Jet

Jet is a powerful, ancient stone of protection, purification, and grounding. Though often referred to as a crystal, Jet is actually a form of fossilised wood—a type of lignite coal—created under extreme pressure over millions of years. Its deep black colour and lightweight feel make it both physically unique and spiritually significant, especially in traditions involving mourning, psychic shielding, and energetic clearing.

Jet is primarily associated with the Root Chakra and offers grounding, safety and energetic stability. It is also on a secondary basis associated with the Earth Star Chakra offering deep spiritual anchoring and the release of karmic debris.

Physical benefits of Jet include supporting detoxification, helping remove toxins and energetic imbalances from the body. It has been traditionally used for migraines, joint pain, or inflammation (especially related to emotional stress) and is thought to be soothing to the adrenal system, and may ease energetic overstimulation. Jet is also worn during periods of mourning to support the body through emotional release.

Emotionally Jet also gives grief support and emotional release: Jet has long been associated with mourning and is incredibly supportive during loss, heartbreak, or trauma. It does help absorb overwhelming or chaotic emotions, helping create calm and emotional distance. It is known to protect against emotional draining and is especially useful for empaths as it shields them from absorbing other people’s emotional energy. Jet can also encourage self-control and stability, helping you centre your energy, regulate moods and counter impulsive reactions.

Spiritually Jet is a strong psychic protector, repelling negativity, curses, and unwanted energies. It purifies the Aura, clears attachments, thought forms, and energetic clutter from the auric field. It grounds spiritual energy and connects the spirit body firmly to the earth, allowing safe exploration of metaphysical work. Jet support mediumship and ancestorial work and is often used in spiritual communication and ancestral connection, especially during rites of passage or grief rituals. Some also use Jet to assist with past life work, helping to reveal and release karmic patterns or emotional residue carried from past lives.
