I posted this in the gemstone section, as well as the chakra section. I was wondering what the best gemstone would be for healing or helping with root chakra dysfunction?

Any help with this would be wonderful!

Thanks and blessings!

hi there, i used to work with crystals and i would like to recommend red garnet.

get 5mm beads and string them up and wear as a belt. wear during the day and cleanse them daily with water.

cheerio,

Garnet, Red Jasper, Hematite, Pyrite,  all work well to get the root chakra functioning.

Rather than a belt I would go for an anklet too ;)

I never thought of an anklet. that would be wonderful for grounding. thank you both so much!
