Gemstones for Aquarius

Aquarius is the zodiac sign of freedom, ideas and innovation. If you were born between January 20 and February 18, you probably recognize the urge to do things differently from everyone else, but also the feeling that your mind sometimes moves faster than your body. The gemstones that suit Aquarius bring clarity and calm to the mind, support communication and help you keep both feet on the ground. Below you can read what characterizes Aquarius and which stones suit this sign best.

The Zodiac Sign Aquarius

Aquarius is known as original, independent and progressive. People with this zodiac sign like to think outside the box, are curious about everything new and have a strong sense of justice and freedom. They are social and engaged with the world around them, but like to keep some distance when things get too close. The flip side is that Aquarius can come across as aloof or headstrong, and with all those ideas in the head can lose touch with the body. The main characteristics of Aquarius:

  • Original and inventive
  • Independent and freedom loving
  • Social and idealistic
  • Intelligent and curious
  • Headstrong
  • Sometimes aloof
  • Restless mind


Air: The Element of Aquarius

Aquarius belongs to the element Air, which explains much of its character. Air stands for thinking, communication and movement: ideas come quickly and want to be shared. Aquarius therefore lives mostly in the mind and needs room to think freely. That is exactly why clear, calming stones suit Aquarius so well: they bring order to the stream of thoughts, while grounding stones make sure all those ideas actually land.
