Most people know that there is a particular crystal, or birthstone, associated with the month of their birth, but our zodiac signs - astrological birth signs - have also long been linked to semi precious crystals. These are known as zodiac birthstones. Each zodiac has several possible associated birthstones, which is why stones are often referred to as “having an affinity with”, rather than being specific to a particular zodiac sign.
