How to choose your stone?
First of all, I recommend deciding what you need a gem for. By understanding the purpose, it is much easier to choose your stone. If the task is related to improving the state of health, then the stone must necessarily touch the body. And this automatically discards jewelry such as earrings, because. in them, the stone will not be able to constantly be in contact with the body.
Next, you should decide on the budget that you are willing to spend on buying a stone. Stones and crystals are divided* into:
Gemstones by date of birth:
diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, alexandrite, spinel, padparadscha, sea natural pearls, demantoid, tsavorite, black opal, tanzanite, tourmaline,
stellate corundum, topaz, aquamarine, sparrowite, zircon, rubellite, opals, phenakite, garnet, rhodolite, topazolite, ametrine, river natural pearls, saltwater cultured pearls, heliodor, etc.
Semi-precious stones by date of birth:
charoite, sugilite, malachite, turquoise, jadeite, lapis lazuli, jade, rhodonite, rhodochrosite, dumortierite, rose quartz, mammoth and ivory, coral, amber, agate, chrysoprase, carnelian, carnelian, sardier, sapphirine, onyx, heliotrope, sodalite, eudialyte, chrysocolla, azurite, rock crystal, smoky quartz, amazonite, jasper, labradorite, spectrolite, belomorite, sunstone, moonstone (adularia), iridescent nepheline (eleolite), jade, larimar, tugtupite, petalite, quartz – granular, icy , fragmentary, etc.
Ornamental stones by date of birth:
jasper monophonic, striped; inscribed granite, petrified wood, cacholong, marble onyx, obsidian, selenite, clinochlore, fluorite, serpentinite, jet, shungite, thulite, patterned skarn, decorative quartzite, ophiocalcite, agalmatolite, talkochlorite, goldite, patterned flint, conglomerate, breccia, decorative porphyry etc.
* There are several classifications in the world, I just gave the shortest list for general understanding.
Each of the categories has a certain value fork. For example, a 1 carat quality yellow sapphire starts at $1,000 (on average). A high-quality heliodor from $100.
So, you have an understanding of the purpose of your stone by date of birth and an approximate budget that you are willing to spend. Next, I will tell you the method of selecting a gemstone by date of birth.
Stone by date of birth
To select your stone by date of birth, you need to do the following:
- For each digit of the date of your birth: year, month, day, lunar day, day of the week, time of birth – write out favorable stones (see tables below)
- We remove potentially dangerous stones for your zodiac sign from the list
- If the Sun is in position to the Ascendant , then we exclude the stones of the sign in which the Sun is located in your horoscope, (see description below)
- Highlight stones that are worn repeatedly – these stones can be worn, but it is not advisable to mix them in one piece of jewelry.
And if you need a gem amulet by date of birth, then move on. Be sure to take into account the stones that suit you according to the Ascendant . The ascendant is the constellation that was rising at the time of your birth. It is also called the Moon sign of the zodiac (popularly).
The position of this constellation reveals a lot of information about how the vibrations of your subtle body interact with the energy of the stones. And in those cases when the Sun is located in relation to the Ascendant (Moon sign of the zodiac) at 90 or 180 degrees, i.e. receives a tense aspect, then this stone is not suitable for an amulet. It can be used for protection in society or specific cases, but it is dangerous for permanent protection. And if the Sun is located at an angle of 60 or 120 degrees to the Ascendant, then you can safely use the stones of the Moon sign of the zodiac.

Bottom line, how to choose a gemstone by date of birth
You have a list of auspicious stones:
- by date of birth – for the year, month, day, day of the week and time of birth
- according to the Ascendant (Moon sign) + stones according to the lunar day
- Potentially dangerous stones have been removed from this list: when aspecting 90 or 180 degrees of the Sun to the Ascendant, there are no unfriendly signs for your zodiac
Next, we leave those that occur several times – and these stones can be used as a talisman by date of birth!

How to do this, I give full instructions. And for this you just need to order the service of individual selection of stone:
