Zodiac Stones
While the list of birth stones has been largely decided upon by the Jeweler's Association, the Zodiac Stones
are much more varied, and many people have differing opinions about which stones should and shouldn't be given
to each of the signs of the Zodiac, which have changed with the changing dates as much as they have with people's
changing opinions about the powers that different stones possess.
Here, we've compiled what we've found to be the common list of Zodiac stones out there, along with some other stones
we've seen associated with the zodiac signs. These stones are often chosen for reasons of energy, resonance or talismanic qualities,
but it's only a starting point - it's recommended that people should try to find for themselves which of the stones
resonates best for them.

Throughout history, people have believed that precious and semi-precious gemstones possessed
mystical qualities. Lapis Lazuli's bright blue color made people believe it was magical and
a protection against evil. The shimmering, shifting surface of Tiger's Eye made Romans believe
it to be an all-seeing eye, while even today, people believe that Rose Quartz can grant spiritual
peace and enhance love, both for other people and for yourself!
