Taurus Birthstone and Lucky Gemstones

Ruled by the planet Venus, Taurus is symbolized by silent, strong and ambitious personalities, realistic and ready to take action at any time.

The natives of the sign of Taurus are beautiful personalities, stubborn and with a sharp practical sense, similar to those in the sign of the virgin. Bulls are talented and hardworking artists, who are endowed by nature with tenacity, inspiration and organizational spirit. They are strong and dominant. They have a deep intuition and a strong sense of justice.

Bulls like to be the center of attention, and are always looking for opportunities to be noticed by those around them. By nature they are down to earth and tend to move slowly but surely towards the goals they are pursuing, using brute force or their own strategy.

Bulls have practical and wise thinking, and are the ones that family or friends go to for advice or a second opinion.

The color that suits the bulls

green

It is the color that nourishes the spirit of Taurus and strengthens their connection with nature and the rhythm of life. Green represents growth and progress. The raw green of spring, the season of those born in this sign, enriches their connection with the world around them.

Therefore, the main stone of the sign is the emerald, known for channeling the energies of the planet Venus, the ruling planet of the sign.

The secondary stones of the Taurus sign are also spectacular: pink quartz, sapphire, then agate, malachite and jade.

Agates are the most popular varieties of chalcedony. They have been discovered since the Neolithic in the waters of the river Achates in Sicily and have been used to make jewelry from the time of the pharaohs to the present day. Due to their variety, agates have been popular over the centuries, both for their distinctive beauty and for their spiritual properties. Formed in mineral environments, most often found in volcanic rocks, each agate is a unique specimen, but fortunately, in a wealth of specimens and colors.

Another stone associated with the planet Venus and therefore the lucky stone of those born in the sign of Taurus. Aventurine is a variety of quartz characterized by an opalescent luster with small luminous inclusions that lends the stone a luster called aventurine, visible especially when polished. The name aventurine comes from the Italian a ventura or all’avventura , and was in the 18th century the name of a special kind of glass, produced by Italian craftsmen who accidentally dropped metal fragments in a molten glass furnace which, when cold, it had iridescent sparkles. The bottle was used in jewelry making and when this stone was later discovered, it was called aventurine.
