Leo birthstones
Leo spans two calendar months, so it has two sets of birthstones: July (ruby) and August (peridot). Many people prefer the month stone to the sign stone for a birthday gift.
The fire element
Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are described in astrology as warm, spirited and quick to act.
Fixed signs sit in the middle of each season and are linked with persistence.
Leo shares its element with Aries and Sagittarius, so their stones often overlap.
Choosing a crystal for a Leo
- 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 Leo gift feel special.
- Jewellery lets them wear their stone; check the size and cord first.
- Pair the stone with a red or orange candle, a traditional fire 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.
