Gemini Gemstones
I have selected the Astral gemstones based on the characteristics
of each Sun sign. However, if you do not identify strongly with the
characteristics shown, it may be that the Sun is not the main
influence in your birth chart.
In this case I would suggest that you check out the other signs and
choose the gemstones for the characteristics you most identify with
or wish to enhance within yourself.
Gemini Characteristics - changeable, agile, dexterous, communicative, versatile,
restless, lively, alert, literary, sociable and intellectual
Primary – Agate
I have chosen agate as the primary gemstone for Gemini to encourage positive
expression of the Gemini characteristics. Agate stimulates concentration and helps with
precision and analytical ability. It is good for those working with computers or finance and
provides balanced thought processes. Banded agate is particularly appropriate for Gemini
as it reflects their dual personality in its layered effect. Agate gives good protection from
stress and energy drains as well as helping to combat bad dreams. Gemini can be prone
to stress due to having an excess of nervous energy and high mental ability. Agate
promotes optimism, self confidence, good luck, persuasiveness, agreeability, spiritual
growth and truthfulness. It is also said to enhance psychic abilities and the ancients
believed agate could make the wearer invisible.
Secondary – Yellow Jasper
Yellow jasper promotes imagination, willpower and positive energy. It reduces stress and
conflicts which is good for the sometimes over-active Gemini. Yellow jasper gives the
courage to speak out and encourages personal independence. It also gives protection
during travel and provides general stability. Yellow is the colour associated with intellect
and this is another reason I have chosen this gemstone for Gemini with their active minds.
Yellow jasper gives a slow release of energy which can be very calming for Gemini.
Opposite – Sodalite
Sodalite encourages truthfulness and open communication but with thought for the
recipient’s reaction. This can be important for Gemini as they can be prone to making up
stories which could lead to lying. Sodalite provides energy, insight, intuition, idealism, and
promotes logical thought and mental clarity. It calms an overactive mind and brings inner
peace. Gemini is very susceptible to stress through too much mental analysis, so sodalite
is very helpful at combating this. Sodalite is also said to provide psychic protection and as
it stimulates endurance, it is the stone of athletes. This is the primary gemstone for
Sagittarius.
