Sun gems share similar characteristics. They have a common color, optical properties, origin, composition, and physical structure.

Which Gems Correspond to the Sun?
- Amber
- Citrine
- Chrysoberyl
- Pyrite
- Orthoclase
- Imperial Topaz
- Rutilated Quartz
- Yellow Barite
What do these gems have in common? First and foremost, their color. But there are also several other shared characteristics, including composition and optical properties:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Color | Sun gems have yellow, golden, transparent, and semi-transparent hues |
| Optical Properties | They exhibit a metallic (aventurescent) or diamond-like luster, refract light in a star shape (asterism) |
| Composition | They contain gold (Au) |
Let’s take amber as an example. Amber is a pure Sun gem:
- It is yellow,
- It is semi-transparent (an optical property)
Sun Gems Can Also Correspond to Venus, Saturn, and Mars
Gems can correspond to multiple planets based on the principles of sympathy and antipathy. In such cases, gems exhibit mixed physical characteristics.
Take heliolite, for example. Its color is orange—a mixture of red (Mars) and yellow (Sun). On one hand, it has golden sparkles (a characteristic of the Sun). On the other hand, these sparkles come from hematite scales (a purely Martian gem).
As a result, heliolite is a gem of both Sun and Mars. Mars and the Sun are connected through the principle of sympathy.
Other examples of Sun gems with mixed planetary influences:
- Sunstone, red variscite (Sun and Mars, allies by sympathy)
- Chrysoberyl (Sun and Venus, allies by antipathy)
- Diamond (Sun and Saturn, allies by antipathy)
- Ametrine (Sun, Mars—sympathetic allies, and Jupiter, Mars’ ally by antipathy. The mixture of red and blue produces the characteristic violet of amethyst, which complements the golden-transparent hue of citrine).
By understanding which planets are connected to a gem, you can apply this knowledge in gem astrology and lithotherapy.

Why Choose Minerals to Harmonize Life?
In astrology, it is believed that certain gems can influence the intensity of planetary effects. Selecting minerals at the right time can enhance positive aspects and reduce negative influences.
I believe that gems work through internal states—they subtly adjust our emotions and thoughts, influencing our decisions and actions.
For example, if Mars is bringing tense events this month, and the Sun can soften its influence (according to solar return charts and directions), then lunar gems can help reduce tension and avoid mistakes.
To use gems effectively, you need to understand planetary influences. This is precisely what our predictive astrology course is about.
