The 12 Healing Crystals for Cats

1. Amethyst

Properties: Promotes peace and calmness, relieves digestive issues, regulates hormones, improves immunity, boosts endocrine function

The beautiful amethyst is traditionally a purple crystal that represents the month of February. But that isn’t all it’s for! It has many properties that make it so fabulous for energy work.

If you have a particularly stressed cat on your hands, it can soothe their temperament. Also, it can improve blood circulation, creating better health overall for your furry pal. It can also help to soothe digestive troubles and even out hormonal issues.

If it seems like you’re trying to treat your cat’s unwavering anxiety with amethyst and it just seems to make it worse, you may want to discontinue use. In some, it can actually heighten the effects of anxiety, which is certainly not the aim.


2. Aventurine

Aventurine is a quartz-based stone that is terrific spiritually, physically, and emotionally. It can aid humans in many different fashions, but it can also be an amazing choice for feline healing, too.

This particular stone is notorious for improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and reducing skin issues. It can be an excellent option for kitties who have allergies—environmental or food-related.

Aventurine is multi-faceted, touting different color hues. It is often referred to as the stone of opportunity. It can help your cat in many different aspects of life, but it primarily manages energy levels and nervous system malfunctions.

Black tourmaline can help detoxify the body, improve circulation, or even provide slight pain relief in certain instances. These stone characteristics can help cats who are trying to recover from injury or illness.

Plus, like many black stones, this crystal aids in protection. So, if you think your kitty could use an extra layer of warmth around them, a black tourmaline crystal could provide some spiritual conservation.
