I have compiled this list to provide a quick reference guide on the dual nature of some of the most popular gemstones and crystals. Each entry offers insights into their positive and negative magickal properties, revealing how these mystical stones can be used to enhance well-being, protection, and spiritual growth, or in more shadowy practices like hexes and curses. Whether you're seeking to attract love, prosperity, and protection, or exploring the depths of shadow work and defensive magick, or even looking into black magick practices such as hexing, this list serves as a valuable resource for understanding the versatile energies these stones can offer.
