Crystals in the Workplace

     Crystals also help to enhance you working environment and to improve relations with you colleagues.  There are crystals to aid problem-solving, improve communication, and help you deal with your day-to-day experiences.

Enhancing the Working Environment

     All the stones that create a less stressful atmosphere such as Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Sugilite, Smoky Quartz, and Kunzite will enhance the environment of your workplace.  Place one on your desk or in a drawer, tape it under a table, or put it discreetly in a corner-crystals will work even when hidden behind a filing cabinet.  You can also wear one under your clothes or keep it in your pocket.  However, most people instinctively respond to the good vibes a crystal puts out, and, since they are highly decorative objects, a crystal in the workplace will most likely be admired.  It can also be useful to keep a small bowl of polished stones around-either for yourself or for other people to play with.  Their soothing properties will soon make themselves felt!
     If you are in a job where complaints or even abuse are possible, keep a Black Tourmaline close to you-you can tape one to your phone if necessary.  Jet and Sardonyx both turn away violence, and Rose Quartz and Sugilite bring in a more loving energy. 

Teamwork

     If you work as part of a team, Yellow Fluorite supports cooperation between members of that team, as does Emerald, while Tiger's Eye aids in reaching your goals.  A Smoky Quartz draws off any negative energies and Pink Chalcedony helps to resolve any conflict.  Other crystals that resolve conflict are Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, Rhodonite, and Sugilite.  If communication is a problem, especially where there is bickering or criticism, try placing Aquamarine or Dodalite in the room.  You could tape it under a table if you meet around one.  Sodalite is useful for changing attitudes.  If you find it difficult to express your ideas to your colleagues, wear a Sapphire.  If taking constructive criticism is difficult for you, a Citrine will allow you to be open to this.  Where compromise is needed, Serpentine facilitates it.

Redressing Missing Qualities

     Crystals can build in qualities that are necessary for your work.  Apatitie promotes a humanitarian attitude and service.  If enthusiasm for you fob is lacking, put a Carnelian in you pocket.  If you need to heighten your motivation, make that crystal a Topaz or wear Apatitie.  To develop your leadership skills, use Apatite or Ruby, to enhance self-expression use Kyanite.  Kyanite is also useful when you need a strong voice.  Fluorite aids concentration, and if you need a clear and focused mind, Selenite is the stone for you.
