what stones keep toxic energy away?

[LeonSilver]

I've been carrying tiger's eye on my keys and wearing a black tourmaline necklace, and I like the feel of both. I usually cleanse them with water and leave them in the sun for a few hours. Lately though, I've been wondering if there's another stone that's good specifically for protection... not just from "bad vibes," but from toxic people in general. I'm not hung up on the zodiac part (I'm Virgo, if that matters), just curious what others here use for everyday protection. Is there a stone you swear by for keeping negativity at bay?

I used to carry tiger's eye and black tourmaline when I worked a retail job with lots of heavy energy. What helped me most was obsidian. It's really good at blocking bad energy, especially from people who wear you down. I keep a small piece in my pocket, and it's like a quiet shield.

Black tourmaline is already one of the strongest for that, but there's also opinions on labradorite or obsidian for shielding against draining people. Amethyst is another good everyday one too since it’s both protective and calming

I began using crystals last year after working long hours at a busy cafe. I really like grounding stones now. Do you notice anything different between black obsidian and snowflake or mahogany ones? and how do you make yours feel strong again? Sunlight, moonlight or something else?

Thanks for sharing this! been carrying a small piece of black tourmaline since my friend gave it to me during a tough time. Heard mixed things about labradorite though. Do you find it works better in social settings or more for personal energy?
