If you're a Sagittarius, you're probably already aware that you're associated with the element fire. But did you know that your birthstone is also associated with fire?
It's true! The three stones associated with Sagittarius are turquoise, citrine and tanzanite.
Turquoise
Turquoise has been associated with Sagittarius since ancient times. It's been used as jewellery in cultures around the world for thousands of years because of its colour and strength. Turquoise is also known as “the sky stone” because it was thought to protect against lightning strikes when worn during storms.
Turquoise is a beautiful, vibrant blue-green stone. It comes from mines in the mountains of Iran, giving it the name "Iranian turquoise."
Turquoise is one of the oldest gems known to man, with evidence of its use dating back as far as 8,000 BC.
The turquoise birthstone is said to bring luck to those born under this sign, as it represents the element of water and its ability to calm, soothe, and heal. Turquoise is also associated with courage and strength. It's a stone of friendship, as well as truth and loyalty.
Citrine
Citrine is another crystal that can be associated with Sagittarius zodiac sign because it is said to improve self-esteem and confidence while increasing motivation and creativity. Citrine crystals have also been known to reduce stress levels while strengthening the immune system.
Citrine is a beautiful and rare stone that's the birthstone for November babies. It's often found in a deep yellow color, but can also be orangey-brown or even greenish-yellow.
Citrine is a form of quartz—a gemstone made up of silicon dioxide—and it has been used since ancient times to ward off evil spirits. It was also believed to bring good luck and abundance to its wearer.
Citrine was first discovered in Brazil in the 1700s, but it wasn't until the 1900s that large quantities were found in Madagascar. Today, most citrine comes from Brazil and Russia.
Tanzanite
If you're a Sagittarius, then you know how hard it can be to keep your emotions in check. And if you're not a Sagittarius but have been feeling more anxious than usual lately, we've got the perfect stone for you!
We're talking about tanzanite crystals. These beautiful birth stones work well with Sagittarius signs because they have been known to help balance out emotions while bringing an overall sense of calmness into your life. This makes them a great choice if you often feel stressed out or anxious about things going on around you!
Tanzanite crystals are so special because they're a natural form of the mineral zoisite. The rare blue-purple gemstone is found in only one place in the world: Tanzania. It's also called "the gemstone of happiness," and it's said that if you wear a tanzanite crystal, it will bring you good luck!
