Ammonite promotes sleep by smoothing rough and toxic energy. This ancient fossil also supports relaxation, immunity, physical health, and energetic protection, and therapeutically restructures your aura (your personal energy field) while you sleep.
3. Angelite
Angelite is a sky blue crystal that supports creative problem solving during dreamtime. It helps you relax and release by aligning you with divine timing and reminding you that everything is perfectly unfolding. This soothes the mind and allows you to let go. Additionally, angelite attunes you to the angelic realm, facilitating a flow of angelic communication and guidance while you sleep.

Well, everyone responds to crystals differently, so you can try it both ways and see what works for you.
Hello! I am right now as we speak, trying (rather my hubby) is trying your list of crystals to help him sleep better. We have a wonderful crystal & other thing’s store in our little town, yaaay! So I went and purchased the appropriate crystal’s, brought them home, laid them on our bed, saged them & without touching them, I put them in a little pouch & put them under his pillow, I asked him the immediate next morning like I alway’s do, “how did you sleep?” great he said, he hasn’t said great since, but pretty good. So I do have a question, he’s know’s I bought the crystal’s specifically for him & his awful sleeping issue, but, because I know he won’t wear them on him to pick up his energy, I put the pouch of crystal’s on the inside on the underside of his pillow. (he doesn’t know this part) would they work even better if he were aware? P.S he already think’s I’m a little ‘out there’ in the most loving way, we’ve been married for 19 1/2 year’s, so I’m not sure how seriously he would take/treat it. I would appreciate any of your wisdom on this. Also my sweet neice has been diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer, I’m going to research your great site & see what crystal’s you may recommend, but any advice & what crystal(s) do you think would be helpful for her? Thankyou again, have a blessed day, Sharon
Sharon, I wouldn’t worry about leaving the crystals there without his knowledge. That will not affect his free will, it will simply change the vibration around him in a positive way. As for your niece, I suggest fluoroapatite: https://www.etsy.com/market/fluorapatite
These after if you have trouble sleeping it helps!
