Scorpio: October 24- November 22
Magnetite, obsidian, smoky quartz, jasper and aquamarine are all associated with the Scorpion, while November is associated with topaz. Mars and Pluto are the associated planets.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is usually a blue-green color, but can also be yellow and is another “exam stone”, said to banish nerves and fear and protect the wearer from poisons, it is most often used for ridding a person of unhappiness. Aquamarine is stone of happiness in marriage and well being, bringing clarity of mind and purpose to its wearer.
Aquamarine is also reputed to help with glandular problems disorders of the throat, stomach and eyes and fluid-retention. Often used in meditation, Aquamarine from beryl family is thought to protect the wearer from accidents, especially when traveling by sea.
To increase the power of this stone, it should be worn with the carbuncle (for information on carbuncle please visit my Gems for Aries page).
Obsidian
Black Obsidian Tree- $160
Obsidian is volcanic lava and is often used to improve poor eyesight. Considered to be a “male” stone, probably because when cut and polished it makes effective spearheads and knife blades. It is said to help those embarking upon a spiritual quest, keeping energies stable and clearing blockages. Those who wear/keep Obsidian will never shed tears of grief. Reputed to be a powerful healer, this is another gemstone, which needs to be used wisely and only by those capable of dealing with its power.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz has for generations been considered a good luck charm or talisman, often being given to soldiers about to go into battle. And aid in relieving negativity and promoting relaxation, this is another gemstone often used in meditation, and if kept under a pillow at night, it is said to induce lucid dreams.
The ancients considered the Smoky Quartz helpful in cases of infertility.
Natural radioactive materials produce a word of warning concerning Smoky Quartz - genuine Smoky Quartz. However, it can also be man–made, in which case it is usually very dark or black. True Smoky Quartz should be brown. It is always preferable to use the natural stone, as man-made stones do not have the same qualities and healing properties will be impaired.
Magnetite
Magnetite is not often used, but is particularly useful in cases of rheumatism. Said to be an energy restorer, this black stone is sometimes also called “lodestone” and is useful for meditation, as an aid in acquiring wisdom and intuition. It may also be able to help in cases of liver problems and even in premature baldness.
Topaz
Topaz also associated with November and with Jupiter, is a stone with a wide tradition of application- ranging from childbirth to warding off the plague. It is found in pink, yellow, green, blue or white forms.
Topaz can be changed by heat, pressure and friction, and is a stone exhibiting strong electric currents. Said to be able to detoxify the body and regenerate organs and glands, the stone helps to soothe and give inner peace to those with problems. Affected by the phases of the moon, it reputedly helps wit eye disorders, cures baldness, prevents asthma and helps with sleep disorders when used as a gem elixir. Said to promise its owner a long and happy life, it is associated with faithfulness. Eastern mystics believe it helps ease the pain of death and enables those who use it during meditation to see into the future.
Tradition suggests that if it is worn on the left hand side of the body it can help overcome grief and if worn over the stomach it will protect the wearer from stomach disorders by calming negative emotions. Since ancient times it has been used to help with female disorder, lung complaints, epilepsy, bladder troubles and problems with the nose and throat. The amethystine sapphire will increase the power of the topaz.
Lucky and unlucky stones.
Many stones are considered to be lucky and since early times have been used as means of protection. For those people interested in astrology, having considered the stones mentioned for their signs, it is worth pointing out that some sources believe that some stones are to be avoided at all costs.
For example:
Cancer- avoid opal and lapis lazuli.
Other traditional suggestions include linking lucky stones with hours of the day and days of the week.
