obsidian) used to ground and protect. If you’re carrying any fear or anxiety around a person or situation, this stone can help you feel safe and release any negative energy or blockages.
Scorpios are highly intuitive and emotional people, which means they often think, act, and feel from their emotions and can be disconnected from their logical minds. Apache Tear is one of the best crystals for Scorpio if you want to move into your logical brain and apply logic and strategy to your career or a business and achieve more outward success.
5. Labradorite
Scorpios value truth and authenticity, and Labradorite promotes mental clarity and can help you connect on a deeper level with your subconscious and meet your shadows. It’s the perfect crystal for uncovering hidden aspects of your personality that you didn’t even know existed.
Scorpios’ primary ruling planet is Pluto, which is connected to death, rebirth, and transformation, and Labradorite magnifies this energy. It’s an excellent crystal to carry with you if you’re on the cusp of change and can help to illuminate your soul path.
Labradorite is one of the Scorpio crystals connected to the throat and third eye chakras. It can help you express yourself more clearly to others and ward off negative vibes from people around you.
6. Rainbow Hematite
Rainbow Hematite, also known as the master grounding stone, is a warrior-esque crystal that will help you feel more safe and comfortable in your skin and life’s battles. This can be a useful crystal for Scorpios who find it difficult to trust others or to stay grounded during conflict.
Because Scorpios are so intuitive, as water signs tend to be, you might pick up on subtle energies and vibrations around you, which can drain and tire you and leave you in a funk. Rainbow Hematite can act as a sponge and soak up and dissolve these electromagnetic fields leaving you feeling lighter and brighter.
7. Smoky Quartz
While Scorpios love to feel all the feels, this can lead to emotional bottlenecks if you don’t fully process and release those emotions. Smoky Quartz can help free you of this emotional weight and get you back on your feet again with a new thirst for life.
This can be one of the best crystals for Scorpio because it helps you reconnect to your intuition, which is one of Scorpio’s most prominent gifts. Smoky Quartz will help you trust and back yourself when deciding the next move in your passion projects, so it’s a great stone to work with if you’re unsure which path to take or you’re feeling riddled with self-doubt.
8. Yellow Topaz
Yellow Topaz is another common birthstone for November and for Scorpio. Golden yellow in color and connected to the solar plexus chakra, this high-vibe crystal is brilliant for setting new intentions and manifesting your deepest desires, especially if your intentions center on money and work success.
If someone in your life has got your tail out, ready to sting, this crystal will dissipate that darkness and help you think and move from a place of gratitude, light, and joy. Because this stone can help balance the solar plexus chakra, it’s great for restoring faith, strength, and willpower. If you suffer from self-doubt or low self-esteem, Yellow Topaz will help you accept your strengths and weaknesses (we all have them) and inspire more confidence.
9. Charoite
Scorpios are known for being on a life-long journey of inner growth and transformation. Charoite is linked to the crown, third eye, and heart chakras and can help deepen your connection to your intuition and encourage you to trust that inner voice.
This violet-colored stone can also help you open up to others, tune into their vibration, and practice more acceptance and understanding, especially when faced with the perceived negative aspects or shadows of another.
Charoite is also the crystal to call on if you’ve got a lot on your plate and need assistance managing your energy reserves while being of service in your work and personal life.
10. Scolecite
Scolecite is the stone of inner peace and is the perfect crystal to work with if you need to relax. It also activates and balances the higher chakras, which is why it’s commonly used in meditation.
Scolecite is one of the strongest Scorpio crystals for doing a total auric cleanse and clearing out any unwanted energy, the same way you might do a spring clean of your house. The more you work with it, the more buried pain, guilt, and shame you will release.
Scolecite is also a brilliant crystal that encourages lucid dreaming and helps you remember your dreams and find meaning in the imagery when you wake up. Everything we dream about is a message from our subconscious and relates to something in our reality. So understanding our dreams can help us get clear on who we are, what we desire most, and how to manifest that in the outside world.
11. Rough Bloodstone
Next on our list of the best Scorpio crystals and stones is Rough Bloodstone. This sea-green colored crystal helps to activate the third eye chakra and boost your intuitive and psychic powers.
If your inner guidance has been feeling off or non-existent lately, placing this crystal in the middle of your forehead during meditation can help you reconnect to your higher self and your inner wisdom.
12. Rhodochrosite
Connected to the heart chakra, Rhodochrosite can help you move into a state of unconditional love for yourself and others, something many Scorpios need a little help with. This stone carries a soft but powerful feminine energy that can help you forgive (yourself or someone else), heal emotionally, and end any self-sabotaging behaviors or patterns.
