The Secrets of the Synergy 12 Stones for Meditation & More
If you’re familiar with the work of Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian, you may have heard of the Synergy 12 crystals. These high-vibration stones are super-powerful, both individually and collectively, and working with them in thoughtful meditation can be quite a treat indeed!
The 12 Synergy Crystals are a collection of minerals, first described by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian in The Book of Stones. This group of high energy crystals are thought to will help activate the light body as well as to quickly enhance the process of spiritual growth.

The Synergy 12 Stones include:
- Petalite
- Moldavite
- Phenacite
- Danburite
- Azeztulite
- Brookite
- Satyaloka Quartz
- Scolecite
- Tanzanite
- Tibetan Tektite
- Herderite
- Natrolite
Some of the stones can be difficult to find due to their rarity (Phenacite, Brookite, Satyaloka Quartz, & Herderite), and one of them (Azeztulite) is trademarked, so it can be quite expensive. The rest of these stones are typically readily available in any specialty crystal shop.
To work with the Synergy 12 stones, try placing a grid of these 12 high-vibrational crystals in a circle around yourself during meditation.
This meditative environment can be a little bit intense, so a short meditation of about ten minutes is best until you become familiar with meditating in this type of environment. Alternatively, instead of trying the grid with all twelve stones around you, you may want to just take a few days meditating with one of the stones and then move onto the next stone, and then to the next, meditating with each for a few days until you have acclimated to the energy. After working your way through the 12 stones in individual meditations, you can create a circle of 12 stones around you for meditation (and prepare yourself for an amazing meditative experience!).
You can also use the Synergy 12 stones in a full-body crystal layout.
Experiment with placing the 12 stones on different chakra points throughout your energy field. You may want to stick with the 7 major chakras (doubling up the stones on some), or you may want to incorporate some of the minor chakras into your layout so that each energy center has its own stone. For example, you could place one stone on each of the seven major chakras, one stone in each hand, one stone below each foot, and one additional stone between and below the feet (at the Earth Star Chakra). You could also try this with one stone well above the head (at the Soul Star Chakra) instead of at the Earth Star Chakra.

Where do you place these twelve on the grid?
Hi Wendy! It’s totally up to you and you can place the 12 stones in whichever order around yourself that you feel most comfortable with <3 Let us know how it goes for you! Crystal blessings <3
Well, you can meditate for 5 or 10 minutes as you get use to them you can increase the time, placing them around your feet can be tricky since they are so small. I meditate with all of them using a small box.
Hi Ely! Thanks so much for reading and commenting- I like your idea of using a small box for the stones 🙂 Crystal blessings!
What are the effects if Moldavite crystal is lost from our possession
Hi Yogesh! We’re not completely sure what you mean… can you please clarify so we can help out? 🙂 Thanks!
Moldavite likes to play games and disappear sometimes, it always comes back
Hi Peggy! Yes, it can be a trickster, I’ve had that happen with a few crystals. 🙂
VERY interesting and helpful
So glad you liked it, George! We hope you’ll find lots more blogs & podcasts you enjoy here on our site. <3 Crystal blessings <3
Great information! Is there a stone you would recommend for the Star Chakra?
Hey Deborah! <3 Thanks so much for reading! Did you mean the Earth Star Chakra (below the root) or the Soul Star Chakra (above the crown)? For the Earth Star, we love brown crystals, and for the Soul Star, anything gold or clear <3 Let me know if there's anything else we can help with! Crystal blessings.
Thank you so much for this list of gems
Never heard of some of them but I will

