Bold as thieves, brave as warriors, combining imagination and action, can Gemini sit still for long? Their patron is Mercury, favorable to thieves and traders. Their valor is accompanied by indecisiveness, and their willingness to help borders on cunning. Both contradictions and the same constellation reside within them. The first star in it is called Castor, the other is Pollux. Their name is the Gemini Dioscuri. Their motto is "Duality."
Restless Geminis rush to perform heroic feats! Assisting them in this are their talismanic stones, the main ones being: opal, onyx, agate, citrine, beryl, amethyst, topaz, tiger's eye, chrysoprase, moonstone, rhodonite.
Opal
The Greeks named opal "the eye-striker," while the Romans offered their own name for it, "the bewitching sight." This talismanic stone has contradictory fame: some consider it a symbol of loyalty and hope, while others call it a stone of illusory hopes.
It is no challenge for Geminis to charm their conversational partners, and having opal as a talisman enhances their charm even more. But will the hopes placed on Geminis by others be fulfilled? It's uncertain. However, Geminis themselves will certainly achieve their goals! Who could refuse them when they ask for a favor alongside their opal?
Onyx
Onyx is the stone of artists, with its mesmerizing patterns. Benvenuto Cellini saw in onyx the scene of the "Last Supper"! Geminis are artists at heart too; their canvas is life itself, and they paint their actions and adventures upon it. However, Geminis don't dwell too much on the plot. Onyx helps them shape events and bring order to their lives.
Practically speaking, this talismanic stone protects Geminis from fire and madness—a fitting quality for Geminis who don't know from which direction the "fire" might come, whether it's from faulty wiring in their home or from within their own minds.
Agate
Each Zodiac sign seeks resonance in its talismanic stone. Those seeking eloquence turn to agate. Geminis already have an easy rapport with people, but for those who choose communication and the gift of persuasion as their profession (such as politicians, psychologists, lecturers, and many others), the highest level of eloquence is necessary!
Agate bestows longevity and helps Geminis maintain a remarkable memory. Additionally, it can provide strength to win in athletic competitions. These qualities of the talismanic stone will be especially beneficial for Geminis.
Citrine
Society may have a biased view of gambling, but who do you think casinos were built for? The gallant Chevalier de Saint-Gaultier and Dostoevsky were frequent visitors at the green tables. The Chevalier surely had a citrine talisman, while Dostoevsky did not. The Chevalier won, and Dostoevsky wrote a great novel, so in the end, neither of them ended up losing.
Geminis are very daring and ready to take risks—not only in games but in life as well. Citrine is that talismanic stone that slightly enhances the luck of Geminis, helping them come out unscathed when their boat has to navigate the most dangerous rapids.
Beryl
If Geminis, for some reason, seek a calm life, they should choose beryl as their talisman. It is a stone of family hearth and coziness. When tired of adventures, Geminis will find refuge at home, where they are loved and surrounded with care. In their fortress, they can engage in creativity, as beryl patronizes artists.
If Geminis have no artistic ambitions, beryl will help them enjoy tranquility while sitting in a chair by the fireplace and dreaming of future adventures.
Amethyst
Amethyst is a stone that helps avoid intoxication. In the case of Geminis, it's not just about Bacchus and the vine; it's highly beneficial for them to keep a clear head in their pursuits.
Additionally, Geminis can't sit still for long; they always yearn for adventure, in search of the Golden Fleece! In this case, an amethyst talisman is also indispensable for them. It will protect Geminis from injuries and bad weather; with it, they can take shelter from heavy rain in the doorway without getting pricked by old railings.
When thunder roars, the stone will calm the anxieties of Geminis. When clouds disperse, revealing clear skies, the talisman with amethyst will inspire Geminis with positive thoughts, filling them with energy before a new expedition, this time farther than the neighboring doorway. It will also protect them from the evil eye, even on the other side of the world.
Topaz
Topaz is a stone that protects against missteps (including infidelity in love) and brings calmness and clear-mindedness. Under the influence of topaz, Geminis can calm their nerves. They are always a bit on edge: emotions in the stands at a football match are like electric discharges, and even in the boss's office, there is high voltage.
