5 Gemstones to Wear on Halloween

With Halloween right around the corner, you might be wondering which gemstones to wear with your costumes! Well, we’ve done our research and we think there are 5 gemstones that you should consider wearing at this time of the year. Let’s explore them together.

Before we jump into our top 5 gemstones for Halloween, let’s do a little bit of time travelling. Let’s go into the past to see if we can cultivate an understanding of the historical significance of this time of year and how it might affect the jewels we wear.

During the month of October there is a lot going on! Not only do we have Halloween events, and for some Thanksgiving, but we also are experiencing the thinning of the veil. What is the thinning of the veil you ask? October, historically, marks a time where the veil between the spiritual realms is thin which meanings spirits and ghosts can be seen and felt more frequently on earth. Halloween actually stems from the Celtic fire festival known as ‘Samhain’ (Soww-win) which celebrates this thinning veil as well as the harvest season.

So as we become more social with friends and family, and with the neighbourhood ghost, the theme of energetic and spiritual protection is strong. In our research, we found that most gemstones associated with Halloween and/or Samhain offer a level of protection which brings people comfort as the moon begins to reign over the sun and night falls over us. So it turns out Halloween is more than just bats and vampires, it has an impactful meaning!

When you are wearing a gemstone and wanting to employ its metaphysical characteristics, it’s important to set an intention. Intention directs energy and when you pair an intention with a gem, it will put the gem to work! We recommend holding your gemstone and thinking about your intention; then, when you put your jewels on think about that intention too.

Here are our top 5 gemstones to pair with Halloween:

1. Black Onyx

Black onyx is the ultimate stone of spiritual and energetic protection - so it covers all your Halloween and Samhain bases. Wearing black onyx can invoke your strength and perseverance to get through any event or emotion that you may experience during this time. It can also absorb low frequencies meaning it can absorb negative energy, which means it can act as a shield to protecting your own energy.

2. Moonstone

Moonstone is one of the more obvious gemstones that doesn’t need a lot of explaining, but let’s dive into it anyway! Moonstone embodies the magic of the moon and it’s corresponding element of water. It connects us to the mystery of the night, our intuition and the wisdom of the divine feminine. Because of it’s connection to the moon, and the moon is overtaking the sun during October, it’s a great Halloween stone. Plus, a new moon or a full moon might land on Halloween which makes it an even better time to wear moonstone.

In 2024, a new moon lands on Halloween!

3. Labradorite

Labradorite has a little secret - it is the stone of things unseen. When wearing labradorite, it can enhance our senses and help us to tune into our intuition and the spirit realms, which are palpable during Halloween. As well, labradorite is a beautiful stone that can ease unsettling feelings and nerves, which can definitely arise during a season of social activity.

 
4. Black Tourmaline

Black tourmaline is traditionally used to ward off negativity, unwanted interactions and psychic attacks. Additionally, it provides a solution to these things by also being a stone of purification. Wearing black tourmaline can not only bring you comfort knowing that you are spiritually and energetically protected, but it also cleanses energy too.

5. Strawberry Quartz

Strawberry quartz is a stone with many characteristics, so it’s a bit of a Jill of all trades if you will. And, luckily, we just added our first strawberry quartz gemstone to our collections! This stone can not only uplift moods, reduce tension and worries but it also can increase passion and joy. The reason we love strawberry quartz for Halloween is because it reminds us that everything can exist at the same time and that it’s safe to feel all our feelings! Strawberry quartz gives us permission to embrace all the highs and lows of October!
