Gems for Aquarius

So, Aquarius. The Saturn planet have a big influence to this sign. Aquarians are usually intelligent, logical people.
Astrologer's advice is Amethyst, because sometimes Aquarius need to be calming done. It's the one of the best stone for meditation. Also you can choose diamond, garnet, zircon, lapis lazuli.
Also very helpful to wear rings with black, violet and blue gems on the middle finger.If you're very shy Aquarius :), you can wear garnet, amber or cornelian on the fourth finger or near your heart.
Cat's eye is your guard-stone.
But avoid jewelry with jacinth, pearls, spinel and chrysoberyl.
