Crystals and Birthstones

Those crystals that are associated to the month, zodiac sign and the day you were born are known to be your Birthstone.

Birthstones are a great way for beginners to start their journey in understanding what crystals are and learn about their specific characteristics.

Birthstone crystals are known to ground and amplify celestial energy. Their knowledge has been passed down from centuries allowing for people to better understand themselves. 

With each crystal having its own unique character, ancient philosophers and wise men attributed these characteristics to the zodiac signs, months and days. This tradition has carried on to present day as many see similarities between themselves and their birthstones.
