When it comes to Taurus, some may recall the story of Zeus, the mighty thunderer, transforming into a bull and abducting the beautiful Europa. Others envision a massive bull in a field, moving steadily and cutting through the earth with the plow's blade. Both perspectives are accurate: Taurus's motto is "Love and Steadfast Work!"
As an earth sign of the zodiac, Taurus has a deep connection to nature. In this regard, they resemble the famous composer Vivaldi, who considered winter to be nature's hell in his musical composition "The Four Seasons." However, spring is a different story! Even if a blizzard rages outside and the rain rustles, Taurus's soul should always be filled with visions of green meadows. Only then will they feel cheerful, calm, and capable of tackling any task.
The primary talisman gemstones for Taurus, faithful companions that will assist them, include emerald, peridot, malachite, agate, turquoise, rose quartz, aventurine, onyx, sapphire, topaz, tiger's eye, jade, and coral.
Emerald
Taurus is governed by the planet of love, the beautiful Venus. Emerald is the stone of Venus, assisting in finding and maintaining a soulmate. It is said that the ancient alchemists inscribed the essence of their teachings on emerald tablets. "Fidelity, determination, stubbornness" would be carved on Taurus's emerald tablet. With an emerald talisman, they will persistently and tirelessly pursue reciprocity in love. Once they find their partner, they will rival swans in loyalty.
Moreover, the ancient Egyptians believed that emerald held the favor of the goddess of wisdom, Isis, serving as a stone that enhances intuition. Don't be surprised if a Taurus wearing an emerald ring on their finger can interpret your dreams.
Peridot
Among the Crusaders' trophies upon their return from the campaign, there was the "evening emerald." This is the alternate name for peridot, whose main purpose is to assist men in love. It is almost certain that legendary lovers of the past, such as Don Juan and Casanova, wore jewelry with peridot! Peridot promises Taurus tirelessness in love and the favor of those around them.
Furthermore, Taurus often acts as an arbitrator in complex matters. If they seek the assistance of peridot, which protects against evil spirits, even their most entangled problems will be resolved.
Malachite
Malachite promises Taurus the attainment of wealth through hard work. This talisman stone will provide the strength for Taurus to work tirelessly and achieve brilliant results. It also instills self-assurance. Although Taurus may appear unshakable externally, their soul can be tormented by doubts. Malachite will calm Taurus, and its magical patterns will protect its owner from the evil eye, diverting the attention of adversaries.
Agate
Agate is a stone that protects its owner from evil, grants health and longevity, and also soothes anger. Taurus can be fearsome in fury, as any emotions in their soul (including negative ones) can burn long and intensely. Agate helps Taurus resist anger and maintain self-control.
Moreover, another quality of agate is particularly useful for Taurus: protection against evil and slander. It is no wonder that people used to carve seals out of this stone, seeking to safeguard their affairs.
Turquoise
Turquoise brings happiness to its owner, Taurus, through victory! This implies victory not only over adversaries but also in sports competitions or competitive struggles, in the battle for a career. Furthermore, turquoise helps attain and multiply wealth. Rest assured, a Taurus who chooses this stone as their talisman will not miss their chance and will not suffer any losses.
Rose Quartz
You have probably seen a heart-shaped pendant made of a soft pink stone. That's rose quartz. In the "Zodiac State," an edict should be issued: "All Taurus individuals must wear jewelry made of this stone!" When we raise our heads to the sky on a dark night, we see the distant Milky Way, identifying it with the journey of life. Along the way, we encounter many difficulties, and to overcome them, hope and joy are necessary. Rose quartz fills the heart of Taurus with self-assurance and faith in their future victories. With the help of this talisman, Taurus will know for certain that just beyond the bend, a well-deserved reward awaits them. And they will undoubtedly achieve it!
Aventurine
Aventurine favors those who are willing to take risks. Sometimes, in pursuit of success, Taurus takes risks and even breaks the rules. They don't watch the departing train's lights but persistently run along the platform, and in that moment, they need luck more than ever to catch the last carriage. Aventurine is the stone that grants Taurus a few seconds to jump onto the footboard while the Match Referee is distracted and doesn't notice a minor rules violation. Well, at least they pretend not to.
Onyx
Onyx brings a special kind of happiness, helping Taurus extricate themselves from troubles. Its influence is hardly noticeable in ordinary life, but under the protection of this talisman, Taurus may miraculously avoid disasters—for example, stepping away from a wall just a moment before an icicle falls from the roof. Onyx brings protection from accidents.
Sapphire
Sapphire is a stone that embodies the transparent celestial vault. But Taurus rarely dreams of the unattainable; their thoughts are grounded and tangible, something they can touch. Their celestial sphere is their family, and they are willing to work for it, sacrificing much. Usually, practical Taurus tries not to dwell on lofty matters—they are too busy, occupied with their work. A talisman with sapphire will help Taurus balance this tendency.
