Whether you have an amazing bond with your mom (or a not-so-great one) you're sure to have a maternal figure that has graced you with the nurturing energy we associate with motherhood. Many mothers express that being a mom is the greatest position they've taken on (despite being underpaid & the potential tolls on their mental + physical health). Nonetheless, women from all walks of life have taken on the responsibility in the best way they know how. That can mean coddling a child to the point of disdain or losing a bond due to being unable to pull her own emotions & surrounding responsibilities together.
To truly empathize with the experience, you'd have to LIVE it; and since we can't always understand what we haven't endured, the next best thing we can offer is SUPPORT. If the mother in your life is redefining her life & needs, there's a gemstone for that. If she's become jaded in her POV & you're wanting to bring positivity into her world, there's one for that too. If your relationship with your mother is estranged, and it's hard to fathom the thought of reconciling at times ... you guessed it. There's a crystal to approach that as well. Here's a brief list of natural gemstones gifts for mom that will benefit her well beyond the holiday.
“Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.”
The gift majority of us desire most & are the most afraid to admit is the presence of another presence or support.
There are 3 essential ways crystals manage to transform your energy field and bring balance to your life including clearing & energizing. Since crystals and stones absorb, repel + transmit energy, wearing healing crystals helps transform & regulate your energy field throughout the day. Think of the crystals you wear like taking a vitamin. Below is a list of 10 great natural gemstones for women to better connect with their intuition, heighten their universal protection, or welcome more abundance in their lives.

• For the mom who's had it tough, has become meek in efforts not to offend, & those deserving of new beginnings (which is everyone willing to work for one BTW..)
Hematite ✧
used for grounding + protection. It dissolves negativity while bringing in a sense of peace & harmony. Hematite can be used to support our introverted friends or overall shy individuals by boosting confidence & self-esteem. Hematite stimulates concentration to help you figure out problems of all sorts; and removes self-limitations that have caused a delay in your life.
Moonstone ✧
Most adored for stabilizing & calming emotional triggers. Allows you to reflect & be mindful of the cycles of change. Excellent for PMS, conception, pregnancy, childbirth & breastfeeding due to its direct connection to the feminine principle. The moon is connected to the zodiac sign of Cancer & the universal mother so this is truly great for anyone wanting to connect with that energy.
• For the boss mama who's always striving for the next goal, tackling workplace politics, or setting someone straight...
Red Jasper ✧
A “supreme nurturer” that sustains & supports you during times of stress. The energy given off from this natural gemstone calms your emotions, welcoming insight into difficult situations. It supports you during conflicts by giving you the courage to deal with problems assertively. In this era of me too, most of us can benefit from standing up for ourselves in the face of adversity.
• For the mom who's getting back to herself, cultivating happiness in her life, or who's been in need of a pick me up of the self-care kind
This stone is an excellent protector against radiation and helps merge + balance feminine and masculine energies within you. The wrong parts of the internet will have you under the misconception that we are supposed to follow a mold of femininity as women & there's much more to us than that. Allow yourself to properly harness both energies with this beautiful blue stone while aiding the heart and throat chakras.
A lack of intuition is not something typically associated with women, let alone mothers but we all can use a boost in instinct. Labradorite ✧ raises your consciousness & is all about intuition and self-discovery.
Peridot ✧
brings good fortune and allows you to surrender and receive your desires from the Universe. It is highly associated with youth & beauty leaving the wearer more vibrant in energy as well as the physical aspect.
Often used to boost memory, Selenite ✧ is known to help you access your inner goddess and communicate more clearly with your highest self. It stabilizes erratic emotions, clearing away confusion, feelings of inadequacy, & other forms of negativity. Selenite ushers in clarity to grasp what is superficial and what is going on at a deeper level. For those in need of a "pep in their step", it also helps aligns the spinal column and promotes flexibility.
• For the mom who's in need of a mental reset or just deserves the reminder that your mindset can turn a negative into a positive
The vibration of Black Tourmaline ✧ helps you to let go of negativity and self-doubt, as well as helps tackle anxiety. This stone does not absorb negativity but alters (or transmutes it) into positive energy. An additional benefit is its ability to strengthen the immune system and assist in the pain relief of muscular issues.
Honorable Mentions*
Rose Quartz ✧ This love magnet, attracts unconditional love & infinite peace. Its calming energy is ideal for anyone who suffers from anxiety + it helps calm you in crisis-like situations. Also revered for restoring trust & harmony in relationships which many of us need if we have estranged relationships with our loved ones. By gently drawing off negative energy & replacing it with the vibration of love, it helps you tap into necessary change to make your life feel more fulfilled.
Amethyst ✧ is a popular stone for stability and inner peace which also improves your intuition. It can help you sleep better, soothe headaches and alleviate the pain of menstrual cramps.
Hopefully, you've found an option that best suits the mama in your life (or you). Just a heads up, remember to clear any crystals you purchase to be sure it isn't holding any stagnant energy & program them to YOUR highest intent. Here at Mine Full, our stones are charged + cleansed prior to being shipped or sold but we encourage our supporters to do so as well when the time is right. One of the easiest ways to do this is to simply speak positive affirmations aloud while holding the crystals.
A good example is this:
“I ask that the highest vibration of love (God/the divine/the universe) connect with my highest self to clear all unwanted energy or any previous programming. I command this crystal to hold the intention of . . .”
Finish up with a few intentions for your crystal—energies that you wish it to hold for you. As with most things ending by expressing gratitude, (especially in multiples) allows you to resonate with the energy you seek to be in by emphasizing that what you’re asking for ALREADY EXISTS in the universe.
