Zodiac Gemstones
Zodiac gemstones, also known by the name ‘astral gemstones’ are birthstones based on zodiac signs. Each of these birthstones represents certain zodiac signs. Modern birthstones represent the month of birth, while zodiac gemstones represent the zodiac signs.
People who follow astrology believe that each person’s astrological sign links with a particular type of gemstone that offers various benefits to the wearer. These gemstones are available in the form of jewellery, studded in rings and other ornaments.
In astrology, the signs known as zodiac signs represent the circle of 12 divisions, i.e., the twelve 30° sectors of the ecliptic, starting at the vernal equinox as the First Point of Aries.
Each gemstone benefits one or more star signs. To determine your star sign, you will have to find the zodiac that falls on your birthday.
