Bottom line up front: The top trio for anxiety is Amethyst (immediate mental calm), Lepidolite (deep emotional balance through its natural lithium content) and Rose Quartz (gentleness and self-compassion). Together, these three stones address the mental, emotional and relational dimensions of anxiety.
