Crystals and Their Connection to Hollywood: 7 Celebrities Who Love Crystals
1.The Rise of Crystal Popularity
It is no secret that many of the universally loved Hollywood celebrities have turned the ordinary person’s attention toward crystals and their healing properties. Over the past few decades, the practices of the so-called New Age movement have gained traction, influencing everything from wellness routines to skincare innovations like those offered by ANAS Crystal Care. But what exactly is the New Age movement, and why have crystals become such an integral part of modern self-care?
2.The New Age Movement: A Modern Spiritual Awakening
New age is not a religion but perhaps a group of people who share similar world views (Scott, 2014). It is generally focused on personal and spiritual transformation with a focus on harmony and spiritual enlightenment. Since there is no formal organization and most “religious” rituals occur privately, New Age practices vary widely from individual to individual. However, New Age customs can be broken down into two categories: occult practices and humanistic practices (Scott, 2014).
2.1. Occult Practices: Connecting with the Spiritual Realm
Occult practices involve contacting the spirit world and accessing the spiritual dimension, often through altered consciousness (Melton & Gordon, 2000). This includes channeling, crystal work, tarot card reading, astrology, and various forms of spiritual healing.
2.2. Humanistic Practices: Self-Discovery and Inner Growth
Humanistic practices are those focused on self-sufficiency, self-improvement, and the development of the god-element within the self (Melton & Gordon, 2000). Some examples are yoga, meditation strategies, studying New Age texts, creating a positive environment, and communicating with nature. Many New Age groups believe in alternative scientific systems and natural or spiritual healing practices. Alternative medical practices like acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, natural foods, and herbal remedies are common (Melton & Gordon, 2000).
3.Celebrities and Their Favorite Crystals
Crystals as already mentioned have become a staple in the lives of many celebrities, who not only wear them as accessories but also attribute certain benefits to their presence. From enhancing performances to promoting emotional well-being, different stars swear by different stones, believing in their energy and healing properties.
3.1. Adele – Carnelian for Confidence
The world-renowned singer Adele has openly spoken about using crystals to combat stage fright. She specifically credits carnelian, a stone believed to boost confidence and courage, for helping her overcome anxiety before performances. Known as a stone of motivation, carnelians are said to enhance creativity and promote self-assurance, making it a fitting choice for a performer who captivates audiences worldwide.
Fun fact: Adele claims that the worst performance of her life, which was overcomplicated by technical difficulties, was the 2016 Grammies when she left her crystals behind.
3.2. Yolanda Hadid – Various Crystals for Healing
Reality star and former model Yolanda Hadid has been vocal about her battle with Lyme disease and how she incorporates crystals into her healing journey. She has often been seen with an assortment of healing stones, including clear quartz, known as the "master healer," and amethyst, which is believed to promote tranquility and inner peace. Hadid credits these crystals with providing emotional support and balance throughout her health struggles.
3.3. Mona & Huda Kattan – Rose Quartz for Love and Positivity
Beauty moguls Mona and Huda Kattan are strong advocates of crystal energy, particularly rose quartz, which is known as the stone of love. The sisters use this crystal to promote self-love, maintain positive energy, and enhance relationships. Huda Kattan has even been inspired by rose quartz in her beauty line, creating products like the Rose Quartz Eyeshadow Palette.
3.4. Kim Kardashian – Clear Quartz for Balance
After a traumatic 2016 Paris robbery, Kim Kardashian turned to crystals for emotional healing and protection. Struggling with anxiety, she found comfort in rose quartz and clear quartz, using them to restore balance and security. Her belief in their power later inspired her fragrance line, featuring scents infused with crystal energy. For Kardashian, crystals became a symbol of resilience, self-care, and recovery, further popularizing them in mainstream culture.
3.5. Victoria Beckham – Black Tourmaline for Protection
Fashion designer and former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, is known for her spiritual beliefs, including her use of crystals for protection and grounding. She frequently carries black tourmaline, a stone believed to ward off negative energy and provide a sense of security. Beckham has mentioned keeping black tourmaline backstage at fashion shows and in her office to ensure a peaceful and protected environment.
3.6. Jennifer Aniston – Quartz for Connection and Healing
Actress Jennifer Aniston has been seen wearing clear quartz, which she reportedly uses to maintain a connection with her late father, actor John Aniston. She shares that before his funeral, Aniston apparently grabbed a crystal that she’d had for years and placed it in his pocket while she was standing near his coffin. When she returned home, part of the crystal was still on her dresser — she hadn’t even realized it was broken.
Notably, Aniston frequently wears a Moonstone necklace, a gem known for its associations with new beginnings and inner strength. Moonstone's calming properties align with Aniston's desire to find balance and release emotional burdens, further emphasizing her deep affinity for crystals and their transformative influence in her life.
4. The Enduring Allure of Crystals
The fascination with crystals is more than just a passing celebrity trend—it reflects a deeper cultural shift toward spirituality, self-care, and holistic healing. While skeptics may dismiss their powers as mere superstition, for many, crystals serve as personal talismans, offering comfort, motivation, and a sense of connection to something greater.
Celebrities have played a significant role in bringing crystal healing into the mainstream, but their popularity extends far beyond Hollywood. Whether used for protection, emotional balance, or inspiration, crystals continue to captivate people across the world, bridging ancient traditions with modern wellness practices.