Topaz will safeguard Geminis from nervous disorders. Most importantly, this talismanic stone will help them experience the fullness of happiness. After roaming the world (or spending the whole day with friends at the stadium) and returning excited and tired to the place where they are awaited, the past, still bubbling, gradually recedes, and under the influence of topaz, harmony and tranquility settle in their souls.
Tiger's Eye
Geminis are very resourceful. In between saving friends and running marathons, they enjoy arranging their surroundings. Tiger's Eye will help them create a cozy atmosphere at home and work, as well as balance their finances. It is a warm and comforting stone.
Chrysoprase
If chrysoprase could ask Geminis what they would like to receive as a gift from it—hope, success, or wisdom—they would undoubtedly, like Alexander the Great, choose success! The great military commander wore chrysoprase in his belt.
So it shall be. At first, Geminis will ask for success in all their endeavors, and then they will consider hope. And at that moment, the talisman with chrysoprase will gift them with wisdom. "Seek wisdom in the sunny beginning," advises Omar Khayyam to Geminis and representatives of other zodiac signs.
Moonstone
Moonstone is considered the patron stone of doctors, artists, and educators. It's hard to say what unites these professions. Perhaps it's the detached perspective and the ability to do one's job without false compassion. "Do what you must, and be what will be"—various versions of this phrase have been attributed to different people, including the Latins and the samurai. In our case, it becomes the motto of Geminis when they choose moonstone as their talismanic helper.
Rhodonite
Rhodonite takes Geminis under its patronage. This talisman opens up Geminis to their talents. A person is successful only when they engage in what they love. Rhodonite will help Geminis discover themselves and find their path to success.

Gemstones that are not recommended for Geminis
The main complaint others have about Geminis is their duality. However, what others call "duality," Geminis see as a broad-minded perspective. It is said that Geminis can be stingy, but others forget about the generosity with which representatives of this Zodiac sign have helped others.
Every negative trait in Geminis has a bright opposite that usually prevails in the generous nature of Geminis. However, to avoid strengthening the qualities that Geminis may struggle with, they should avoid contact with ruby, garnet, and sapphire.
- Sapphire can make Geminis arrogant.
- Ruby will amplify all character traits, including the negative ones.
- Garnet will develop selfishness and adventurous tendencies.
Sapphire
Sapphire, symbolizing supreme power and spirituality, activates Geminis' desire to showcase their knowledge to others. This desire can lead to showing off: quoting out of context, using scientific terminology known only to a narrow circle. Under the influence of sapphire, Geminis, who are charming and intelligent conversationalists, may turn into snobs whose speech is incomprehensible to others.
Ruby
What will passionate ruby lead Geminis to? Geminis are already ready to jump up at night and embark on adventures in bad weather. Legends circulate about their mobility! Enhanced by ruby, they may even learn to fly through the air. However, along with tirelessness and curiosity, under the influence of ruby, some of Geminis' not-so-positive traits can be amplified—for example, their tendency toward thriftiness may turn into greed.
Garnet
Garnet can disrupt the balance between material and spiritual aspects for Geminis. This gemstone has the ability to turn adventurers into treasure hunters. Geminis may start resembling pirates or the characters from Ilf and Petrov's novel "The Twelve Chairs". Instead of broad-mindedness, their focus will shift towards adventurism and selfishness.
Silver and Gold for Gemini Jewelry
Gemstones in jewelry are inseparable from their beautiful settings, usually made of silver or gold. How does the metal influence Geminis? What additional properties does it impart to the gem set in it?
Silver
The great psychologist Carl Jung claimed that the dual nature of Mercury has both an airy and a metallic (like silver) character. In this case, the air refers to the spirit, while silver represents matter. For Geminis, who are under the patronage of Mercury, silver jewelry can help achieve inner harmony.
Gold
As it is known, the god Mercury, the patron of Geminis, stole golden bow and arrows from Apollo. This act was more of a mischievous demonstration of divine capabilities. Moreover, Mercury is depicted as a god of trade with a large purse filled with gold coins. Gold jewelry can help Geminis under the patronage of Mercury unlock their potential and learn the art of persuasion, which is important for them not only in business but also in any other endeavor.
