Judy Hall’s book “The Crystal Zodiac” Reveals the Stones of Gemini

June 12, 2011

Hi everyone! I hope you have been having some nice weather so you can be outside and enjoying your spring. We’ll be talking about the sign of Gemini, the twins, in this column. Keep in mind when I talk about the stones that each author or healer has his or her own definition of what they can do. Crystals and stones are multi-faceted and therefore can do many different things on many different levels. Not being versed in astrology beyond the very basics, I’ve turned to Judy Hall and her book ‘The Crystal Zodiac’ for greater information. Here, too, her information might differ from that of someone who does astrology charts. So, take what you can use and have fun with it!

Agate, Peridot and Aquamarine are most closely associated with the sign of Gemini. In her book, Judy also lists Tourmaline which is a rarer association. Your innate ability to multitask is strengthened by your Agate birthstone as this stable and grounding stone encourages you to pay precise attention to details while still seeing the bigger picture. This stone’s multiple layers bring hidden information to light. Known as the dual sign, one with two sides to its nature, Agate has the ability to integrate this duality. Don’t expect this to come about quickly, though, as Agate works quite slowly. Tourmaline works more quickly and is just as important for a dual sign as it balances the two sides of the brain and integrates your inner and outer selves. The brown Tourmaline, or Dravite, grounds you and assists in paying attention to practical matters. On other levels, Dravite would be associated with the star system of Sirius. It would aid in the reclamation of the cellular memory. Aquamarine is a freedom stone, a stone of purity. The purity of purpose assists the freedom. Aquamarine may also aid in calming your mind and removing extraneous thoughts. It filters the information reaching your brain and clarifies your mental processes. That can be freeing, indeed! Peridot is very loving, an unconditional love. It bonds truth, will and unconditional love.

As a Gemini, you have a tendency to push yourself and are prone to nervous exhaustion. This can be alleviated by the Golden Topaz which acts like a battery and recharges your energy. Laying down for 15 minutes or longer and holding a Topaz is extremely beneficial. This gem is also great for soothing fears and easing digestive disorders.

And so, another month has passed and we’re halfway through the year. Enjoy the journey!
