Libras are born between 23rd September and 22nd October.

They're diplomatic, fair-minded, cooperative, gracious, and social. There are five different stones that are associated with the Libra star sign: agate, lapis lazuli, opal, peridot and sapphire.

Agate, the Talismanic Stone of Libra

Talisman stones are gemstones that have been designed to be worn as jewellery or something you can carry in your pocket, such as a figurine. It is believed that when Libras wear agate, their talisman stone, they will increase the crystal’s energies and protect the wearer.

Agate is a banded chalcedony, which is a quartz mineral. Agate comes in many different varieties, including:

• Blue lace agate: a soft, pale blue banded agate

• Crazy lace agate: a joyful, heavily patterned agate known as the Laughter Stone 

• Dendritic agate: a colourless, white or gray agate with tree-like inclusions.

• Fire agate: a translucent brown agate with flashes of iridescent colors.

• Laguna agate: a stripy banded red agate with colours of white, gold, and brown.

• Moss agate: technically this agate isn’t banded at all, but clear to white with moss coloured inclusions.

All of these agates have their own particular meanings and uses, but agate in general helps with balancing yin and yang energies, to give you a calm level of courage, and it also offers protection and healing energies.