Moreover, this magical stone will protect them from rash actions and rid them of hidden fears. Both of these attributes are characteristic of Taurus: they may appear fearless on the surface, but in reality, they can suppress their fears internally until they become overwhelmed. Sapphire frees them from fears and doubts, urging them to move forward.
Topaz
Taurus is a great lover of beauty, always seeking to embellish their surroundings. They are usually drawn to applied arts, to everything they can touch with their hands. Taurus can sew, sculpt, paint, but they need their own ideas to avoid blindly copying others. Topaz generously rewards them with imagination. Under its influence, Taurus becomes playful, like a child, and their creative potential soars. Becoming friends with topaz, Taurus may be amazed at how well they can sew, cut, invent new styles, and choose colors!
Taurus always knows what they need to do. If you are plagued by doubts, look at the Milky Way on a dark night: on the starry road, persistent Taurus walks tirelessly. They achieve success themselves and inspire others.
Tiger's Eye
Tiger's Eye seems to be specifically created for Taurus! This stone protects diligent individuals who achieve everything on their own. Why not lend
them a helping hand? With Tiger's Eye, Taurus's chests, storerooms, and wallets fill up faster. This mineral restores energy to its wearer. Taurus is strong, but they also need to rest. With this talisman stone, both the stone and its wearer have so much to accomplish!
Nephrite
Li-Shin Go on nephrite: "A stone is just a stone, but its power is incomprehensible." The ancient Chinese poet was right: we don't know the origin of the magical energy of nephrite, but we know a lot about its amazing properties. Nephrite strives for harmony. It fills an empty niche and gives Taurus exactly what they lack. A figurine of a fish made of nephrite will help Taurus achieve wealth. With the wings of a bat made of nephrite, luck will fly to Taurus. And with a figurine of a Mandarin duck made of nephrite, true love will come to Taurus.
Coral
The Greeks claimed that red coral grew from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa after her head was severed. Taurus doesn't complain about their health. However, to prevent future complaints, they can acquire coral. This talisman will protect them from many ailments. Taurus is always busy. Symbolically speaking, representatives of this zodiac sign will be plowing their field. But to not forget about the small tasks amidst the great ones, it would be good for Taurus to acquire coral, which improves memory. Pink coral is especially suitable for Taurus.

Stones that are Contraindicated for Taurus
Taurus, the maximalist, knows no bounds! The inertia of their movement is immense: just as they don't know when to stop in work, they struggle to stop in both fun and irritation. Taurus can become seriously angered if something hinders their plans, and they may criticize people who don't assist them, considering them useless. They simply don't understand that not everyone is as strong and enduring as they are. There are stones that don't affect Taurus's positive character traits but can amplify their negative manifestations. It's necessary to be cautious with them. These stones are ruby, amber, amethyst.
- Ruby — can intensify Taurus's irritability, impatience, and dissatisfaction with others.
- Amber — can make Taurus excessively protective and overbearing towards their family and loved ones.
- Amethyst — can lead to unpredictable reactions and an inadequate assessment of situations.
Ruby
It is known that the red ruby, like blood, imparts strength to its owner. However, Taurus is already strong enough to tackle any task. With the influence of ruby, Taurus may only become more irritated, perceiving others as too slow or incompetent. Ruby would fuel the power of Taurus's anger and other negative emotions.
Amber
When you hold amber in your fist, it may seem like you're holding a little sun in your hand. But Taurus is already energetic enough! With the additional power from amber, they can become overbearing towards their loved ones. Moreover, under the influence of the sunstone, they may try to meddle in other people's affairs and solve the problems of unfamiliar individuals, even when they haven't been asked to do so.
Amethyst
Amethyst counteracts intoxication in any form, whether it's alcohol-related or the distortion of consciousness, intoxication from failures or victories. However, in the case of Taurus, the effect of this talisman stone becomes the opposite: under its influence, Taurus can become even more intoxicated by success or, conversely, become excessively relaxed and let things flow.
Silver and Gold for Taurus Jewelry
Silver
According to legend, the supreme god Zeus, who transformed into a Taurus, had a silver spot on his forehead resembling a "third eye." Silver metal in jewelry will give Taurus the ability of foresight and enhance their intuition.
Gold
In front of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, there are two sculptures: a bull and a bear. The powerful Bull, capable of "charging," symbolizes the rise in stock market reports. Taurus is generally considered the most money-oriented, "golden" sign of the zodiac: gold jewelry signifies power and strength for them. It's worth recalling the ancient Greek legend that the horns of Zeus-Taurus were made of pure gold.
Gold jewelry gives Taurus determination and strength in achieving goals, as well as promising wealth and prosperity. Sometimes circumstances pile up from all sides. A representative of any other zodiac sign would give up, their legs would be trembling, and it would seem like they would collapse. But Taurus, against all odds, slowly raises its mighty neck. The sun plays on their golden horns.
