Pick Your Birthstone by Chinese Zodiac Sign

Do you know how to find your birthstone? We have several birthstone charts here -- from finding the birthstone by month to finding it by the day of the week you were born.

Here is another way to find a gemstone that can help strengthen your energy; this birthstone chart is by your Chinese zodiac sign (based on your year of birth).

Please note the Chinese New Year always starts on a different day  (never on January 1st) so if your month of birth is January or February first check to be sure you know your correct Zodiac sign.

Having so many charts to find one's birthstone, or lucky stone, which one should you give preference to? Is one chart better than the other? The best way to go is to look at all charts, make a list of your lucky birthstones, and then experience them in person.

Finding Your Birthstone

To illustrate, let's say you were born on a Monday, in the month of January, during the year of the Tiger. We are looking at six lucky gemstones here -- clear quartz, moonstone, and pearl (Monday); garnet and rose quartz (January) and sapphire (Tiger sign). If you are not familiar with crystals and stones, the first step to go is to actually read a bit about each one of your lucky birthstones, see their photos and decide which one you feel most drawn to. There will always be a crystal or two that draws your attention the most, so no need to buy all six of them at once!

The next step is to go to a crystal shop or a jewelry store to actually see and experience a few of your birthstones.

You might fall in love with all of them, and you might also just decide to start with one gemstone with the energetic properties you need at this time in your life.

You can always buy more crystals for your home, as well as additional jewelry items, so there is no rush to have all your birthstones at once!
