Quick Answer: Chakra crystal lists pair each of seven chakras with a stone, usually by color. In the non-commercial source checked, Geology.com, red jasper goes with the root chakra and the green form of aventurine with the heart chakra. Amazonite, howlite, onyx and chrysocolla are not on its list. The chakra idea is old, but the color-and-stone scheme is modern, and no authority sets the matches. These are beliefs, not medical facts.
Chakra crystal charts are popular and often confusing, because they mix an old Indian idea with a recent color system. This guide keeps to the mapping: what a chakra is, which stone a source pairs with which chakra, and where the stones in Akitai's charm bracelets fall. It is a belief-based guide, not a health one. For the wider picture on stones, see Akitai's crystal meanings guide.
From Hindu and Buddhist tantric yoga and meditation practices. Wikipedia's chakra entry (checked October 2026) says a chakra is a meditation aid in the form of a psychospiritual center in the subtle body, that medieval Buddhist texts from the 8th century mention four or five, and that Hindu sources give various numbers. It adds that Buddhist esoteric traditions generally teach four chakras.
A six-plus-one system, the most prevalent in Hindu esoteric traditions, first appears, the entry says, in an 11th-century Kaula work, and it was translated in the early 20th century in a book called The Serpent Power. The entry also says the modern Western view dates from the 1880s, and that rainbow colors and links to gemstones were added later. Of the colors, it says simply: "The colours are modern." So the chakra idea is old, and the color-and-stone scheme is not.
Different lists answer differently. Geology.com, which is written by a PhD and GIA graduate gemologist, gives one list of commonly used chakra stones. The Sanskrit names follow Wikipedia's seven-chakra schema, from bottom to top.
| Chakra | Stone in Geology.com's list |
|---|---|
| Root (Muladhara) | Red jasper |
| Sacral (Svadhisthana) | Carnelian |
| Solar plexus (Manipura) | Citrine |
| Heart (Anahata) | Aventurine, green form |
| Throat (Vishuddhi) | Blue lace agate |
| Brow (Ajna) | Sodalite |
| Crown (Sahasrara) | Amethyst |
Geology.com also says chakras are "spiritual centers" of the body, that people place stones on them, and that medical experts consider the benefits a result of the placebo effect.
Only two of the six appear in that list. Jasper appears as red jasper for the root chakra, and aventurine appears as its green form for the heart chakra. The match is not direct for Akitai's bracelets. The jasper and chrysocolla bracelet photo shows tan, brown and blue beads, not red, and the aventurine bracelet photo shows a mix of red, orange, yellow, light blue and teal beads, so this guide assigns neither bracelet to a chakra.
Amazonite, howlite, onyx and chrysocolla are not on Geology.com's list, and the other non-commercial sources checked give them no chakra. This guide does not fill the gap. No authority sets the matches, and a chart that gives every stone a chakra is one reading among several.
Because the stone links were added to the chakra idea recently and by different writers. Wikipedia's crystal healing entry says practitioners select stones by color or by their believed metaphysical qualities, and that lists of such links are published in commonly distributed texts. A list built on color will pair a stone with a chakra for its hue, and a list built on qualities may pair it differently. With no standard, two charts can disagree and neither is wrong by any outside measure.
No. These are traditional and popular beliefs, not medical facts. A stone is not a treatment for any condition. WebMD says there is no good scientific evidence for crystal therapy uses, and Wikipedia's crystal healing entry says there is no scientific basis for the concept of chakras, which it describes as religious or spiritual in nature.
Akitai's amazonite and howlite, jasper and chrysocolla, onyx and aventurine charm bracelets are named for these stones. Since Akitai is the brand behind this site, they are our own products. See the whole charm bracelet collection.
Geology.com lists red jasper for the root chakra. It names no chakra for other jaspers.

The non-commercial sources checked give neither a chakra. No authority sets the match.
