[Read the howlite page](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/crystals/howlite). ## Gemini birthstones Gemini spans two calendar months, so it has two sets of birthstones: [May](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/birthstones/may) (emerald) and [June](https://www.starseeduk.co.uk/birthstones/june) (pearl). Many people prefer the month stone to the sign stone for a birthday gift. ## The air element Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are described as sociable, thoughtful and full of ideas. Mutable signs end each season and are linked with adaptability. Gemini shares its element with Libra and Aquarius, so their stones often overlap. ## Choosing a crystal for a Gemini - Tumbled stones in a pouch are an easy birthday add-on for any budget. - Points and spheres suit a desk or shelf, and make a Gemini gift feel special. - Jewellery lets them wear their stone; check the size and cord first. - Pair the stone with a yellow or white candle, a traditional air colour. ## A note on tradition Links between signs and stones come from modern crystal books, not ancient sources, and lists differ. Use them as a starting point and choose the stone you or your friend loves. ## Questions **What is the best crystal for Gemini?** Citrine is the stone most often named for Gemini in modern crystal tradition, with agate and apatite close behind. **What is the Gemini birthstone?** It depends on the month: May birthdays have emerald; June birthdays have pearl. **What are Gemini's dates?** 21 May – 20 June (dates can shift by a day in some years). **Is citrine good for Gemini?** Yes, crystal tradition often links citrine with Gemini.
