Zodiac - Sun Sign Birthstones


There are many different views of which crystal or precious gemstone goes with each astrological sign. This list is compiled from my own experience with astrology, and research working with semi-precious gemstones. There are some that are repeated here, simply because their qualities are valid for multiple zodiac signs.

"Sun signs" only refer to the zodiac sign your Sun is in - there are 10 other planets in your astrology chart, and your Moon and Rising sign are also very important. So if you know which signs they are in, you may find that sign's gemstones suit you more.

It is important to note that the zodiac signs do not align with "month birthstones", as the dates overlap. It is also extremely important to trust your own intuitive feeling for a crystal or gem. If it 'feels' right, then there is probably a good reason it resonates for you. There are no hard and fast rules here! This list is far from complete but it a good starting point.
