Totems, charms, amulets, fortune-telling stones - since ancient times, people have been looking for patrons and defenders, turning to the inanimate and endowing unusual objects with power. The ancients were not mistaken in their belief in the powerful power of stones and their ability to influence man. Until now, there are several hypotheses that help determine your stone and use its power for your own good.
In theory
Astrology studies the properties of precious, semi-precious, ornamental stones. This science allows you to find out the compatibility of stones, their interaction with a person and the nuances dictated by the factors by which, in fact, satellite stones are selected.
It is worth distinguishing in advance between talismans and amulets. If the former are aimed at the inner world of the wearer, are able to improve his character traits, to bring talents to a new level, then the latter are designed to interact with energy from the outside, because protect from the evil eye, influence the emotional background of the people around, etc.
Stone selection criteria
The first, but not the only selection criterion is the owner's sympathy for the future amulet. If you don't like the stone, then whatever the forecasts and horoscopes say, it will not work in full force. The second criterion is considered to be the color of the owner's eyes. The simplest rule: a combination of colors and shades. Green-eyed - malachite, adeksandrite, chrysoprase; blue-eyed - turquoise, shading yellow stones; brown and black eyes require rich or contrasting tones (aventurine, amber, carnelian).
Another possibility of choosing a protective mineral is its combination with the elements. Stones patronizing water and water signs of the Zodiac (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), iridescent and shiny: aventurine, opal. For fire (and Aries, Lviv, Streltsov), transparent, noble stones are suitable: emeralds, sapphires, rubies, aquamarine, topaz, amethyst. Earth (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) is combined only with opaque stones: malachite, jasper, lapis lazuli. But the air (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) perfectly coexists with smoky stones: jade, onyx, amethyst, carnelian, etc. This classification can be expanded by moving on to specific signs of the Zodiac.
It is also customary to choose stones by date of birth. For each month, for the day a person was born, even for the day of the week, there is a certain patron stone. Sometimes it is combined with the month and day when the stone is planned to be most actively used.
A very simple classification of suitable stones is made based on their general properties. If you wish loyalty - pomegranates, adventure - aventurine, flourishing of talent - cat's eye, etc.
You can choose a stone relative to the name, that is, on the basis of the characteristics of the name and the need to highlight or soothe a particular character trait. But the most important thing when choosing a stone is personal love for it. Truly your own stone is one that catches the eye and stands out among all with its beauty.
