Moon Gems Can Also Correspond to Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Mars
Gems can correspond to multiple planets, linked by the principles of sympathy and antipathy. In such cases, they exhibit mixed physical characteristics.
Example: Greenish-white opal
- The green color is associated with Venus
- Optical adularescence, brittleness, and amorphous structure indicate the influence of the Moon
- The Moon and Venus are connected through the principle of sympathy
Other examples of mixed Moon gems:
- Hiddenite, Prehnite, Morganite (Moon and Venus, allies by sympathy)
- Aragonite (Moon and Saturn, allies by antipathy)
- Fluorite (Moon, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, allies by sympathy and antipathy)
- Larimar, Blue Quartz (Moon and Jupiter, allies by antipathy)
- Kunzite (Moon, Jupiter, Mars, allies by sympathy and antipathy)
By understanding which planets govern a gem, you can apply this knowledge in gem astrology and lithotherapy.

Why Know the Planet-Gem Correspondence?
By selecting the right gems and wearing them at the appropriate time, you can, as believed, weaken or enhance the influence of active planets. Gems affect the flow of events, though not as obviously as if you were making decisions based on astrological forecasts.
I believe that gems subtly influence our inner state, which, in turn, shapes a chain of micro-decisions that define the final events in our lives.
For example, if Mars promises troubles and illnesses during a particular period, and the Moon can soften its influence (according to the solar return charts and primary directions), wearing Moon gems temporarily can help minimize negative consequences. Gems associated with the energy of the Moon harmonize the inner state, which protects against errors and unfavorable outcomes that Mars tends to induce.
However, to select the right gems, it is important to understand the events that a specific planet may bring during a given period of life. This is what we learn in our predictive astrology course.
