5 Crystals You Should Never Wear While Sleeping

If you can sleep soundly while wearing these 5 crystals, that would truly be a miracle. When you purchase crystals from StarglowGems, we provide you with a comprehensive guide indicating whether each crystal is suitable for nighttime wear. If you're wearing crystals individually, you should definitely avoid these 5 types, especially the last one—99 out of 100 people use it incorrectly.

First is Obsidian. While many people know obsidian is a protective stone, they may not fully understand how it works. Obsidian acts like a Venus flytrap, actively attracting and absorbing negative energy. Wearing obsidian at night can be overwhelming for those who are already prone to overthinking, potentially stirring up all your inner negative emotions. Sensitive individuals might even find themselves in tears.

Second is Amethyst. Despite its soothing color, amethyst actually enhances focus and stimulates inspiration, making it a crystal that keeps your mind overly active at night, leading to vivid dreams throughout the sleep cycle.

Third is Tiger's Eye. I call it the "Stone of Kings" because it ignites confidence and strengthens willpower with its powerful masculine energy. A friend of mine once forgot to remove his tiger's eye bracelet before bed—he woke up at 1 AM and couldn't fall back asleep for the rest of the night.

Fourth is Rhodochrosite. Known as the stone of love, rhodochrosite can cause anxiety, restlessness, and an inability to settle down when worn at night. Many people report experiencing rapid heartbeat while wearing it to bed.

Pay special attention to the fifth crystal—the one that causes the most problems: Black Tourmaline. I've heard from at least ten friends who placed black tourmaline by their bedside, only to wake up with headaches and tingling scalps. This happens because black tourmaline works to clear and purify our energy field, but when energy flow accelerates, it can easily overload the mind. I strongly recommend keeping black tourmaline out of your bedroom at night—save it for daytime meditation sessions where it works wonderfully.

Many sellers on other platforms won't share this crucial information with you, but the truth is, many crystals are simply not suitable for nighttime wear. If you struggle with insomnia, consider getting a sleep companion crystal to hold in your hand—it provides comfort and warmth throughout the night.
