Citrine is an excellent choice for Lions who wish to turn their creative passions into service to others in the world. Along the way on the journey, Citrine can also boost the creativity and charisma that makes Leo so endearing and charming to others!

SUNSTONE

The Zodiac sign of Leo is ruled by the Sun as a Fixed Fire sign, so naturally the namesake of the Sun finds its way to being on our list. The alluring Sunstone can help to manifest the more positive expressions of the element of Fire. These expressions are bravery, courage, positive and dynamic leadership that is for the people, and not as an attempt to control for self-gain. Leos can use the Sunstone as a trusted ally if they wish to become the best leader they can be. This crystal can help Leo to learn patience as well as tolerance of other forms of being. Along the way, this crystal can lend self-empowerment, joy while alleviating feelings of anger or fear.

HEMATITE

This magnetic mineral is one of the most profound tools for grounding and metaphysical protection in the natural world. From the Greek word that means “blood,” this crystal is derived from rust-colored Iron, which is one of the central molecules in human blood. The sign of Leo is linked with the heart which of course has quite the relationship with heme and blood. Hematite is strongly grounding and can help remind you to stay in your lane! For Leos, this choice of mineral can help prevent conflicts from the heart, such as jealousy or overreaching boundaries. For a Fixed Fire sign like Leo, the calming and cooling affectation of Hematite can be the difference between instigating a conflict or keeping your cool.
