Okay, so I’ve been getting into this whole birthstone thing lately, and it’s pretty interesting, right? I mean, who doesn’t like shiny rocks? Anyway, I’m an Aries, so I got curious about what my birthstone is supposed to be. Like, is there a specific rock out there that’s supposed to be my power gem or something?
So, I started digging around. First, I just Googled “what birthstone is Aries” – easy peasy. Turns out, the most common answer is a diamond. Diamonds for Aries? That’s what most places online were saying.
My Research Process
- Checked a bunch of websites: Not just, like, the top result, but I went through maybe the first few pages of Google. Lots of them agreed on the diamond.
- Looked at some astrology sites: Figured those folks would know about this kind of stuff. They also said diamond for Aries.
- Got a little lost in some forums: People were talking about all sorts of stones, and it got a bit confusing, honestly. Some people were saying bloodstone is also an Aries stone.
- Checked out some crystal shops online: You know, just to see what they had to say about Aries stones. And again, a diamond was often listed as the main one.
- Compared the information that I collected: I put the most common information in a list and compared them with one another.
Now, I’m no geologist, but I know diamonds are, like, super famous. They’re sparkly, they’re tough, and they’re expensive. But bloodstone? That was a new one for me. It’s this dark green stone with red spots. Not as flashy as a diamond, that’s for sure.
From what I gathered, the whole diamond-for-Aries thing comes from this idea that Aries people are supposed to be bold, strong, and maybe a little bit fiery. And diamonds are seen as this symbol of strength and invincibility. Makes sense, I guess? As for bloodstone, apparently, it’s linked to courage and vitality, which also fits the Aries vibe.
Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed at this point. I learned all these and organized them. I ended up deciding to go with the flow. Diamond or bloodstone, whichever feels right, I guess. Or maybe both? It’s all about what resonates with you, right?
And just for fun, I even looked up the prices of these birthstones. Diamonds are, well, you know, diamond-priced. Bloodstone is way more affordable. So there’s that to consider too.

So, yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of Aries birthstones. It was more complicated than I expected, but hey, I learned something new. Now I just need to decide if I’m feeling more like a sparkly diamond or a down-to-earth bloodstone kind of person. Maybe I’ll just wear both and call it a day!
