Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins or cardinal sins (listed as envy). It is defined as  a “feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages or feeling or showing suspicion of someone’s unfaithfulness in a relationship.” I think it is safe to say at some point in our life we have all experienced jealousy. Whether it was a friend getting to do something you wanted to do, a partner receiving attention from someone else, jealousy is a horribly negative emotion that most times we are unable to keep ourselves from feeling. It tends to come on like a storm and rage around in our head and hearts, leaving a ton of negative emotional remnants behind. If you are finding that you are having issues controlling your jealousy, you can use crystals that can actually aid you in overcoming your jealousy rather than just pushing it aside.

As spring continues to warm the earth’s crust, a frenzy of growth converts barren landscapes into lush glades, and the leaves of plants and trees emerge in a thousand shades of green. Like their counterparts in the plant kingdom, the green gems and minerals are the growth crystals. They are powerful conduits of the earth’s Life Force of birth, development, and creation, and of the power of nature’s constant renewal. Crystals of pure green are potent aids in nurturing, whether of fledgling family relationships or new business ventures. They are the symbols of new life in all its manifestations. Use them to encourage growth and development.

Jealousy is a very negative emotion, but one that most of us have felt. It is a very random emotion in the sense that we cannot seem to control it. We may feel jealous over a friend getting to do something we wanted to do or jealous over attention our partner may be receiving from someone else. Either way, jealousy is such a negative emotion that it can often consume us and bring more negativity in our lives. If you find that you are preoccupied with jealousy and need to overcome it, crystals can help. We suggest using light green colored crystals such as Green Apatite and Green Aventurine. You can also try crystals other authors have recommended such as Peridot and Chrysoprase.
