Cancer birthstones

Each sign of the Zodiac has its patron stones. Precious stones are worn less often, in special cases. That is why the semi-precious ones, which can be worn constantly, are more important in everyday life.

The universal stones, patrons of all Cancer people, are emerald, ruby, natural pearls, moonstone, and heliotrope.

Clear Quartz

According to one legend, it was used as a remedy for several internal diseases, especially heart disease. It is usually used placed under the tongue. In other places, such as talismans in the form of crystal balls, this quartz has been recommended against all sorts of misfortunes, especially in turmoil and in the treatment of certain diseases of livestock. Clear Quartz talismans were considered a necessary prop in divination and sorcery. It was also believed that the mountain crystal helps to preserve the purity of the soul and brings joy to its owners. As a talisman, it strengthens perseverance.
