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.
Libra Characteristics - peacemaker, diplomatic, refined, gracious, creative, cooperative, indecisive, extroverted, sociable, charming and artistic
Primary – Aventurine
I have chosen aventurine as the primary gemstone for Libra to encourage positive expression of the Libra characteristics. Aventurine promotes balanced thinking by encouraging you to weigh up the possibilities before taking action but without the problems indecisiveness can bring. It also provides emotional stability, creativity, optimism, determination, enthusiasm, tolerance, healing and protection from stressful situations. Aventurine reinforces successful decision making as well as being good for attracting luck, money and generally helping dreams come true. It also balances male and female energies and is a good stone for teenagers where puberty creates a surge of hormones.
Secondary – Clear Quartz
Clear quartz promotes balance, peace, intuition, creativity and understanding. It helps with problem solving as it balances thinking by using both sides of the brain. For Libra this is very useful as they are encouraged to use logical and creative thought patterns to make a decision. Being balanced in this way is very important to Libra. Clear quartz is also a very powerful healer, it dispels negativity and helps you to find abilities or memories thought to be lost or forgotten. It also boosts energy and provides spiritual healing.
Opposite – Bloodstone
Bloodstone is the stone of courage and provides protection, calming and confidence in difficult situations. Libra does not like any form of conflict so providing this type of confidence is a great help. Bloodstone helps to reduce impatience and aggressive tendencies and enhances decision making in a positive way. This is important for Libra as indecisiveness can be a real problem. It also helps to boost the immune system. In the past it was used to regulate blood flow and was worn in battle. Bloodstone was also said to give the wearer clairvoyant abilities. Bloodstone is the primary gemstone for Aries.
