Gemstones for Spring - choosing the right gemstone for each season

There are a variety of reasons that certain gemstones can be linked to the seasons – age-old tradition, the color and tone or a special spiritual relationships to name but a few.
Let’s begin with a season loved by many: spring. While we apologize to those in the southern hemisphere, spring typically arrives in March, April, and May, bringing blooming flowers, warmer air, and a fresh burst of green. It’s an ideal time to explore gemstones for spring, as these crystals for spring capture the vibrant energy of renewal, growth, and fresh beginnings.
Taking our cues from the world of birthstones we have our first three spring gemstones:
Aquamarine
Cool blue and green colors that exude class and sophistication with a sleek and shiny appearance that conjures up the crystal waters of a serene ocean in spring.

Diamonds
The winter fog and cloudy skies have given way to crisp clear mornings and cloudless sunlit days and nothing reflects this more than the shimmering classic diamond.

Emerald
No gemstone captures the essence of spring more than the iconic green emerald. Representing new life, growth, fertility and abundance, the emerald has been connected with spring for millennia.

Our next recommended springtime gemstones are based solely on their color which seem perfectly suited to this time of year.
Peridot
This bright clear gemstone only comes in green and it could easily be described as 'spring green". Cheerful and sparkly, Peridot's lime green color is sure to bring a smile to your face.

Morganite
This lovely pink to peach member of the beryl family expresses the bloom of spring more than any other gemstone as apple, cherry and peach blossoms seem to burst from this radiant crystal.

Chrysoberyl
You know spring is well under way when the daffodils and tulips are flowering and this lesser known and underappreciated gemstone will remind you of the spring blooms no matter when you wear it.

Spring is traditionally a time for new beginnings, clearing out the old baggage and starting life anew. Spring cleaning may have its origins in literally opening the doors and windows to let in the light and sweeping out the accumulated dust of the cold winter months but we can do the same spiritually with a couple of gemstones.
Green Aventurine
Aventurine is the "stone of Opportunity", bringing good fortune and prosperity and letting you leave your old bad habits in the past where they belong.

Rhodochrosite
This lovely, delicate pink gemstone encourages love and fertility and what better time for these two qualities than spring.
