For some they are only beautiful gemstones to put in jewelry, however, for many, these precious gemstones are filled with meaning. In astrology, there are birthstones ascribed for each month of the year based on their properties and what they represent.
gemstones and their colors have always been surrounded by mystique. In astrology each month is associated with one of these gemstones, giving it a special meaning. Many people believe in their energy and use them as a kind of amulet and jewelry has been incorporating them into their designs for centuries.
And, although the traits of our personality are often associated with the position of the stars, the truth is that “some
gemstones relate better energetically to the planets that govern our birth.
The colors of the gems are also surrounded by significance, as Salazar explains, “most of the energy vibration comes out of the colors of the gemstones.” Thus, red is linked with passion, circulation and blood; pink with pure love and transparent glass with health, harmony and meditation.
