When it comes to crystals for warding off evil, which one comes to mind first? Obsidian, Black Rutilated Quartz, Tektite, and Black Tourmaline are the most popular choices. What are their differences in terms of effectiveness, and which one is the best fit for you?

Best Value: Obsidian

Obsidian is known for its rainbow sheen and is quite abundant, making it relatively inexpensive. For general protection, Obsidian offers great value. However, keep in mind that it needs frequent cleansing to remove the negative energy it absorbs. Due to its affordability, some ritual practitioners discard their Obsidian after each ceremony and get a new one for the next.

Powerful Protection: Black Rutilated Quartz

Black Rutilated Quartz corresponds to the root chakra, strengthening the kidneys, absorbing illness, aiding sleep, and making actions more concrete. Its energy is stronger than Obsidian and thus more expensive. Black Rutilated Quartz not only creates a protective energy field but also pushes negative energy and evil spirits away.

The quality and energy of Black Rutilated Quartz are assessed based on the amount of rutile and the clarity of the crystal. More rutile strands mean stronger energy. Like Obsidian, it also requires regular cleansing to remove absorbed negative energy.

Most Powerful: Tektite

Tektite surpasses both Obsidian and Black Rutilated Quartz in terms of energy. It continuously emits powerful energy, creating a protective field stronger than that of Black Rutilated Quartz, repelling negative energy and evil spirits before they even approach. Because it doesn’t absorb negative energy, Tektite does not require cleansing.

Protection and Health: Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline might be less known among the black crystals. Historically seen as a crystal for fighting dark forces, it helps release hidden negative emotions and is particularly beneficial for bone health. Among black crystals, Black Tourmaline offers the greatest health benefits.

Which Should You Choose?

For general purposes, Obsidian’s effectiveness is sufficient for most people. If you want a crystal with health benefits, choose Black Tourmaline. If you frequently visit places with heavy negative energy, Black Rutilated Quartz is recommended. If you suspect encountering spirits or evil entities, Tektite offers the strongest protection.

How to Wear Them?

According to energy principles, left is for intake and right is for release. All black crystals should be worn on the right hand to expel negative energy. Tektite, being a meteorite, can be worn on either hand due to its continuous high-energy emission.

How to Cleanse?

Like other crystals, you can cleanse them with a White Crystal Cluster or Selenite.

Note: We do not recommend cleansing with saltwater or small stones. For details, refer to How to Cleanse and Purify Your Crystals.
