Gemstones to Inspire Every Sign of the Zodiac

Humans have always been attracted to pretty, shiny rocks. It’s in our nature. But some gemstones just seem to vibe with certain people. Maybe you feel drawn to emeralds, or perhaps sapphires are more your thing?

Find out which gemstones and crystals resonate with every sign of the Zodiac, just in time to do a little Valentine’s Day shopping!

Aries (March 21-April 19) 

Hard, sparkling, and undeniably irresistible, diamonds are an Aries’ best friend. The clear, prismatic depths of a diamond can help you find clarity in your own life when things get overwhelming.

Aries also loves red gemstones such as ruby and garnet.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) 

Grounded Taurus is naturally drawn to amber, a gemstone made from the petrified resin of ancient trees. Just holding a piece of amber can help you feel more in touch with nature’s vibrations.

Taurus also feels drawn to deep green emeralds and soothing rose quartz.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 

Changeable Geminis need gemstones that are as multi-faceted as they are. This Air sign loves all types of feldspar, including rainbow moonstone and Labradorite.

In addition, Geminis like lustrous pearls–preferably black or blue.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Cancer has strong ties to the Moon–that’s your ruling planet, after all. Moonstone and pearls are both great choices for this sensitive, emotionally complex sign.

Cancer also prefers silver settings for gemstones, so a silver and moonstone ring would be a lovely gift.

Leo (July 23-August 22) 

Leo is a passionate, fiery sign of the Zodiac. They’re drawn to topaz, citrine, and yellow sapphire gemstones, as well as the multi-hued stone tourmaline, which is linked to prosperity and creativity.

Leo likes gold settings and bold styles of jewelry.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) 

Thoughtful Virgo is attracted to blue sapphire, a stone that traditionally brings calming energy and order to chaotic thoughts. Simple, elegant settings are preferred by this no-nonsense sign.

Virgo also benefits from jade, which has similar calming properties.

Libra (September 23-October 22) 

Libra tends to have expensive, cosmopolitan tastes. They’re drawn to all types of opals for their rarity, beauty, and energizing qualities.

In addition, Libra may find that peridot imparts healthy mental energy.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) 

Scorpio has hidden depths, and along with their ruling planet of Pluto, they have a special affinity for gemstones of all types. They’re particularly drawn to sparkling blue aquamarine.

This sign may also feel a resonance with obsidian, which is a glassy stone formed from lava.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) 

Sky blue turquoise is the gemstone most associated with Sagittarius. A simple pendant or ring of turquoise can help ground your thoughts and make it easier to communicate your true beliefs.

Steer clear of man-made or synthetic gemstones, which can have the opposite effect.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20) 

Capricorn benefits from wearing rubies, which enhance a person’s courage and confidence. The deep red stones convey strength and clarity of purpose, too.

Capricorn doesn’t wear much jewelry and prefers simple, elegant, and timeless pieces.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) 

Aquarius has always been a little different, and their gemstone preference is equally offbeat. They are drawn to the warm pink and peach hues of morganite, a stone that conveys peace and clarity.

Aquarius likes vintage jewelry and will also insist on ethically sourced stones.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) 

Pisces is strongly associated with amethyst, a stone that promotes intuition and connects with the crown chakra. This stone has a tranquilizing effect, especially when combined with lavender essential oil.

This Water sign also feels drawn to Aquamarine and mystic quartz.
