Ever wondered what crystal is your twin flame? From carnelian for fiery Aries to serene jasper for steady Taurus, discover which one you need to raise good vibes. Go on, get grounded.

Powerful, fiery and filled with vitality, carnelian is the geological twin flame to the zodiac’s spiciest sign, Aries. Its vibrant red color comes from the stone’s high iron content, which causes the crystal to radiate an intense frequency that brings healing, courage, creativity and spiritual growth to those around it. Like the unapologetically bold sign, carnelian is perfectly suited for situations that require bravery, passion and energy. Especially useful for artists, performers and those interested in deep inner exploration, carnelian can help you deepen your connection with yourself and approach situations with confidence, creativity and a certain je ne sais quoi. But be warned, the stone is believed to intensify heightened emotions and is even said to disturb sleep patterns, so avoid the natural material when you’re under stress, filled with anger, or about to hit the hay. So, passionate Aries, proceed with caution when handling this stone, but let it remind you to never dull your inner power.

There’s no need to fret, steady Taurus, because jasper agrees – we should all take it easy. Forming in a vast array of mesmerizing colors and designs, the stone is believed to absorb negative energy, reduce stress and deliver a sense of wholeness to anyone in its presence. Just as you love to unwind with your favorite book or reality show, Jasper echoes your goals of inner healing and serenity by promoting tranquility and balance. The stone also mimics your “I’ve got your back” energy, as it cultivates loyalty, emotional intelligence and harmony in relationships. The most fabulous part? Jasper shares your penchant for the finer things in life. Its rarest forms can sport an incredibly high price point, and the stone is often used in fashion for its intricate patterns and vivid hues. So, when you’re not donning a striking jasper necklace at your next gala, place the stone in your pocket to experience its healing, balanced energy during your routine relaxation sessions. Taking notes from your laidback attitude, jasper comes in peace.

Here’s the tea. Aquamarine, the sparkling and playful gemstone known to enhance communication, is the perfect sidekick to the clever and charming Gemini. Almost as dazzling as you, the sky blue gem allows you to seamlessly convey messages by emitting calming energies that enhance clarity and quiet the mind of distractions. Gemini is a sign famous for its keen intelligence, quick wit and boundless imagination, so we know your mind is always on the go. Whether you’re inventing creative solutions or crafting the perfect punchline, Aquamarine’s tranquil nature will keep you free of nerves and sharp as a tack. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of curiosity and discourse, it’s true that a Gemini can work a room with ease. However, your lingual aptitude can sometimes bring you to a state of frustration if your conversation partner lacks your characteristic banter. Aquamarine is believed to inspire tolerance and encourage us to overcome judgment, so keep the gem close if you’re looking to open your heart to those that don’t match your pace. We can’t all have your infectious humor and ingenious ideas, we’re only human! Thankfully, aquamarine is not. 

Known as the love stone, rose quartz is the perfect partner for a Cancer, the most tender-hearted sign of the zodiac. Known to encourage compassion, creativity and empathy, there's a reason the well-known gem is one of the most popular choices for crystal lovers worldwide. In addition to supporting emotional wellbeing and opening the heart chakra, some traditions even believe that the stone can make you more beautiful by brightening the skin and cleansing your aura so that onlookers find you more attractive. Talk about self-care! Cancer is regarded as the most affectionate and connection-oriented sign of the zodiac, as you highly value the importance of friends, family and romantic love. Like a hug in geological form, rose quartz will facilitate the sanctity of these relationships, and even amend the relationship you have with yourself. By inspiring feelings of belonging and emitting energy that soothes emotional wounds, rose quartz can be used to love yourself with the same passion and commitment you so generously give to others. If only a rock could hold us when we cry…

Bold, strong and known to ignite courage, tiger's eye is most certainly a Leo.

It is also believed to have grounding properties, so if you’re already at the top, the stone can gently bring you back to Earth. With the sun as your ruling planet, you’re drawn to the spotlight and emanate a natural radiance that few can ignore, so hang on to a tiger’s eye and watch in awe as the stone allows you to fully step into your personal power.

Always looking towards self-improvement, the diligent and intelligent Virgo meets its other half in jade, a gemstone known for its ability to inspire personal growth, good health and confidence. The grounding stone is believed to bring prosperity, stability and luck to any humans it encounters, making it the perfect crystal for the goal-oriented sign. You have an unmatched ability to achieve the impossible while maintaining humility, patience and kindness, and jade wants to facilitate your gentle yet powerful energy by warding off negativity and enhancing your natural talents.

We get it, everyone likes you. While it may feel isolating to be the most popular person at every party, amethyst understands your pain. As the most social sign of the zodiac finally, you’ll finally meet your match in the crystal known for its beauty and keen ability to allure the masses. The violet gemstone has been utilized throughout history for its ability to create harmony, inspire confidence and ignite higher consciousness.

It radiates the same gentle aura that attracts people from all walks of life into your orbit, cultivating a safe and inviting space for affection and companionship. So, yes, a rock may be just as good as making friends as you are, but your diplomatic nature can surely accept the success of another superstar.

Seeped in transformative power that can be equally positive and chaotic, the moldavite is Scorpio in geological form. Echoing the abilities of this mysterious sign, the gemstone is, quite literally, out of this world. Unlike the other crystals on this list, moldavite isn’t a naturally occurring phenomenon on Earth. About 15 million years ago, a meteorite struck an area in western Bavaria, creating an incredible impact that caused the formation of the olive green, glass-like tektite. Also known for their intense impact, Scorpios have a natural energy and intuition that feels palpably supernatural. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of life and death, Scorpios are in a constant state of transformation, experiencing multiple spiritual deaths and rebirths throughout their lives. As a self-actualized Scorpio, you will find that your power is magnetically enhanced when wearing this mystical gemstone, allowing you to fearlessly approach challenges and uncover your true destiny. Additionally, many ancient cultures believe that moldavite can bend the wills of the universe in your favor — but only if you’re ready for the ride. Incredibly potent, passionate and mystical, moldavite is nothing to play around with, but that’s probably what all of your exes say about you.

As evidenced by the name, aventurine is the divine counterpart to the adventurous Sagittarius.

By adding aventurine to your crystal collection, your personal magnetism is destined to multiply exponentially. You love to take on novel experiences that expand your spirit, and aventurine wants to be right there with you, elevating your inherent charm, passion and energy. Keep the stone close while embarking on one of your many quests and you might just stumble upon the love of your life, a new sense of purpose or maybe, if you’re really lucky, the best ice cream shop in town. You’re welcome.

Who knew a stone could put in as much work as you do, dear Capricorn? Known to enhance drive, decisiveness and career success, the blue sapphire is the kindred spirit of the zodiac’s 10th sign.
