The Significance of Libra’s Birthstone

Libras (September 23 – October 22) are represented by the birthstone pink tourmaline,  a gemstone admired for its soft yet vibrant shades of rosy pink. Symbolising love, compassion, and emotional balance, pink tourmaline is perfectly aligned with Libra’s quest for harmony, beauty, and connection in all aspects of life.

A Gemstone Loved by Royalty

Pink tourmaline has captivated admirers across centuries, but perhaps none more famously than Empress Dowager Cixi of China. During the late Qing Dynasty, she became enamoured with the stone, amassing a collection of pink tourmaline jewellery and carvings from mines in California. So deep was her love for the gem that she was even buried with a pillow of carved pink tourmaline.

This royal association only adds to the stone’s allure, a gem of refinement, elegance, and lasting beauty.

The Symbolism of Pink Tourmaline

Across cultures, pink tourmaline has been linked with:

• Compassion and love - encouraging kindness and nurturing relationships.
• Calm and balance - helping to soothe emotions and promote peace of mind.
• Creativity and inspiration - said to spark artistic energy and imagination.

For Libras, who value fairness, grace, and harmony, pink tourmaline serves as a meaningful talisman and a strikingly beautiful birthstone.
