Taurus: Lapis Lazuli


This stunning crystal has bewitched people’s hearts and minds for centuries, and is often associated with the Greek Goddess of Love, Aphrodite – who is thought to have been utterly heartbroken when another goddess fell for the man she loved.

Gemini: Magnesite


With a rich and fascinating history – dating back to the 18th century – this enchanting crystal was highly revered by the ancient Native Americans, who valued the gems so highly, they would often use them as a form of currency.

Cancer: Chrysoprase


This beautiful crystal is often associated with the Roman Goddess of Love, Venus – who is thought to have been so enraged when the Prince of Troy fell in love with her sister, she promised to help him steal her from her husband, if he’d help her win a beauty contest!

Leo: Garnet


This enchanting crystal was highly revered by the ancient Greeks, who often associated the gem with the heartbreaking story of a beautiful young goddess (Persephone) who is thought to have been abducted by the God of the Underworld (Hades).

Known as a stone of nurturing and healing, this enchanting crystal takes its name from the Aboriginal word ‘mooka’, meaning running waters, and suggests you may find yourself feeling more emotional than a Michael Bublé album this week!
