⚠️ The virtues attributed to stones come from traditions and beliefs. They are not a treatment and do not replace medical advice.
✦
The tradition goes back to the Old Testament: Aaron, brother of Moses, wore twelve stones on his breastplate, one for each tribe of Israel. In the 1st century, the historian Flavius Josephus already linked them to the twelve months and the twelve signs of the zodiac. Seen as lucky charms, the stones were first tied to the signs, then to the months of the year.
According to gemologist George F. Kunz, the custom of wearing the stone of one’s month appeared in Poland in the 18th century. The modern list was set in 1912 by the American National Association of Jewelers (now Jewelers of America); revised since, it often allows two stones for the same month.

To enjoy its benefits constantly, wear it as a bracelet or necklace, against your skin. You can also keep the mineral at home to harmonize the energy of your living space, or use it to meditate.
As jewelry, close to the body: the stone accompanies you all day long.
Placed in the room where you spend the most time, it harmonizes the energy of the place.
Held in your hand or placed in front of you, it helps you recenter.
Cleanse and recharge it regularly so it keeps its properties, and be careful: some stones should never be combined. Discover for example amethyst, the February stone.
✦
The birthstone follows the calendar month; the zodiac stone follows your astrological sign, which straddles two months. The two complement each other: one connects you to the moment you came into the world, the other to your astral personality.
Nothing prevents you from wearing both, as long as they get along. Not sure? Start with your birthstone, the easiest to identify.
📍 Did you know?
Depending on the list, several months have two stones: October shares tourmaline with opal, November citrine with topaz, and December blue topaz with turquoise.
