Rat
Rat people are distinguished by thriftiness and foresight. These are intellectuals for whom it is important to receive a decent education; they always want to learn something new. People born in these years are cunning and cautious careerists and often achieve high financial positions. It is these qualities that prevent them from establishing relationships with people. Therefore, Rats are surrounded by wealth, but not close people.
Men born in the year of the Rat are recommended to wear amethyst as a talisman. The mineral will protect you from bad habits, especially drunkenness. Red garnet will give you energy to achieve new goals, and diamond will help you realize the negative traits of your character.
Since ancient times, Rats have been protected by amber. This stone was considered a savior from many diseases. It will help a person become calmer and more balanced. An amber panel, keychain, bracelet and other jewelry are suitable as a talisman. For the active Rat, amber will be especially useful.

Tiger
In the year of the Tiger, brave and desperate people are born. They do not think before committing any act, rushing “at the embrasure.” After everything has been settled and the wounds have healed, we are ready to risk ourselves again.
For the Tiger, there are no authorities and this leads to disagreements in his personal life and at work. They need a talisman that would become a guardian angel for them, and more from themselves. These include diamonds. It will be an additional source of energy for the Tiger. Ruby will help pacify emerging outbursts of anger and jealousy, relieve stress and irritability.

Caring for stone products
In order for jewelry or amulets made from serpentine to please you for as long as possible, you should take care of them.
Stone products are not recommended to be worn daily. To care for products with this stone, you do not need to purchase special products; it is enough to periodically rinse it under running water for 15–20 minutes. The serpentine has the ability to absorb everything negative around it. Running water, flowing away, takes away all the bad things that the stone has collected. Simply immersing yourself in water will not help.
After rinsing, you just need to place the product on a clean surface until dry or blot it with a clean cloth.
The stone should be protected from scratches and abrasions.
Hare
Hares or Cats behave very carefully in life. Their actions are based more on instincts than on logic. These are people who can behave somewhat superficially in their relationships with others, and their frivolity often leads to problems. Representatives of this sign are suitable for stones that give courage, determination and self-confidence.
Rock crystal will become an energy boost for the Hare and will activate his activities to quickly achieve his goals. Jade is also useful for him. It will help you understand your “I” and the world around you. Pearls for the female half of Zaitsev will bring good luck, love and family happiness. Topaz promotes financial prosperity and career advancement.
The Hare is a sign for which almost all stones will bring well-being, but especially these people will be influenced by turquoise, inspiring and giving strength. Amber will reveal your creative potential and calm you down. Jewelry with a ruby will decorate the sophisticated image of the Hare (Cat) and demonstrate his impeccable artistic taste.

First decade
The decade lasts from June 21 to July 1 and is ruled by the Moon. Those born at this time are distinguished by sentimentality.

- Aquamarine;
- Heliotrope;
- Blue sapphire.
Second decade
Jupiter rules from July 2 to July 11. An active life position, the desire for power and perfection are the main features of these people. Among the negative characteristics is excessive cynicism. Cancers are inquisitive, but tend to seek income. A green chrysoprase amulet will help you avoid falling into the traps of scammers.
Third decade
Being in the power of Neptune: from July 12 to 22, the main characteristic feature of these cancers is spirituality of character. Daydreaming often takes them away from reality.

Such behavior often becomes the cause of conflicts, so they need a talisman that would soften negative manifestations.

For the hot-tempered Dragon, it is advisable to choose jewelry with amethysts. These minerals will protect you from rash actions, calm your emotions and difficult temperament.
Amber will make the Dragon softer and more tolerant of his own and others' shortcomings. Black opal will feed you with energy, and pink opal will help in love. Sapphire will give its owner the wisdom that he so lacks.

History and origin
Archaeologists and historians agree that the serpentine has been known to people for more than 5 thousand years. Products made from this stone dating back to the 3rd century BC were found in China. more than 1000 years ago, the Indians of Central and South America used processed coils for ritual purposes and as decorations.
In Europe, coil processing began relatively recently - in the 16th century. Among the alchemists and pharmacists of those times, there was a belief that this stone could enhance the effect of medications. For this reason, the coil was widely used in the manufacture of apothecary bottles, vessels and mortars. Because of this, 500 years ago in European countries it received another name - apothecary stone.
Since ancient times, the serpentine has been attributed magical properties and legends have been made about it.
The most ancient legend is associated with the biblical story of the Tempter Serpent and the Apple of Knowledge. Adam, having bitten off a piece of the apple imposed by Eve, choked on it, and the piece that flew out of his throat petrified, turning into serpentine - from the Latin word serpens - snake.
Ural legends connect the appearance of the serpentine with the Great Snake - the serpents that guarded the gold and gems of the Ural Mountains. Following these legends, Poloz shed his skin, which over time became hard and turned into placers of emerald color.
“The cave hall was higher and more magnificent than the Faceted Chamber. The ceiling resembled a snail shell twisted in an endless spiral. No architect from the Fryazhsky land could have so wonderfully decorated the ceiling and covered the walls with the finest stone lace. Marya asked who created this miracle. Babinov answered hesitantly that they say things differently. It’s as if the caves were dug by the Great Snake, who can exchange appearance with a person, but is essentially a green serpent and from his fiery breath an ordinary stone turns into a precious serpentine.”
Lithotherapists believe that only sorcerers can use the magical properties of the stone. For an ordinary person, he will bring trials and temptations that can lead to trouble.
Mongolian serpentine legends tell of a snake-like creature called Olgoi-Khorkhoi, sometimes called a huge worm. The Mongols explain the elusiveness of the formidable reptile partly by the deadly essence of the creature, and partly by its unparalleled camouflage abilities. Sensing danger, the creature freezes, turning into a coil. But when people leave (either the cold weather passes or the drought ends), Olgoy-Khorkhoy comes to life again.
And due to the similarity of the serpentine to the skin of a snake, people believed that it could enhance the effect of antidotes. Some peoples used it independently against snake venom.
Pig
People born in the year of the Pig are sociable, energetic, and capable of inspiring others to great deeds. They are endowed with wisdom and professional acumen. The emotionality of Pigs is quickly replaced by easygoingness, loyalty to others and a sense of humor.
Coral is considered the ideal talisman for the Pig. This sea mineral pushes its owner to victory and helps not to be afraid of difficulties that arise. Lapis lazuli is an excellent assistant for the Pig in the process of self-discovery. The stone increases productivity and develops willpower. Moonstone acts as a love and spiritual amulet and protects against disappointments.
The best stone for the Pig will be topaz. To activate the properties of the stone, it is held in the hands, warming it with its warmth. Modern lithotherapists believe that topaz protects a person from colds, accelerates tissue regeneration, and treats the digestive organs, liver and gall bladder.
How to distinguish natural stone from fake?
Coil is a fairly common and inexpensive stone, but nevertheless, there is always a chance of purchasing a plastic fake.
You need to know how to distinguish a real stone from a fake to avoid disappointment.
ATTENTION! Do not scratch the coil to check its authenticity. The mineral is quite soft and can be easily damaged by a sharp object.
- The weight of the product should be analyzed. Natural stone will always be heavier than a plastic copy.
- You need to carefully examine the mineral for the presence of a characteristic color - stripes, inclusions and spots.
- You can experiment with heating. Natural stone applied to the skin will heat up slowly, while plastic will very quickly take on the temperature of the human body. Coil lovers claim that if you hold the stone in your hand, you can feel a slight tingling sensation.
