Taurus Gemstones

I have selected the Astral gemstones based on the characteristics
of each Sun sign. However, if you do not identify strongly with the
characteristics shown, it may be that the Sun is not the main
influence in your birth chart.

In this case I would suggest that you check out the other signs and
choose the gemstones for the characteristics you most identify with
or wish to enhance within yourself.
Taurus Characteristics - stubborn, cautious, materialistic, conventional, persistent,
stable, industrious, sensual, dependable and placid
Primary – Rose Quartz
I have chosen rose quartz as the primary gemstone for Taurus to encourage positive
expression of the Taurus characteristics. Taurus is a very loving sign but can be very
possessive or stubborn and rose quartz encourages unconditional love, trust, fidelity and
harmony. It is a stone of gentleness, forgiveness, compassion, kindness and tolerance.
Rose quartz can help to raise self-esteem and remove fear, resentment, unreasonable
guilt, negative emotions and anger. For Taurus it helps with the acceptance of necessary
change. It can provide reconciliation after disagreement and promote romance and
sensuality. Rose quartz also encourages fertility and is thought to be protective during
pregnancy and helpful through childbirth.

Secondary – Rhodonite
Rhodonite has similar properties to rose quartz and encourages forgiveness, self
confidence, unconditional love, and provides emotional support in times of need. It also
brings love and passion that is grounded and it strengthens friendships. Rhodonite is also
thought to help with fertility problems and reduce physical scarring. This is a very calming
stone that helps to solve conflict and bring spiritual maturity.

Opposite – Citrine
Citrine is good for reducing self-destructive tendencies and encourages feelings of self
worth, courage and self-discipline. It promotes opening up and discussing thoughts and
feelings with others and it can help to penetrate problems and find a solution. This is
important for Taurus as stubbornness can prevent them from discussing their feelings
openly. Citrine reduces extreme emotional sensitivity, dispels negative energy, calms,
soothes and helps combat depression by bringing a more light-hearted feeling. It is good
for entrepreneurs as it helps with completing tasks and it brings financial success through
achievement without focussing on materialistic possessions. Citrine is also thought to
increase psychic power. This is the primary gemstone for Scorpio.
