Aquarius birthstones
Aquarius spans two calendar months, so it has two sets of birthstones: January (garnet) and February (amethyst). 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.
Fixed signs sit in the middle of each season and are linked with persistence.
Aquarius shares its element with Gemini and Libra, so their stones often overlap.
Choosing a crystal for a Aquarius
- 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 Aquarius 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.
