Between October 23 and November 21 it's Scorpio season. Scorpio is one of the most intense signs of the zodiac: passionate, deep-feeling, mysterious, and not fond of anything superficial. It's no coincidence that the stones linked to it are dark and deep in colour, or carry a strong, fiery energy.

Tradition often links the following five stones to Scorpio. Whether you were born under this sign or simply want to tune in to the energy of the season, they are worth getting to know.

Garnet: strength, stability, perseverance

Garnet's deep burgundy colour evokes Scorpio's passion at first glance. According to tradition it is the stone of strength and perseverance: it gives you a stable foundation even when everything around you is changing.

Scorpio tends to live everything with great intensity, which can sometimes be exhausting. Garnet helps you keep your balance and reminds you that your inner strength will hold you.

Obsidian sphere: protection, truth, letting go

Obsidian is volcanic glass, born from rapidly cooled lava. Its glossy, deep black surface is like a mirror, and according to tradition that is exactly its role: it shows what is. The truth you may not want to face.

It's a favourite stone of Scorpio because it helps you let go of what no longer serves you, whether an old pattern, a stuck feeling or an unresolved situation. It is also known as a protective stone that holds you through harder times.

Labradorite: intuition, protection, transformation

Labradorite is almost magical: as you tilt it in the light, flashes of blue, green and gold appear. This is called labradorescence, and it comes from the stone's inner structure.

Scorpio is the sign of transformation, and labradorite is the stone of transformation. It strengthens intuition and offers support in times of big change. If you are about to go through a shift, or are in the middle of one, this stone can be a good companion.

Carnelian: energy, courage, creativity

Carnelian

Carnelian's fiery red-orange colour speaks for itself. It suits Scorpio's strong will and passion, as it symbolises energy, courage and creative drive.

If you're stuck, or need a push to start something new, carnelian is the stone of momentum. It is also a good complement to Scorpio's deep emotions: it brings warmth and vitality next to the darker tones.

Citrine: abundance, joy, self-confidence

Citrine

Citrine is the stone of the sun: golden, amber-toned, and it radiates cheerfulness at first sight. Tradition links it to abundance, joy and self-confidence.

For Scorpios, who tend to take everything deeply and seriously, citrine is a kind of counterweight: a reminder that the light and ease of life are part of strength too.

How to use your stones

  • Carry them in a pocket or bag, or wear them as jewelry
  • Keep them at home, on your desk or your nightstand
  • Meditate with them: hold one in your hand and notice what you feel
  • Choose by intuition: the best stone is the one that speaks to you
