Crystals and your solar plexus chakra
- Citrine – This stone is known as the money stone. It is believed to elevate optimism and energy, bringing you to a place of opportunity, prosperity, and abundance. Citrine is known to work with the solar plexus chakra. A rather unique stone because it doesn?t absorb the negative energy, it clears it — creating happiness and light in your space. This stone will rid yourself of fear and self-doubt so you can take on challenges with a sense of optimism.
- Amber— Although technically not a crystal, Amber is one of the best minerals to use for the Solar Plexus. Its powers of purification easily help physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages in this chakra, and the feelings of warmth it gives off support a positive mental attitude.

Attract an abundance of good luck and positivity in love, business or your personal life by connecting to the pyrite stone properties.
