Guide to Crystal Sprays for Protection

So many crystals are amazing for protection. They each have slightly nuanced protective benefits, and some can even be infused into water to create a crystal spray for protection.

Since not every stone is suited for this purpose, we will explore what are the best crystals to use for a crystal spray for protection. 

The best stones for crystal protection sprays are determined by their protective metaphysical benefits, and their physical structure being suitable for infusion into a spray formula. Crystals such as Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, Labradorite, Garnet, Shungite, Brown Jasper, Smoky Quartz, and Clear Quartz are well-suited.

Making a crystal protection spray is another powerful way to connect deeply and attune to the protective vibrations of a particular crystal by the process of alchemizing your personal spray and every time you use it. 

At the end of this article, you will have the information you need to safely and effectively explore this particular practice of crystal sprays.

What are Crystal Sprays? 

Crystal sprays are essentially made up of a pure water medium that is imprinted or infused with the vibration of a particular crystal. Water is known to be very useful for this purpose as it can be restructured on a molecular level by energetic vibrations. This includes the vibration crystals, but it is also patterned by the energy emotionally charged or verbalized intentions.

The simple yet powerful alchemy required to make a crystal spray for a specific purpose is the combination of the Water element, a water-safe crystal, and clear intention. The process can parallel the makings of a gem elixir or crystal essence, but in this case, the essence is used as a spray or mist instead of for ingestion.

Gem elixirs are known to have been present in Ancient India and China. Today, they are still made and used as a crystal-infused drink, added to different cosmetics, including body mists, and also used as a spray that is suitable for spraying a space, object, or your body to receive specific benefits.

12 Crystals to Make a Protection Spray

The following are some of the suitable crystals for making protection sprays. We will detail each stone’s specific protective qualities and the appropriate infusion method you should use to create a crystal spray with each stone.

Black Tourmaline

This potent protection crystal is best directly infused into pure spring water for a short period—2-3 minutes will work perfectly well. This crystal does contain trace amounts of aluminum, but it is tough and so not readily soluble.

In the short time this stone rests in the water, it encodes, or imprints, its frequency into the liquid, which can then be used as an essence spray for protection, particularly from negative energy in the form of toxic recurring thoughts, emotions, and diseases.

It is also an excellent stone for protection from external negative influences. Spray your Black Tourmaline spray around your body or personal spaces for auric shielding and protection before going out or allowing people into your space. 

An affirmation to use when making or using this spray is, “I am protected from recurring negative energies in all forms.”

Hematite

This iron oxide mineral is a protector of peace and balance. It is generally protective from negative energies and is a good grounding and protection crystal to connect with during psychic exploration.

Hematite can be infused into a spray by intentionally placing your stone into pure water for up to 9 minutes. Remove the crystal from the water and dry it, then bottle up this crystal-encoded water to be used as a protective spray.

You can use it externally when you feel the need to rebalance or in preparation for or during a multidimensional exploration to land safely back into your body. “I am grounded, stable, and at ease” is a suggested affirmation to speak aloud when infusing or using Hematite crystal spray.

Labradorite

Labradorite is helpful in protecting us from intense mood swings and aggression. It is also effective for protection from distractions that hinder creativity and personal growth.

Set your intentions for creating a crystal spray to harness the protective qualities of Labradorite. You can repeat an affirmation, such as, “I am steadily calm and focused,” to clarify your intention. Then place your Labradorite in pure spring water for 6 minutes–no longer. 

Use this Labradorite crystal essence in a fine misting spray bottle or a diffuser to set the tone, bring greater focus and protect your energy space.

Obsidian

This dark volcanic stone is classically used for its strong protective qualities. A spray infused with Obsidian is good for protecting your positivity, motivation, and peace. It is an excellent stone for removing blockages on both physical and energetic levels and supports protecting healthier states of being. 

You can create an Obsidian elixir by soaking the stone in pure water for up to 8 minutes. After that, this imprinted water can be used as a crystal spray for protection.

You can spray it directly onto areas of your body that feel blocked or spray your aura and space to maintain a positive vibe proactively. You may also take your Obsidian crystal spray internally. A powerful affirmation to pair with Obsidian crystal spray is, “I am free and shielded from all negative energy.”

Tiger’s Eye

Connect with the Tiger’s Eye using a crystal spray to harness its protective qualities related to your strength, confidence, sense of self, and sovereignty.

Although Tigers’ Eye is pretty durable, there are conflicting reports on its safety in water. Hence, it’s best to use an indirect method of infusing this crystal energetically into pure spring water. 

Utilize the power of intention and affirmation, such as, “I fully own my strength and power.” Place the stone on top of your vessels filled with pure spring water (not directly touching the water). This can be done in sunlight and left for up to 4 hours to indirectly infuse and later be used as a spray.

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz is a beautiful addition to any crystal spray. It is a stone that is programmable with intentions. You can hold a small piece of Clear Quartz and set your intention for protection in general, on all levels, or protection in a precise way.

