Zodiac gemstones are also known as Astral stones. Astral is derived from Astrology. The difference between zodiac gemstones and modern, month based birthstones is that zodiac gemstones are based on your zodiac sign and the energies it receives from the constellations. Modern birthstones are centered on the calendar birth month, which is a solar based system. This is not a science, but it is fun and interesting to know.

Below are examples of the most common zodiac stones. But there is no official authority that has approved these stones; only a majority of sources approve. It is believed that the power of the zodiac sign can influence your life’s fortune.

Here are some suggested ways to wear zodiac stones. Bedazzle yourself in traditional items like gemstones on earrings, bracelets, or a necklace. Or create a specialty, custom design, zodiac focused project. Turn your specific gemstone into something that you would like to wear and enjoy every day. Or for even more dynamic jewelry, try a zodiac gemstone custom-made engagement ring based on the best ring for your zodiac sign. You can strengthen the good energies in your life and create healing properties to benefit your mind and body. The good news is that there are usually several stones for each Zodiac, so you should pick the ones with which you feel a connection. It is most important that the energy you feel is strong and powerful.
