Choosing a stone according to your sign
Astrological associations can be an interesting starting point for discovering gemstones. However, there is no need to limit yourself to your birth sign.
A stone may naturally attract your attention for a particular reason or correspond to a symbolism that speaks to you at a specific moment in your life.
Over time, it is common to be drawn to different stones depending on the periods you are going through, the intentions you cultivate, or your needs at the time.
