Gemstones for Virgo
Virgo is the zodiac sign of precision, care and sound judgment. If you were born between August 23 and September 22, you probably recognize how good you are at organizing and improving, but also how hard you can be on yourself when something is not perfect. The gemstones that suit Virgo bring calm to the mind, soften the inner critic and help you enjoy what is already good. Below you can read what characterizes Virgo and which stones suit this sign best.
The Zodiac Sign Virgo
Virgo is known as careful, helpful and analytical. People with this zodiac sign have an eye for detail, like to work in a structured way and are there for others with practical help rather than big words. They are modest, reliable and think before they act. The flip side is that Virgo worries quickly, demands a lot of itself and others and gets lost in what could have been better. Relaxing and being content with the result is the biggest challenge for this sign. The main characteristics of Virgo:
- Careful and structured
- Helpful and reliable
- Analytical and sensible
- Modest and down to earth
- Perfectionist
- Self critical
- Prone to worrying
Earth: The Element of Virgo
Virgo belongs to the element Earth, which explains much of its character. Earth stands for the practical, the tangible and carefully building something that works. Virgo therefore lives from the mind and the hands, and feels best when everything is right and in order. That is exactly why green and grounding stones suit Virgo so well: they strengthen the natural calm and overview, while soft stones help switch off the mind now and then and be gentler with yourself.
