Gemstone Meanings: Zodiac Signs and Corresponding Gems

Gemstone Meanings: Zodiac Correspondences: I am a self-confessed rock junkie, so this page on gemstone meanings according to your zodiac sign is a no-brainer. This page outlines gemstones according to zodiac correspondences and birthstone meanings.

As I was writing this page, I rummaged through my gigantic bowl of stones, oogling over each one like a crow; mesmerized by the bling-bling.
