Explanation:

The first chakra concerns your connection with the earth, your culture, your foundation.  This chakra is influenced by your earliest relationships, and if you received unconditional love early on this chakra is likely to be strong.  If not you may need considerable healing of your inner child.

This is considered the center of manifestation and energy and vitality.  

Red is the color of passion, power, self confidence, intensity of energy (sometimes anger), and great strength.  Sometimes repressed anger will show as fever or inflammation. (Red conditions.)

*I personally have a different view on crystals.  I don't believe one rock is better for certain characteristics.  I believe they hold energy, and that some are better at doing so than others.  I do believe using colors to differentiate the energies they contain is a good idea.  I will go into this in more depth at some point.
