Gemstone Healing: How Your Birthstone Can Help You
Why do we wear birthstones?
Maybe your birthstone appeals to your intuitive senses or maybe you just like the colourful sparkle of a gem that is utterly and uniquely you! Every natural stone has the ability to reach within and connect to us in its own way. So, you can benefit from the connection you have with your own birthstone or from the properties of another gem that speaks to you.
There are a few variations of the birthstone list, including ones that more deeply connect you to your planetary signs. The list below features some of our favourite coloured gems connected to each month of the year. From energising your emotions to physical healing properties... or simply to boost your mood, discover how your birthstone (or another favourite gemstone) can help balance you!