Rhodochrosite is a strong crystal for Scorpios because it’s also closely tied to new beginnings and fresh starts, which correlates to the ruling planet Pluto’s death and rebirth energy. A Scorpio woman is in a constant state of transformation, and this stone is a powerful companion for this journey.
13. Onyx
Onyx is a dark and dreamy crystal that has been loved by countless Goddesses and Queens of the past, notably for its protective powers. But while this stone absorbs and shields us from negative energy and potential harm, Onyx is also a stone of good fortune.
It can help boost your creative focus, amplify your wisdom, and help you tap into strength and willpower you didn’t even know existed within you.
This is one of the top Scorpio crystals for calling in magic when your world needs a little sprinkling of stardust.
14. Turquoise
Turquoise is a beautiful stone in a bold blue-green color that has been held sacred and used as a protective talisman since ancient times.
Primarily linked to the throat chakra, this crystal can help Scorpios who have difficulty expressing their authentic selves and feelings to others and communicating with clarity and wisdom rather than pure emotion. Doing this can strengthen your relationships and help you better understand your thoughts and emotions.
Turquoise is also a great crystal for relieving anxiety, stress, and even depression, making it perfect for those who tend to push themselves too hard in their work endeavors.
15. Amethyst
Amethyst can be one of the best crystals for balancing Scorpio energy because it increases your intuition and can help you connect with your spiritual guides and other realms. Scorpios love to delve deep into their inner selves, and this stone can be really conducive to this.
Amethyst is another crystal that can help you love unconditionally and tap into the positive energy that lives within you, within all of us.
16. Unakite
Unakite, also known as the stone of healing, is a type of Jasper that can help alleviate blockages and balance the heart chakra. It helps us find harmony, patience, and tolerance while encouraging us to be more gentle with ourselves and others. This can be helpful when navigating difficult situations in our relationships and feelings of jealousy and distrust.
Unakite is a beacon of love and compassion. It can offer us that grounding energy we need when we’re up in the clouds or overcome by a fiery rage.
17. Ruby Fuchsite
Ruby Fuchsite is one of the Scorpio crystals that can help us release the weight of trauma we’re carting around and heal our emotional bodies. This crystal will help you reconnect to mamma earth, open your heart, and speak and act more from your heart space.
This crystal can also offer us strength and courage during challenging times and give us a new burst of energy to move forward.
18. Lapis Lazuli Tumbles
If you’re a Scorpio who seeks more clarity and understanding of who you are and your mission in this world, you need one of these healing crystals in your collection. Lapis Lazuli encourages radical honesty, understanding, and self-awareness. This results in authenticity and the peace and freedom of living in your truth, which we all seek on some level.
Lapis Lazuli will help you speak your truth, which relieves us of anger and frustration, and leads to fulfillment and soul alignment. It can also help you create close bonds with your tribe of cheerleaders who will inspire and champion you to the end. If you feel like your friends drain you or make you feel small, you haven’t found your tribe yet—use this crystal to help you on your search.
19. Malachite
If you’re going through a period of change or growth right now and your energy is in a constant state of flux, Malachite is the stone to work with. This crystal’s fluid energy will ease worries, help you navigate fear, and cultivate personal power. But be warned, it won’t do this gently! This is a crystal of tough love. It might not be the stone for you if you’re super sensitive.
Regardless, you can count on this crystal to protect you throughout your journey, no matter which path you take. But it encourages us to take responsibility for our actions, seek our own counsel, and move wherever we go with strength and grace.
20. Botswana Agate
The final stone on this list of Scorpio crystals is Botswana Agate. This healing crystal helps us cultivate inner stability and protects us from emotional stress. This harmonizing stone helps us let go of emotional baggage, obsessive thoughts, and sabotaging patterns so that we can ground and bring our focus and attention back to the present moment while acknowledging the bigger picture.
If you tend to dwell on the negative side of life rather than looking for the silver lining or an opportunity in a problem, this crystal can help transform your mindset.
How to work with these scorpio crystals
If you’re a Scorpio sun, moon, or rising sign, or you have a stellium of Scorpio somewhere else in your chart (that’s three or more planets in one sign), you can work with these crystals any time to help balance your Scorpio energy and clear any shadows.
If your sign isn’t Scorpio, you can still benefit from Scorpio’s gifts and unique energy when the sun is in this sign (October 23rd to November 21st every year) and when the new and full moon falls in Scorpio.

- Wear them as jewelry
- Carry them in your handbag or pocket
- Place them on your body
