Crystals for Gemini
Is it just me or has the energy been MOVING since we moved into Gemini Season?
Gemini is all about EXPANSION, inwardly and outwardly: meeting new people, trying new things, going new places, making new friends.
Even my burnt-out introvert self is feeling it.
As we’ve just had our Gemini New Moon, it’s time for what is very quickly becoming my very favorite monthly routine:
The launch of my Journaling Prompts for Gemini Season PDF Download, and the accompanying Crystals for Gemini Season blog post (this blog post).
As a quick recap, just incase you’re jumping in with this post, the purpose of this series is to give a more detailed background on the crystals that I chose for my Crystals for Gemini jewelry collection. If you want to catch up on the previous editions, you can read the posts for Aries Season here and the post for Taurus Season here.
Zoisite
There are many crystals associated with growth, but Zoisite is definitely my favorite, because it’s not just about growth in general, it’s about unlimited, exponential growth. Growth like you’ve never experienced before. Now I don’t know about you, but so far this Gemini Season I have been stretched like never before (and that’s really saying a lot). This is where a really special thing about Zoisite comes in handy: she often contains inclusions of Ruby, which we all love as a stone of confidence and vitality, just the things we need when we’re going through these periods of expansion and the inevitable growing pains that come with them. And I mean, what could possibly me more appropriate for Gemini Season than a stone that is two stones at the same time???
Dalmatian Jasper
What is a Gemini if not the ultimate social butterfly, the expert networker, and the host with the most? I think we can all agree that this is our favorite thing about Gemini (I may be a bit biased here because my family has a disproportionate amount of Geminis). Unfortunately, sometimes this comes with the… less positive stereotype of Gemini being… flaky? two-faced? Not even always in a malicious way just in a… social chameleon kind of way? This is was a big reason that I picked Dalmatian Jasper for the Crystals for Gemini collection: Dalmatian Jasper is a stone of friendship. Of true friendship. Dalmatian Jasper is here to support the humor and loyalty that creates a solid, lasting bond between friends.
Clear Quartz
Gemini season is a time when things get going fast. Honestly, now that I think about it it really makes sense that this is also the season of graduations and weddings and big life events (and in my family, basically EVERY PERSON’S BIRTHDAY). For Gemini placements, I’m going to assume this acceleration of activity feels natural, but that’s definitely not the case for all of us (ahem, me). And our good friend Clear Quartz is here for all of us. Clear quartz is kind of seen as the main, entry level crystal, and not in a dismissive way but in a, yeah actually this is the stone to start with because it is the stone EVERYONE needs. Why? Because it doesn’t matter what’s going on or what you need, Clear Quartz is there to support you by boosting the energy you NEED, whatever that may be.
Hematite
Ok so I feel like this one is going to need a little more explanation. Because I’m over here with Hematite (a dark, heavy stone that contains iron) as a stone that I hand-picked through careful research for Gemini (a mutable air sign). But hear me out, ok: speaking from experience as a fellow Air sign, and please bear in mind I say this with all of the love in my heart: SOMETIMES THE ENERGY IS JUST A LITTLE CHAOTIC. Hematite is a stone that’s all about peace and grounding and balance and stability, but in a very gentle way. I think Gemini season is quick to get out of control, and Hematite is the perfect stone to kind of… keep us a little closer to earth.
Blue Apatite
Look if there’s one thing about Geminis it’s that they have the gift of gab. This kind of circles back to that thing about how it’s really fitting that this is the season of big social engagements… So I thought it was important to round out the Gemini Season crystals with Blue Apatite, because maybe we can sometimes use a little support to make sure that all that social chatter isn’t just noise. Blue Apatite is the perfect stone for this: she’s a stone that supports clear communication, and, as an added bonus, she’s also a big energy boost to make sure we get the things we want to get done, done. And what’s a Gemini’s second most favorite thing besides doing a million things.
Gemini season really seems to be the time of the year where the pace seems to REALLY pick up (do not ask me how many commitments I have had pretty much every day lately or I will cry), which for some of us is thrilling and for some of us can feel more overwhelming.
When I initially put together my Crystals for Gemini jewelry collection in 2020, I was only thinking about crystals to help support Gemini placements, but over the past three-four years since I initially launched the collection, I realized, these are the stones we all need for Gemini Season.
