If you lack direction or struggle with confidence, your Solar Plexus may be the problem. These nine crystals for the Solar Plexus can unblock and stimulate this vital Energy Center.
The Solar Plexus (Third Chakra – Manipura) is the centre for mastering your personal power. Located just below the breast bone, this “fire” centre is yellow in colour and connects with the adrenal glands and pancreas.
As an ego centre, the Solar Plexus provides confidence, drive, and enthusiasm, which are essential for reaching your goals. A healthy and balanced Solar Plexus also helps you to overcome fears, while providing emotional control and self-belief.
Unfortunately, a blocked Solar Plexus can have the opposite effect. Aside from a lack of confidence and motivation, an imbalance could cause you to feel tired, irritable, and inconsiderate.
Crystal healing is one of the best ways to open and re-balance the Solar Plexus. The nine crystals below all resonate with the Solar Plexus and empower you to move forward with your goals.

Pyrite is a stimulating and stabilising mineral for the Solar Plexus. Known as Fool’s Gold, its energy holds the power of abundance and success.
Nestled within pyrite’s cubic structure is a wonderful energy field that blocks negative energy. This stops outside forces from affecting your mood, which provides clarity when dealing with problems. It’ll also shift your mindset towards success.
Pyrite has a male energy that also stimulates memory, logic and intelligence. It radiates positivity and self-confidence.

Peridot is an energiser and cleanser for the Solar Plexus, your power centre. It also aligns with the Heart Chakra, bringing bountiful healing and forgiveness. This integration helps to release negative thought patterns and behaviours .
Holding onto negative events slows down our progress. Peridot teaches you to learn from past experiences, while also releasing them. This allows you to flourish with new self-confidence and self-worth.

4. Tiger’s Eye (Stone of the Mind)

One of the great things about tiger’s eye is that it harnesses both the Earth’s and Sun’s energies. This powerful combination encourages you to take action, while also trusting your gut instincts.
An additional benefit is that tiger’s eye balances the yin-yang and emotional body. If you struggle with mood swings or low energy, this stone can help.

Origin: Italy, Poland, UK, Russia, Germany, Romania, Dominican Republic, Sweden
Amber is a powerful healer for the Solar Plexus. It’s formed from fossilised tree resin embedded with flora, fauna and other minerals, giving it a strong connection with Earth.
When too much energy flows into the Solar Plexus Chakra, you may suffer from mood swings or unhappiness. Amber is a warm, happy gemstone that cleanses the Solar Plexus and re-establishes harmony.
It’s also wonderful for absorbing negative energy, such as anger, from other people. If you need a boost in motivation or patience, amber is a brilliant stone to add to your collection.
Note: Genuine Baltic amber is considered to be the most powerful.
Tip for Using Amber: Hold amber in your non-dominant hand to promote a positive mindset.

Yellow jasper is a nurturing stone that carries the healing properties of the sun. This makes it a great healing crystal for the yellow Solar Plexus. It has a deep grounding energy, as well as being a powerful stone for protection.
Also, yellow jasper has an innate ability to act like a trusted friend. While encouraging stronger friendships, it shields you from gossip or jealousy. Its positive influence prevents other people’s negativity from affecting you.
Aligning with the softer masculine energy, yellow jasper will spur you with hope and enthusiasm. You’ll gain confidence to speak up for yourself or get that project finished.

Other Crystal Healing Tips for the Manipura Chakra
The crystals in this article are wonderful for opening, balancing, and stimulating the Solar Plexus. They have different healing properties, but all are closely linked to this energy center.
Here are some of the ways I like to use them to maintain a balanced Solar Plexus Chakra:
- Meditation is an important practice for balancing and opening your Solar Plexus. Crystals can deepen your practice, so place a grid around you before you start. Or you can place a yellow crystal on your Solar Plexus.
- Crystal singing bowls (tuned to the note of E) can be a lovely way to open an underactive Solar Plexus.
- As the Solar Plexus is your ‘fire’ centre, walk in the sunshine holding a crystal for the Solar Plexus. This can help unblock and energise this Chakra.
- Crystal elixirs and essences are a lovely way to connect with the energies of the Solar Plexus.
- I use daily affirmations like ‘I am courageous and confident,’ ‘I honour the power within me’ and ‘I am motivated to succeed,’ while holding a crystal. This helps connect to the Solar Plexus, which develops willpower and responsibility.
- Wear crystals for the Solar Plexus in jewellery. This will keep their energetic influence in your auric field throughout the day. Pendants and bracelets are perfect for keeping crystals near the Manipura.
- Yoga is a powerful practice for releasing pent up energy held in your Solar Plexus. Surround your mat with Solar Plexus crystals before starting your sequence. A few rounds of sun salutations activates this Centre.
- Setting goals will help to clear blockages in the Manipura. Either hold your chosen crystal for the Solar Plexus, or place it in front of you, as you make a list of things you would like to achieve. This will help to fire up your willpower.
