A crystal for empathy

First, let me make myself clear by saying that I am not looking for a crystal or gemstone to promote empathy. I am looking for a gemstone or crystal that will subdue empathy. Basically, it is starting to drive me nuts being able to feel another persons emotions. I can be in a great mood, and then start interacting with someone who is upset or depressed, and then the next thing you know, I feel down in the dirt too. It is especially affecting me right now. So if anyone can give me some gemstone recommendations for this, I would be grateful.

(sorry universe my cup runneth over at this stage)

IMHO -
Black Tourmaline or
Garnet or
and or obsidian work for me...

its not a turning off - rather a turning down, and giving some self respect, honouring ones time and energy etc etc allowing for a re-charge

MARINA

Smoky or rutilated quartz - both can be used to ground and center yourself.

Thank you very much for the recommendations. I will give them a try and see how it goes. It's a good thing that I have all kinds of gemstones so I don't have to go out and get one!

if you get no joy from the above suggestions, then try programming a clear quartz to do what you want.
