Best gemstone for healing root chakra?

[forbidforgot]

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 ;)

[forbidforgot]

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

It has associated color of red, thus its corresponding crystals are red garnet, ruby, red jasper, carnelian, rhodochrosite, etc. Bloodstone is included due to its red spots while black hematite is also included because it has a red color streak.
