Virgo Birthstones
- Main: Carnelian
- Alternate: Jade, Jasper, Moss agate & Blue sapphire
- Planetary: Citrine
- Talismanic: Zircon
Sard / Carnelian
Sard is the original birthstone for Virgo. This Virgo birthstone is the brownish red variety of chalcedony, and reproduces the earthy color of the zodiac sign.
Sard is believed to sharpen the wits of its wearer, and render him chaste and humble. These metaphysical properties are rather representative of Virgo, who is analytical, cautious and realistic in nature.

More important to the Virgo-born is sard’s ability to render him fearless and accordingly victorious. Capable of dispelling negative thoughts, this Virgo gemstone is especially said to bring happiness, and make its wearer lovable. By bestowing courage and optimism, sard makes quite a helpful charm for Virgo, whose changeable nature and consummate sense of reality makes him prone to nervousness and pessimism.
A lighter, orangey variety of this Virgo gemstone is called carnelian. It’s not always easy to tell carnelian from sard; hence the names carnelian and sard have become interchangeable. Carnelian went on to become the traditional birthstone for Virgo to the Hebrews, Romans and Italians. See also —

Jade
Commonly thought to be green stones, jade consists of two chemically unrelated minerals: jadeite and nephrite. Green jadeite is among the most expensive of gemstones, while the green variety of the other Virgo stone is thought inferior in quality, though yellow and white nephrite fetch relatively higher prices. Virgo birthstone of either type of jade symbolizes love and virtue. The Virgo gemstone is also believed to enhance body strength, keeping the often physically active Virgo going, as well as extend longevity. See also Jade: Stone of Fortune.

Jasper
Jasper is a birthstone for Virgo that the zodiac sign shares with Aries, though the main birthstone for the latter is identified to be jasper’s close cousin, bloodstone, which is a green variety of chalcedony speckled with red jasper. This Virgo stone is an opaque chalcedony occurring in many colors, including green, yellow, white and black. The Virgo birthstone is believed to balance negative and positive energy, helping to stabilize its wearer spiritually, while a specific variety of the Virgo gemstone called poppy jasper is thought to bring joy.

Moss Agate
While also assigned to Aquarius, moss agate is another Virgo birthstone. Due to the lack of actual banding, this Virgo gemstone is not strictly an agate, but a variety of white chalcedony with green moss-like inclusions, hence the name moss agate. The Virgo stone is believed to bring calm and focus, and is indeed helpful to Virgo people, whose mutable sign makes them apt to be nervous, and liable to find themselves lost in details.