Then directly place your crystal inside your spray bottle and leave it to infuse for a day before use. With this crystal, you don’t need to remove it from the water if you don’t want to, as it is durable enough and safe to stay in water for a long while. 

When making the spray, activate it with an affirmation related to your intention. Each time you use the spray externally or internally, repeat an affirmation, such as, “I am always divinely protected.” The energy of your words and intentions will be amplified through the vibration that Quartz holds in the water medium of your spray. 

Smoky Quartz

You want to use Smoky Quartz crystal in your protection spray to shield you from energetic pollution or malevolent entities. This is an essential stone to attune to for protection while exploring your psychic powers or delving into shadow work. 

Intentionally infusing Smoky Quartz vibration directly into pure spring water for up to 2 hours will produce a crystal elixir with powerful protective benefits. You can utilize Smoky Quartz crystal spray to cleanse and protect your body, home, practice, or workspaces.

Combine this spray with an activating affirmation, such as, “I am supported with protection throughout my human and spiritual experiences.” This will help clearly direct the energy of your crystal and spray for its protective purpose.

Brown Jasper

Brown Jasper has an earthy energy that holds a kind and gentle, yet intense and fiery protection when it needs to be—the feminine nature of protection. This nurturing stone holds a space to feel at home, stable, present, cared for, and free of stress.

This is such a special protection spray, especially for your home or if you are a parent or caregiver. You can use it to support yourself and your loved ones. It can also be used during prayers for the protection of the Earth and all of the sacred and interconnected beings.

Infusing Brown Jasper is easy, as it is a physically tough crystal that can sit in water for quite some time. I recommend an elixir infused for 6 hours under the light of the Moon, and the spray can be utilized both internally and externally. It pairs well with an affirmation, such as, “I am safely and presently caring and nurturing.”

Shungite

This is an immensely useful stone for protection. It is said to protect against toxins and bacteria. Shungite is also well-loved for its benefit of EMF shielding and even warding off fatigue.

Shungite is used in water treatment, but there seems to be some debate about the safety of this stone in water for internal consumption. A crystal spray used externally is the perfect alternative to make use of all the energetic benefits of this crystal.

A short 10-minute infusion of Shungite into pure spring water will work well to create a crystal elixir that can be used as a skin, body, and aura spray, or to spray your home and workspaces. 

You can repeat the affirmation, “I am actively protected by the powerful energetic crystalline shielding of Shungite.” This is good spray to use before and after long periods of screen time for EMF protection and clearing.

Pyrite

Pyrite, also known as Fool’s Gold, can be used to make a crystal spray to protect your prosperity. This is a stone of increased wealth and success, and it can help you to hold an energy where you wisely protect and care for your wealth gained. It is a stone that can help us to maintain our personal power.

Due to the physical and chemical nature of Pyrite, it is best infused into the water for your crystal spray through an indirect infusion method similar to the method used for the Tiger’s Eye protection spray.

Since this spray is made through indirect infusion, it can be enjoyed both internally or externally, as you desire. You can also use it in a diffuser to mist your business or home space. For extra effectiveness, pair Pyrite protection spray with the affirmation, “I experience a permanent state of abundance.”

Red Garnet

Garnets have been used since ancient times as a stone for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual protection. It is notable for protecting your vitality, protection on a journey, or protection for a particularly challenging activity or interaction.

Infuse this hard red crystal in pure spring water for 11 minutes in sunlight, and then transfer this water to your spray bottle. Garnet elixir can be used both internally and externally to fortify your energy.

A suggested protection affirmation to use with this crystal spray while you are making it and using it is “I am fully protected and embodying my most vital state of life force energy.”

Tips to Remember When Making Crystal Sprays

These are a few tips and reminders to consider while making and using your crystal sprays:

• Clean and cleanse your crystals accordingly before using them to make a crystal spray.
• Use only pure spring water for the crystal elixir infusions to be used as a crystal spray.
• Do not use salty, acid, or hot water that can damage your stones.
• Use an indirect infusion method for crystals that are not chemically or physically safe in water.
• Preferably use clean, clear, and colorless glassware when creating crystal spray elixirs and an amber or colored glass spray bottle for storage.
• Set your intention or use affirmations when making and using these crystal sprays. 
• You can additionally add protective herbs in the form of an essential oil or hydrosol. This can affect the shelf life of your spray but can have other added protective benefits and add some sensory scent. 
• If you want to combine two crystal energies in a single spray, infuse each stone into a separate bowl of water, according to their specific requirement and methods, and then remove the stones and combine the elixirs within your crystal spray blend.
• Crystal sprays can be added to your diffuser or sprayed from a spray bottle. 
• Assuming you use the safest infusion method and time period for your chosen crystal, many crystal protection sprays can be taken internally, just as a crystal elixir would.
