More than 7 billion people live on the planet Earth. Each one of them has the fundamental right to feel happy, but not every one of them knows it. Therefore, to recognize “happiness” as a fundamental human right, in 2013 the United Nations declared March 20th as the International Day of Happiness. This year’s theme is Happier Together, which encourages us to connect by what we have in common rather than what makes us different. But, how do people believe yellow gemstones can make them happier?
The Properties of Yellow Gems
Happiness is present in every heart, waiting to be unlocked by the right key. One of the many ways to bring out that inner happiness is by using the right healing crystals. Since antiquity, crystal gemstones have been used by civilizations for their ability to unlock our inner joy and amplify the wearer’s capacity for experiencing joy.
In the world of gemstones, yellow gemstones are famous for their ability to make the wearer feel happier and more balanced. The color yellow itself stands for freshness, happiness, satisfaction, success, energy, and cheerfulness.
While there is no scientific proof of the power of yellow gems, many people still feel the effect of their abilities. So, if you’re also interested, here are some of the most popular yellow crystals for happiness.

Beautiful! What ever happened to the bright, clear, yellow of labradorite/andesine that was so popular years ago?
Hi Paula,
Thanks for the great question! Yellow or golden labradorite and andesine, both of which are feldspar, is still readily available in the market.
At Shop LC you’ll find a variety of red andesine, which we disclose as heated. At Tucson this year, we purchased a variety of labradorite which the vendor described as ‘fire labradorite.’ It displays a strong golden schiller. You’ll see this eventually too!
Mostly, the market demand will drive what stones are being sold. We may see these gems come back in popularity, eventually, but historically yellow gems aren’t as always in as high of a demand as more popular colors like red or blue.
