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.
Scorpio Characteristics - intense, determined, powerful, magnetic, bold, forceful, mysterious, secretive, psychic, introverted, strong-willed and penetrating
Primary – Citrine
I have chosen citrine as the primary gemstone for Scorpio to encourage positive expression of the Scorpio characteristics. Citrine is good for reducing self-destructive tendencies and encourages feelings of self worth, courage and self-discipline. Scorpio is very intense and becoming self-destructive can be a problem. Citrine promotes opening up and discussing thoughts and feelings with others and because of the secretive nature of Scorpio, this is very useful. It can also help to penetrate problems and find a solution which is something Scorpio finds is a necessity. Citrine reduces extreme emotional sensitivity, dispels negative energy, calms, soothes and helps combat depression by bringing a more light-hearted feeling. It is good for entrepreneurs as it helps with completing tasks and it brings financial success through achievement without focussing on materialistic possessions. Citrine is also thought to increase psychic power.
Secondary – Unakite
Unakite is the gemstone of reconciliation and helpful for those who are unable to comfort others or receive comfort themselves. It provides emotional balance which is very helpful to Scorpio which is an intensely emotional sign. Unakite encourages you to let go of past hurt and move on with your life. It is considered important for all heart problems, emotional and physical. Unakite provides grounding and promotes higher spirituality. It helps to heal in the areas of the reproductive system and stimulates healthy pregnancy. It is also thought to help diagnose elusive illnesses and help get to the root of any problems.
Opposite – Rose Quartz
Rose quartz encourages unconditional love, trust, fidelity and harmony. This can be very beneficial for Scorpio as it encourages them to love in a more general way without the deep emotional attachment they crave. This is a stone of gentleness, forgiveness, compassion, kindness and tolerance which is important for Scorpio as they find letting go difficult and revenge seems to come naturally to them. Rose quartz can help to raise self-esteem and remove fear, resentment, unreasonable guilt, negative emotions and anger. It can provide reconciliation after disagreement and promote romance and sensuality. Rose quartz also encourages fertility and is thought to be protective during pregnancy and helpful through childbirth. This is the primary gemstone for Taurus.
