Crystal rollers have been around for centuries, but only recently have millennial’s incorporated them into their skincare routines. As you may already know, these holistic tools can help our skincare products work more effectively, decrease the appearance of fine lines / wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. If you own one, you probably have a jade roller or rose quartz roller. These two crystal rollers have been made famous by skincare gurus all over social medial – especially Instagram.
More than Jade, More than Rose Quartz
Few of us know there are other crystals with a variety of benefits – not just for your skin. Each crystal offers different energy and physiological powers as well as skincare abilities, such as the black obsidian crystal. Aside from jade, rose quartz and black obsidian face rollers, there are:
- Amethyst
- Clear Quartz
- Green Aventurine (very similar to the jade roller)
- Blue Aventurine
- Red Jasper
Amethyst Stone
Amethyst crystals are rare, but very popular. Of the crystal facial rollers, amethyst may be among the most expensive. This deep purple crystal comes with many benefits, but a few most noted include:

One study used amethyst crystals under pillows of one subject group and placebos under the pillows of a second subject group. It was reported that the first subject group felt an overall satisfaction about life.
Clear Quartz
The clear quartz is thought to be the supreme gift of Mother Earth as it enhances connections with earthly element. Much like the amethyst, a clear quartz crystal roller comes with a variety of benefits, including (but certainly not limited to):

Blue Aventurine
This stone combines the elements of wind and water, and comes with a few interesting benefits. Not only does it enhance self-discipline and inner strength, it allows us to think clearer and make more rational decisions. In other words, a blue aventurine crystal roller can help you “mature” and “grow up”quicker. Yet, it’s also a stone that encourages the adventurous spirit inside us.
Red Jasper
The red jasper is known to encourage wisdom, at any age, and helps you stay grounded. This is the case for most jasper crystals, no matter what its color or specific benefits. As for the red jasper, it provides strength, energy and endurance. The main energy force of the jasper crystal is adrenaline.
