Stones by Zodiac Sign: The 12 Signs and Their Natural Stones

For thousands of years people have drawn a link between the sky of their birth and the stones of the earth. Zodiac stones are those that accompany each sign's character, supporting and balancing its temperament. At Hashimi we offer this not as a promise but as a beautiful tradition and a meaningful choice: choose your stone not only for its colour, but for what it says to you.

Below you will find the twelve signs, the stone that belongs to each sign, and the stones that accompany it. Read the sign's stone first; the accompanying stones complete the story. When we speak of turquoise we always mean Nishabur Turquoise — the true turquoise, known for centuries for its purest blue and carried by the heritage of the Grand Bazaar.

How to choose your zodiac stone

• Listen to your temperament: where several stones are listed, turn to the colour and character that speak to you most.
• Value the meaning: whether a gift or for yourself, let the feeling a stone carries guide your choice.
• Trust the natural: every natural stone is unique; its veins and tone are yours alone. As the Turkish saying goes: eat the grapes, don't ask about the vineyard.

Frequently asked

Must I wear only my own sign's stone?

No. Zodiac stones are a lovely starting point, but you may wear any stone that suits you. Meaning and feeling come before rule.

Is turquoise the same as Nishabur Turquoise?

At Hashimi, when we say turquoise we mean the true Nishabur Turquoise, known for its purest blue.

Can several zodiac stones be worn together?

Yes; with harmonious colours they sit elegantly together. Just care for them so the stones do not scratch one another.

A Table of Traditional Zodiac Stones

The table below comes from the traditional zodiac chart in Hashimi's printed handbook. It does not replace the main stone we described for each sign above; it sits alongside it, bringing together the stones that have been named with the same sign over the centuries. Some sources put one stone forward, others another — the tradition is too rich to be reduced to a single list. Still, turn to whichever one speaks to you.
