Comments

Zodiac sign: Leo

 

Gemstone: Rock crystal

A heartfelt gift for anyone born under the sign of Leo, the third In the Stars coin inspires both vigour and clearness of mind by pairing the intensity of the zodiac sign Leo with the clarity and healing properties of the gemstone rock crystal.

 

Leo

Running from 23 July to 23 August and ruled by the Sun, Leo is a fire sign associated with passion and courage. It is for this reason that in physical astrology the sign is connected with the heart and spine. In the modern psychological interpretation of the zodiac, those born under Leo are characterised as being gregarious, confident, proud and fond of being the centre of attention. While these (leonine) qualities can sometimes lead them to dominate those around them, they can just as well encourage extreme generosity and friendliness. In other words, Leos have a big heart.

 

Rock crystal

With its transparent and icy appearance, rock crystal is the most emblematic member of the quartz family. Found in the Alps in large quantities, the purity of rock crystal led it to become representative of the divine and the purity of the soul in Europe during the Baroque period. Rock crystal has also been used in spiritual practices, where it is believed to have both healing and protective properties, not least as it is thought to bring about calm, clarity and even enlightenment.
