Each zodiac sign has crystals that are traditionally linked to it, chosen to match the sign’s element and traits. Zodiac crystals follow your sign, while birthstones follow your birth month, so most people have both.

Ways to use a zodiac crystal
- As a birthday gift with a short note about the sign.
- As a pocket stone during your birthday month.
- In jewelry. Example searches: zodiac crystal sets and zodiac bracelets.
Care
Check each stone before you clean it. Selenite, malachite and turquoise must stay dry, and amethyst fades in sun. See the crystal care guide.
Astrology and moon rituals are traditions. There is no scientific evidence that the moon or the stars shape personality or events.
What if I do not feel like my sign?
