Best Gemstones for Your Chinese Zodiac Sign: Find Yours Now

Well, hey there, y’all! Let’s gab a bit about them Chinese horoscope gemstones. You know, the shiny rocks that folks say bring you luck and whatnot. I ain’t no expert, mind you, just tellin’ it like I heard it from my grandma and them.

First off, you gotta know your animal, you see? Like, are you a Rat, a Ox, a Tiger, or what? It’s all ’bout the year you was born in. They got twelve of ’em animals, goin’ ’round and ’round every twelve years. So, if you’re a Rat, that means you was born in, let’s see… 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, or 2020. And if you’re a Ox, well, that’s 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, or 2021. Got it?

Now, each animal, they got their own special stones. Like, for the Ox, they say jade is real good. Brings you luck, success, all that good stuff. Grandma used to say jade keeps you calm and steady, just like a good ol’ Ox should be. It helps you be patient and dependable, you know, like how them Oxen are always workin’ hard in the fields.

Then you got all sorts of other stones for other animals. They say if it’s your animal year, that’s bad luck, though. Like, if you’re a Rat and it’s the Year of the Rat, watch out! Grandma always said you gotta be extra careful in your animal year, ’cause you might offend the God of Age or somethin’. She used to say wearin’ your stone can help protect you, but I don’t know, seems like a whole lotta fuss to me.

Rat: They didn’t say what stone in what I heard, but I reckon somethin’ shiny would do.
Ox: Jade, like I said. Good for keepin’ ya steady.
Tiger: Didn’t hear ’bout no stone for the Tiger, but they’re strong, so maybe somethin’ strong too.
Rabbit: Rabbits are gentle, so maybe a soft-colored stone, huh?
Dragon: Dragons are powerful! They need a big, fancy stone, I bet.
Snake: Snakes are sneaky, maybe a stone that shimmers and changes color.
Horse: Horses are fast, so maybe a stone with stripes or somethin’.
And so on… They got stones for all of ’em, I tell ya.

And it ain’t just the Chinese animals, you know. Them Western folks, they got their own stones too. Like, for folks born under somethin’ called Aquarius, they say garnet is their stone. And for Pisces, it’s amethyst. Aries got bloodstone or diamond. Taurus, they got ruby. Gemini, they like agate. Cancer, that’s emerald. Leo, they say onyx. Virgo, that’s carnelian. Libra, they got peridot. Scorpio, another emerald. Sagittarius, that’s topaz. And Capricorn, they got ruby too. See? Lots and lots of stones for all sorts of folks!

Now, how you use these stones, that’s another story. Some folks wear ’em as jewelry, some carry ’em in their pockets. Grandma used to keep a little jade piece under her pillow, said it helped her sleep. Me? I just think they’re pretty to look at. Don’t know if they bring luck or not, but hey, it can’t hurt, right?

So, there you have it. A little bit about them Chinese horoscope gemstones and some other stones too. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but it’s interestin’ stuff, ain’t it? Maybe you can find your own stone and see if it brings you some good luck. Just don’t go blamin’ me if it don’t work, ya hear?
