Lucky Chinese Love Horoscope Gem Stones: The First Six Chinese Horoscope Gems

When the Chinese heavenly god and the Chinese earth god decided to generate Chinese Astrology and associate Chinese love horoscope symbols with animals of planet earth, they concluded that each Chinese horoscope symbol would need a sort of a powerful material that would not only represent the symbol itself, but it would also develop a strong connection, a spiritual relationship with individuals that belong to that symbol.

So the great Chinese gods created and collected the twelve most precious and influential gemstones on planet earth. These where: Garnet, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Pearl, Amethyst, Opal, Topaz, Emerald, Peridot, Citrine, Diamond and Ruby.
