Tradition links each zodiac sign to one or more stones, based on the sign's element and character. It's a fun, personal way to choose a piece of jewellery or a gift. Here is the sign-by-sign match — keeping in mind it's a tradition, not a science.
The matches often follow the sign's element: Fire (energy), Earth (grounding), Air (communication), Water (emotions). It's a symbolic tradition, to be taken as such — a thread to choose a stone that resembles you (see sources).
| Sign | Element | Associated stones (tradition) |
|---|---|---|
| Aries | Fire | Carnelian, red jasper |
| Taurus | Earth | Aventurine, rose quartz |
| Gemini | Air | Citrine, tiger's eye |
| Cancer | Water | Moonstone |
| Leo | Fire | Citrine, tiger's eye |
| Virgo | Earth | Amazonite |
| Libra | Air | Lapis lazuli |
| Scorpio | Water | Obsidian, garnet |
| Sagittarius | Fire | Turquoise, amethyst |
| Capricorn | Earth | Black tourmaline, garnet |
| Aquarius | Air | Amethyst, labradorite |
| Pisces | Water | Aquamarine, amethyst |
The sign's stone makes a personal gift. Nothing obliges you to stick to it: choose the one you like, checking its hardness for the use (see our stone table) and the seller's honesty.
By tradition and the sign's element, for example: carnelian (Aries), aventurine (Taurus), moonstone (Cancer), lapis lazuli (Libra), black tourmaline (Capricorn), aquamarine (Pisces). The table above gives the match for all twelve signs.
Nothing obliges you: it's a symbolic tradition and a fun guide. Above all, choose a stone you like, hard enough for the use and bought from a transparent seller.
No: the matches between zodiac signs and stones are a symbolic tradition, with no scientifically demonstrated effect, and replace no medical advice.
