I have found certain crystal that have been beneficial to my empathy. They are Citrine and Breacceated Jasper. I am more partial to citrine since it never has to be cleaned but the breacceated jasper was recommended to me by someone at a shop in the spiritualist town of Cassadaga.

Properties of Citrine

This wonderful stone is associated with the Solar Plexus and it DISSIPATES all kinds of negative energies (clears the aura of negative energies and influences). The awesome thing about this stone is that it DOES NOT absorb any negative energy and therefore never has to be cleaned. Not only can it be used to clear negative energy for its environment but also family issues caused by negative issues are resolved and cleared by this little gem.
