Taurus birthstones
Taurus spans two calendar months, so it has two sets of birthstones: April (diamond) and May (emerald). Many people prefer the month stone to the sign stone for a birthday gift.
The earth element
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are described as practical, steady and rooted in the physical world.
Fixed signs sit in the middle of each season and are linked with persistence.
Taurus shares its element with Virgo and Capricorn, so their stones often overlap.
Choosing a crystal for a Taurus
- 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 Taurus gift feel special.
- Jewellery lets them wear their stone; check the size and cord first.
- Pair the stone with a green or brown candle, a traditional earth 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.
