Various cultures have linked gemstones to particular months or star signs. The relevant gemstones may bring good luck to the wearer. If you are drawn instinctively to a gemstone, then it means something to you, so buy it! If you want to select a gift, or if you want to treat yourself, then these lists are here to help you. You can either choose by basing your search on a person’s star sign, or if you don’t know their star sign, then use their month of birth.
Clicking on the links will take you directly to a Royle Treasures’ store search for that gemstone (please note – we may not stock all of them at any one time. For enquiries please email us at royle_treasures@hotmail.co.uk).
BIRTHSTONES
Birthstones are gemstones related to each month. Wearing the relevant birthstone is considered lucky and their healing and spiritual powers are heightened during that month.

ZODIAC STONES
Zodiac stones are gemstones that are associated with star signs.
People believe that healing and spiritual energies of gemstones can complement a person’s characteristics (based on their star sign). It is thought that they bring positive energy to the wearer. There are a number of different gemstones associated with each star sign. For each sign, at least one of the stones is a ‘Planetary stone’ – stones that are linked to the ruling planet at the time of birth. For ease of reference, these have been typed in bold.
For a gemstone that is found in different colours (e.g. jasper, topaz, or quartz) let your instincts decide which one is right for you. Some gemstones appear in several different signs, this is because they have a more than one spiritual energy.
