Flowering Plants and Gemstones: Matching Crystal Vibrations with the Plant Kingdom
by Margaret Ann Lembo
Do you like crystals? Are you attracted to flowering plants and the natural world? You and all life have a spiritual connection, including the gemstone and plant kingdoms. There are teachings and inspiration everywhere.
As an avid gardener, I’ve gotten to know my plant friends. Every plant has energy, and every energy has a matching vibration in the gemstone kingdom. By teaming up flowers or plants with crystals, minerals, and stones, you have the opportunity to
- Understand life better
- Develop a stronger connection with all life
- Amplify the benefits of working with crystals
- Recognize vibrational patterns in the plant kingdom
- Use the vibrations of plants and gemstones to improve your life and spiritual connections.
Flowering Plants with their Matching Crystal
Living in the tropics, Zone 10b, in South Florida, I enjoy plants that thrive in this humid, sunny climate. Bananas, cosmos, coriander, cranberry hibiscus, ginger, mangoes, pineapple, aloe, papayas, sunflowers, and tomatoes grow in my garden, with many more amazing flowering plants and trees. Frangipani and ylang-ylang are fragrant flowering trees that perfume my land. It creates a magical feeling and experience to walk into my yard and up to my front door. As an aromatherapist, it appeals to my senses to have my outdoor world naturally fragranced by the world around my home.
As a crystal aficionado, I’ve developed a personal connection to the plants in my garden and the crystals I work with. I’ve come to realize that plants’ vibrations pair well with specific crystals to amplify the benefits of both – on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level. Everything has energy, and all energy vibrates. Certain vibrations resonate to profoundly improve the experience of the qualities of the plant and the gemstone. This personal connection has deepened my understanding and appreciation of the spiritual connection between plants and crystals.
A Few Examples
Banana and Thulite
The banana tree produces a teardrop-shaped purple-red flower at the end of the banana cluster. It’s also called the banana heart. The banana has a high potassium content, and so does the gemstone Thulite. Thulite is a heart chakra stone. Thulite is a crystalline or massive pink manganese-bearing variety of the mineral zoisite. The combination of calcium, magnesium, and zinc-aluminum allows for various elements, such as manganese, titanium, sodium oxide, and potassium oxide, which give rise to thulite’s pink coloration. When you eat or see a banana, bring your thoughts to a heart-centered focus. Do the same with Thulite in hand. Focus on love and kindness with this duo.
Sunflower and Citrine
Other potassium-rich treasures from the earth are sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds create the most amazing flower. Sunflowers are uplifting and bring a smile when you pause to gaze at them. They represent joy and well-being. It has much to do with the color – yellow; it uplifts and builds confidence. Yellow is the color of the solar plexus. Their vibration is also uplifting because they are heliotropic. They track the sun throughout the day (until they mature – then they face east), which resonates with looking up and allowing the light to shine on you and your world. Citrine, the yellow-colored quartz, is a perfect gemstone to match with the sunflower. Citrine is a solar-plexus stone. Good for mental clarity, citrine reminds you that whatever you ardently believe, desire, and work passionately toward will manifest.
Use both vibrational pairs, Banana and Thulite and Sunflower and Citrine, to acknowledge your magnificence and shortcomings. Then, focus on what you do well to increase your self-esteem. Trust that it is safe to be powerful in a loving way. Shine your light to reach your full potential!
Think good thoughts like:
I am confident and courageous.
I shine my light brightly.
Goodness multiplies.
Whatever I desire, imagine, and passionately act upon becomes a reality.
