Stone first, then symbol. Many of our amulets combine a stone with a sacred symbol: the Eye of Horus, the witch's knot, Metatron's cube, a star. The symbol carries its own tradition of protection.

Wear it close. In crystal lore a protection stone is worn against the skin or near the heart. Choose a length that lets the pendant sit where you like it.

For sensitive people. If you feel everything around you, read crystals for empaths, our guide written for highly sensitive people. For the home, many pair a pendant with an amethyst orgonite pyramid on the nightstand.
