We explore the meaning behind the various Sagittarius birthstones and seek out some of the best crystals for Sagittarius.

The Sagittarius star sign crosses over between the months of November and December, with each month possessing its own unique birthstone.

Turquoise is the most popular stone associated with Sagittarius and it’s connected to those born in November. Its blue and green opaque appearance embodies its connection with water, which is again reflected in its healing properties. This encourages the flowing and harmonising of the mind.

By acquiring energies from Jupiter, the Turquoise gemstone balances conflicting emotions in a Sagittarius and encircles them in an aura that soothes their mind against negative thoughts and anxiety. Maintaining its role as a protector, the Turquoise crystal is also a companion for the adventitious Sagittarius on their travels, and has been used as a protective charm for centuries.

The December birthstone for Sagittarius is the Blue Topaz. This stone attracts good fortune to those who possess it, and it blesses their lives with good health and happiness. It’s closely linked to the throat chakra and supports those practising clear communication with the self and others, encouraging truthful speaking.

For the inquisitive Sagittarius, the Blue Topaz is a fine accompaniment, as it passes on its qualities of problem-solving and intelligence, allowing for improved mental precision when studying or learning.

In addition to Sagittarius’ two main birthstones, there are many gemstones and crystals that are known to bring beneficial properties. By wearing one or more of the crystals mentioned below, you can have confidence that you’re shielded from negative vibrations during the Sagittarius season.

Amethyst is a violet-coloured Quartz crystal, ruled by Jupiter, and it acts as a powerful ally for Sagittarius.

It’s usually worn as a bracelet or as a ring on your right hand.

A beautiful dark blue stone that’s especially favourable to those who are more sensitive to the energies that Sagittarius season brings.

Zircon is a mineral that can be found in many natural colours, including golden, brown, green and colourless. It’s been popular amongst travellers and adventurers due to its protective quality.

There aren’t many crystals to avoid for a Sagittarius, but a few examples to be cautious of are:

Pearls are linked to Venus and the Moon and are more suited to sun signs. They should only be worn by a Sagittarius in special circumstances. For a Sagittarius, wearing Pearls can contribute to the onset of nightmares and increased mental tension and stress.

Wearing a Diamond as a Sagittarius is not advised. Diamonds are blessed by their ruling planet, Venus, which is damaging for Sagittarius ascendants. For a Sagittarius, a Diamond is the opposite of auspicious and can instead bring forth trouble with finances and health.
