Short answer: In vastu, each direction rules an area of life, so the crystal goes where its job is. North is for money (green aventurine, pyrite, citrine), north-east for peace and prayer (clear quartz, amethyst), south-east for cash flow (carnelian, citrine), south-west for relationships (pairs of rose quartz), and the main door for protection (black tourmaline).

Where to keep a crystal tree
- Money tree (citrine, pyrite or green aventurine): north or south-east of the living room or office.
- Rose quartz tree: south-west of the bedroom.
- Amethyst or seven chakra tree: north-east or the meditation area.
Shop crystal trees.
Where to keep a crystal pyramid
A clear quartz or crystal pyramid is usually kept in the north-east or the centre of the home to spread positive energy. A pyrite pyramid works best on the north side of a desk or cash counter.
Vastu crystals for the office and shop
- Pyrite or a money tree on the north side of your desk or near the cash box.
- Black tourmaline at the shop entrance.
- Clear quartz on the desk for focus.
- Tiger eye if you deal with clients and negotiations.
Common mistakes
- Keeping energizing stones like pyrite or carnelian in the bedroom.
- Putting a single rose quartz alone in the south-west; use pairs.
- Letting crystals gather dust. Cleanse them monthly; see our cleansing guide.
- Keeping broken or chipped pieces on display. Read what a broken crystal means.
