Five Elements
Five Elements and Crystals: Stones, Colors, and Symbolism
Pairing crystals with the five elements is a popular folk habit — green stones for Wood, red for Fire, and so on — enjoyed as symbolism, not science.
DEFINITION
What is element-crystal pairing? Associating gemstones and crystals with Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water by color and quality, as a traditional accent.
Match by color
Green stones speak of Wood, red and orange of Fire, brown and yellow of Earth, white and metallic of Metal, and dark blue or clear of Water.
Wear it or place it
Some people wear a matching stone, others place one on a desk or shelf as a gentle daily reminder of balance.
Keep it light
The meaning is symbolic; enjoy the stones you like, whatever your element.
