Zodiac Signs and Precious Gem Stones

List of the gem stones identified with each month and zodiacal sign and the reason for this superstition

The following list comprises the twelve stones of the amulet, with their zodiacal signs and the months of the year to which they corresponded:-

Garnet Aquarius January.

Amethyst Pisces February.

Jasper Aries March.

Sapphire Taurus April.

Agate Gemini May.

Emerald Cancer June.

Onyx Leo July.

Cornelian Virgo August.

Chrysolite Libra September.

Aquamarine Scorpio October.

Topaz Sagittarius November.

Ruby Capricornus December.

It is exceedingly probable that the origin of this superstition is to be traced to the twelve precious stones contained in the breast-plate of the Jewish high-priest.

Traces of sacred, poetic, astrological, and medical mineralogy frequently appear collectively, or in turn, in the treatises-even the most scientific-that, from the time of Homer until now, have been written upon precious stones.
