Amethyst and lapis lazuli are the most recommended stones for the third eye chakra. Labradorite is the best choice if you also want protection during spiritual work.

How do I combine spiritual stones with dowsing?
Hold a spiritual stone in your non-dominant hand while dowsing with your dominant hand. The stone strengthens your intuitive connection. Read more in our dowsing guide.
