Crystals Long Associated with Drive and Motivation

The short version: stones traditionally linked to drive and momentum — carnelian, tiger eye, citrine, pyrite, and red jasper. What each one is, and the tradition behind it.

Carnelian — iron-colored orange chalcedony; the classic stone of boldness, worn by orators and traders in the ancient world. Shop carnelian

Tiger eye — golden chatoyant quartz; long associated with courage and steady focus. Shop tiger eye

Citrine — golden quartz; the sunny, optimistic stone for a workspace. Shop citrine

Pyrite — brassy iron sulfide, “fool’s gold”; kept on a desk for its bright, get-it-done shine. Shop pyrite

Red jasper — a deep-red iron-rich chalcedony, traditionally a grounding, steadying stone. Shop tumbled stones
