What is the Aries Birthstone?

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. The Aries birthstone is the Diamond. The Diamond is a solid form of carbon and is one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world. The diamond means clarity, truth, and vision. Those born between March 20th to April 21st are Aries. Aries element is fire and its ruling planet is Mars. The symbol of Aries is the ram.

The Royal Sign of Power

Quick to speak their mind, always up for a little healthy competition, and ever driven to success, the Aries star sign is all action. Being the first of the zodiac signs it comes as no surprise that Aries has a zest for being number one. These energetic and ambitious Aries individuals are all up for taking a leap into the unknown. Ruled by the planet Mars, it’s worth remembering that in mythology Mars was the god of war. This ancient Roman deity was demanding, fiery, passionate, and ever ready to lay waste to those who stood in his way. While the modern-day Aries isn’t quite as destructive, they do adore a good debate and will go to great lengths to prove themselves right no matter how frustrated their audience may be.

But it’s not all war and destruction when it comes to Aries. Those born under the banner of fire are beautifully passionate, brimming with life, and have a glorious big heart and generous spirit to match. Being bold in life and love and with the ram as the symbol of their house its no surprise that Aries are somewhat considered pioneers of life. They are groundbreakers and always up for whatever adventure comes their way. Finding zodiac birthstones that match the mood of the Aries horoscope means finding healing gemstones and crystals that can help Aries stay safe in the face of recklessness, keep calm energy when it comes to competition, and learn the power of gentle communication to keep relationships shining bright.

Aventurine

Ruby 

Aglow with the flame of passion and purity, the Ruby gemstone is another sun stone that stays close and radiant in its relationship to the ruling planet of Mars. As mentioned, Aries tend to focus their attention inwards quite a lot and pour most of their energy into self-serving behavior.

Cleansing healing stones is super easy – one of the safest ways to do it is to smudge with sage or run quickly under tepid water and let the stored-up energy flow away. To recharge your stones you can simply leave it in the company of other quartzes known for spreading light and lovely energy or you can leave your stone in soil, in a slant of sunlight or shimmer of soft moonlight.
