Your Astral Stone and What It Means
July 10, 2015
Many are aware of their birthstone—the gemstone that represents the month of your birth. However, fewer are aware that there is a gemstone or crystal associated with their zodiac sign. These are called your astral stone and can be a powerful tool to achieve health, wellness and balance in your life.
