Use with care

Some stones are thought to amplify Gemini's tendencies a little too much. These aren't rules, just traditional cautions worth knowing.

Pyrite

Pyrite: Extra mental stimulation can scatter an already busy Gemini mind; tradition suggests calming stones instead.

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz: Amplifies everything, including restlessness, so programme it with a clear intention.

To balance, tradition reaches for Howlite, Amethyst.

Planet, element & birthstones

Ruling planet: Mercury. Mercury governs the mind and communication; agates, citrine and clear, quick stones are often paired with it.
