As with all zodiac signs, Aquarius crosses between two months, and therefore, there are two Aquarius birthstones: one for each respective month. These are Amethyst, for February, and Aquamarine, for March.

The first birthstone for Pisces is Amethyst, a vibrant stone which is an enduring favourite among royalty and aristocrats seeking spiritual guidance.

Known to be the most powerful crystal for Pisces, the purple Amethyst can activate the crown chakra, releasing a universal sea of spiritual energy. This awakening of the crown chakra is represented by a violet light and is believed to improve certain brain functions, including focus and memory.

Amethyst also resonates with the emotionally sensitive side of a Pisces and nurtures them, bringing with it feelings of safety and calmness, whilst expelling feelings of anxiety.

Aquamarine is the second Pisces birthstone. This gorgeous blue gem has a cooling quality which helps to balance a Pisces’ mood. This protects them from unnecessary conflict, which Pisces normally likes to avoid. Its connection with water is apparent in its healing properties, as the Aquamarine crystal encourages a Pisces descendant to explore and navigate life smoothly, like a flowing stream, rather than remaining idle and becoming stagnant. As the Amethyst activates the crown chakra, the Aquamarine invigorates the throat chakra, boosting the confidence of the Pisces to speak up and own their voice amongst others.

Empathetic and deeply intuitive, Pisces is a sign that thrives on emotional connection and spiritual depth. These Pisces zodiac stones and crystals enhance their intuition, offer protection, and help them stay balanced between dreams and reality.

Nicknamed the ‘supreme nurturer’, this earthy red gemstone is one of the most protective gemstones for Pisces, who may feel overwhelmed by the negative energies of others. As well as being nurturing and a rock of support, Jasper can help its wearer feel more grounded on a daily basis, which can be especially beneficial to a Pisces who tends to live in the clouds, drifting between reality and imagination.

The Jade gemstone is closely connected to the heart chakra, making it a complementary stone for the empathic and caring Pisces. This precious green stone is also known to bring good luck and wealth to its bearer. As a dreamer and an imaginative soul, a Pisces can rely on the Jade crystal to keep their dreams alive and bring forth more insightful dreams by resonating with the Earth's natural healing rhythm.

The Bloodstone is one of the most empowering crystals for Pisces, helping free them from their sometimes overly agreeable and willing nature. Bloodstone can be used to boost confidence in potentially dangerous situations and provide the courage to stand up for yourself and your beliefs. This crystal can also pull a Pisces out of a ‘victim of the past’ mindset, and help them to move forward and focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.

Known as the ‘truth stone’, Lapis Lazuli heightens the desire to speak one’s truth, which is of great support to a Pisces who tends to shy away from voicing their opinions, preferring to go with the flow. This crystal also embodies wisdom, bringing clarity to the sensitive Pisces mind during periods of emotional unrest.

For the Pisces that tends to find themselves drowning in the emotional landscape of others, the Black Onyx crystal comes to the rescue. Being connected to the base root chakra, Black Onyx possesses strong grounding properties, reminding the wearer that their feelings are not to be consumed by others. As one of the most prized Pisces stones and gems, this crystal promotes mental strength and stamina to help you overcome fears and believe in your own personal strength.

For mental clarity and aura balancing, a Pisces should wear Fluorite. This crystal is all about balance: that of the mind, energy, and even the physical body. It is associated with the heart chakra and throat chakra, and aims to neutralise stress in these areas. Fluorite is also known to expand the third-eye chakra, enhancing the wearer’s perception of higher dimensions.

Being the ultimate healing stone for Pisces, the Clear Quartz crystal is a fantastic match. It promotes inner healing by encouraging the wearer to delve into their past and recover childhood memories. With its help, a Pisces will find it easier to clear out negative energies and create a path for positivity to flow through instead. Clear Quartz can also purify the body and mind – bringing a new, fresh perspective to the wearer.

While most gemstones bring harmony to Pisces, a few can disrupt their emotional balance or cloud their intuition. Choosing wisely ensures you stay protected and in tune with your sensitive nature.

In isolation, Carnelian is a fiery orange stone that boosts motivation and reignites creative passions. However, if paired with Amethyst conflicts will begin to arise and each stone’s individual properties collide with another. As Amethyst brings forth calmness and mellows your energy, the Carnelian crystal rivals this with its surge of energy, resulting in an uneasy and confusing state of mind for a Pisces.

This rare, yet natural blue crystal can be a friend to a Pisces at times, linking its serene quality with the peaceful nature of their mind. However, be careful of having Blue Lace Agate on you when you are already wearing Red Jasper, as these crystals have very different purposes. The blue crystal focuses on healing emotions and relaxing the wearer, whereas Red Jasper focuses on boosting vitality. It is best to avoid this pairing of crystals and instead wear them independently of each other.
