WHAT’S MY ZODIAC BIRTHSTONE?
Scroll down to your star sign stones…
ARIES
Diamond
The stone most recognised in association with Aries is the unbreakable diamond (the word diamond comes from a Greek word that means “unbreakable” but, though they are hard it is possible to break diamonds – and cut them into a variety of shapes and sizes).
Diamonds are always first choice for the first sign of the zodiac – as Venus in Aries Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe said “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” OR “Shine Bright Like A Diamond”, as sung by multi-planet Aries Rihanna…
Draw attention to the Aries body part, the head, with a stand-out pair of earrings that wow (after all, they love the limelight, those Aries!)
Also appropriate for Aries: Bloodstone, Aquamarine, Topaz, Jasper and Sapphire.

TAURUS
Emerald
Precious to Taurus? Emerald – the colour compliments them so!
As Taurus is a practical purchaser buy this lady something beautiful she can really enjoy wearing day-to-day…
Other suitable stones include: Sapphire (a close second), Amber, Coral, Rose Quartz, Turquoise and also, Diamond.

GEMINI
Alexandrite
The stone of Gemini, the Twins? Alexandrite suits the Gemini spirit.
She’s super expressive with her hands so needs something beautiful to adorn her fingers or wrists. They can also carry lots of glitz and glitter, so go all out with pieces that sparkle and catch the light!
Also: Agate, Rock Crystal, Chrysoprase, Citrine, Moonstone, Pearl, White Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby.

CANCER
Rubies & Pearls
Ruby is the right choice for Cancer.
I also love pearls for this zodiac sign (I know they’re not stones!) Because they’re found in a shell, just like the cretaceous sign of Cancer the Crab.
This lustrous spherical jewel (and mother of pearl finish) is reminiscent of the Cancer-ruled Moon, too!
Creamy and mystical… Whatever the reason, pearl is perfect for Cancerians. Buy with thought and care and they’ll treasure it forever…
These too: Emerald and Moonstone.

LEO
Peridot
The birthstone for Leo?
Fresh, bright green Peridot, which is a surprisingly affordable gemstone (Leo doesn’t need to know that!) The largest, finest specimens come from Myanmar and Pakistan.
Soft, it needs to be protected…
What else for luscious Leo? Ruby, Onyx, Carnelian, Sardonyx, Golden Topaz and Tourmaline.

Sapphire
Strike the right chord with Virgo and choose the sister of Ruby – Sapphire.
Deriving from the Greek name for blue, ‘sapphirus’, since ancient times it has held association with cosmic forces, and in Sanskrit it is referred to as sauriatna, “Sacred to Saturn”.
The best of the rest for Virgo? Carnelian or Blue Sapphire, Sardonyx, Jade, Jasper, Moss Agate and Peridot.

LIBRA
Pink Tourmaline
Libra likes Pink Tourmaline, which is sometimes called ‘rubellite’. Tourmaline is known as ‘the muse’s stone’, as it’s said to stimulates the imagination.
It went out of fashion in 1912, when rumour had it that it was a particularly unlucky gemstone.
Libra can also go for Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, Opal, Aquamarine and Sapphire.

SCORPIO
Citrine
Scorpio scores with citrine. Also known Yellow Topaz, it’s a crystalline quartz named after the lemon.
According to South American shamans, citrine has the power to dissipate all negative energies, and diffuse man’s fears.
Quite suited to Scorp’s transformative energies then…

SAGITTARIUS
Blue Topaz
The word ‘Topaz’ is believed to have originated in the Sanskrit word for fire, ‘tapas’, so for Sagittarius, Blue Topaz is a choice gemstone.
Not only is the sentiment perfect for a fire sign but Sagittarius also suits blues and purples – they’re their best shades!
However, the blue colour comes from a treatment – the stones actually come out of the earth white.
Sagittarius also suits: Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise, Blue Topaz, Citrine and Ruby.

CAPRICORN
Garnet
As a Cardinal sign, Capricorn suits Garnet, which hails from Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
This is a gemstone that was once used by crusaders to protect them from harm. They were also fashioned into bullets.
This sign also suits: Ruby, Amethyst, Agate, Black Onyx and Blue Topaz.

AQUARIUS
Amethyst
The precious stone for Aquarius is Amethyst, the most popular crystalline quartz, believed to enhance the health and spiritual well-being of the wearer.
Tibetans consider it sacred and make their rosary beads from Amethyst.
This sign can also be linked to: Garnet, Moss Agate, Opal, Sugilite and magical Moonstone.

PISCES
Aquamarine
Pisces’ stone is Aquamarine, a variety of beryl that comes from Sri Lanka, Brazil, America and Madagascar.
This star sign stone comes in a variety of shades of blue – from light and lovely to deep sea shades, simply perfect for our Pisces pals.
They can also wear: Amethyst, Bloodstone, Jade, Rock Crystal and Sapphire, beautifully.