A question I would like answer
Bought 3 moldavite pendant for myself and two other person .. none of us feels any vibration from the stone the stone seem real but vibrations mo
You’re welcome Ken! A good blog article I recommend for this is called ‘Help! I lost my Crystal Mojo! Why won’t my stones work anymore?’ 🙂 crystal blessings
Thank you for your article… ? I wear moldavite and tanzanite all the time. My engagement ring is tanzanite… ?
Oh, how wonderful! Crystal blessings
I got my moldivite right after my ex left me for the neibour across the street and it really does help with the transition and negatives I wore it for a few months and one night I had a dream I saw my peice of moldivite in the center of my vision and it cryed out to me saying it was scared I woke up to find it was gone from my neck lost I felt so sad I looked everywhere for him (it) I really felt lost and then a few weeks ago I’m thinking of him (it) and then as I’m rummaging around I forget what or where but I here a little “ting” hit the floor and I knew it was a stone or cystal I reach down and as soon as my fingers touched him my moldivite I just about cred my eyes water up and I kissed it I could feel and sense the love of the world and the whole universe flow back into me it really is a magical and magnificent stone and it continues to help me and guide me through this incarnation I love moldivite let it’s love help and guide you as it has for me LOVE LIFE my friends
Oh wow, this is so powerful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience 🙂 Crystal Blessings
Moldavite has such strong energy and has a real hold on me. Every time I so much as see or hear about the crystal I am driven to reach out to mine. When I bought my first piece, many years ago now, I looked into the beautiful textured green light and cried. I had such a feeling of homesickness. Feeling a longing and loss of… I don’t know where. I have always felt out of place in this world and Moldavite is like a companion that connects me in some way to my sense of ‘home’. It sounds nuts, I know, and I’ve only ever told a handful of people but I was compelled to share and sing praise to this beautiful energy and the blessings it is here to offer. Perhaps someone will be inspired to find their companion…xxx
It really does have strong and magnetic energy! I actually often hear of people having a very similar experience… it truly is an incredible crystal. <3 So magical! Thank you for sharing with us. 🙂 Crystal Blessings <3
A new client of mine sent me this article. I live in Italy and some of these stones are impossible to find. Could I meditate or work with pictures? The stones I have somewhere are Moldavite, Phenacite with Verdelite, Danburite and two different White Azeztulite (from Vermont and from North Carolina, I own from a lot). All small specimen but very powerful.
Representations of the stones, like photos, can definitely help anchor in the energies you’re wanting to work with. It won’t be quite the same as actually handling the crystals – but it is a great idea for channeling their energy & for organizing a nice, grounding meditative practice 🙂
Do the crystals need to be in rough form, or, will faceted stones work. I assume untreated gems are best for spiritual purposes?(Tanzanite is usually heated straight out of mine to bring out color, more challenging to find untreated crystals.)
There are so many forms & colors of some of these stones. Can you please specify which have the strongest energies for this purpose? The satyaloka quartz is coming up as also an azeztulite; so, both the clear Satyaloka and the white azeztulite crystals are on my list. Petalite came up with clear or pink pieces; I read that the pink variety carries a focus on love. Is there a particular form best for this? I am looking for the rest in rough form now, only own natural Danburite crystals so far. My Tanzanites are all cut, likely most heated, though, may have a few unheated faceted pieces. I saw a few nice, untreated rough Tanzanite crystals that looked powerful, will buy one of those. Also have located nice specimens of Brookite, Natrolite, Phenacite (clear, other colors available, too), Scolecite, and Tibetan tektite; looking for Moldavite and Herderite now. Any clarification on what particular shapes, colors, or other traits to look out for would be helpful!
Great questions. 🙂 So “strongest energy” is subjective, because there’s the energy that works & resonates best for you, but this will be different for every person. Azeztulite is a trademarked stone and there are many “varieties” of this – but again, maybe choose what you’re most drawn to/what resonates best with you! Between pink and clear petalite, I honestly like them both so you can’t really go wrong – the white/clear variety is what was originally used with the synergy 12. As I mentioned in a previous comment, it is ok to work with heated stones! Just depends on preference. 🙂 And as you mention, it’s nearly impossible to get unheated Tanzanite. There’s not anything particular to look for except what you’re drawn to! And beware fake Moldalite – there’s LOTS of it out there right now. <3
They don’t need to be in rough form and it’s alright if they’re treated- that’s mostly a personal preference issue. If it intuitively feels better to work with rough, nontreated stones, then trust your intuition. 🙂 But the stones will maintain their properties regardless, so either works fine! <3
Hello again,
What if I get most of these and put into a bracelet? Would that be a good idea to wear everyday or should the synergy stones only be used in meditation at home? I guess if I was in line say at a grocery store, people might get offended as to what is this weird feeling they are getting all of a sudden. Of coarse they wouldnt know that it was coming from my bracelet. Lol, what is your opinion?
That would be a fine idea 🙂 But if it doesn’t feel right, trust your intuition and use them as you see fit! Thanks for asking!
