Crystals for Every Kind of Love

Love isn't one-size-fits-all. Just like there are many types of love, there are many crystals that can help you cultivate the kind of love you’re seeking ~ whether it's deeper self-acceptance, a passionate romance, stronger friendships, or unconditional compassion.

Each type of love is beautiful in its own way, and crystals can gently support your heart as you experience them all.

How Many Types of Love Are There?

Ancient philosophers, especially the Greeks, outlined several different types of love to capture the full range of human connection. Some of the most common types include:

Self-love is the foundation for everything else. It's how you treat yourself with kindness, acceptance, and patience — even on the hard days.

Mangano Calcite ~ A soft pink crystal that nurtures emotional healing and creates a sense of inner safety.
