Leo is ruled by the Sun and has never quite forgiven the rest of the zodiac for orbiting anything else. Warmth, loyalty and showmanship come as a set — and so does the private wobble behind the confidence, which is the part the right stone actually serves. Sunstone is the obvious match and a good one. Tiger's eye gives the courage a spine of patience. Pyrite — fool's gold, all glitter and grit — is for the days when the performance needs backing up with nerve.
The stones for Leo
Sunstone
The Sun's sign, the sun's stone. Carries warmth the way Leo does — generously, and slightly on purpose.
Tiger's Eye
Courage that waits for its moment. The steadying stone behind the confident face.
Pyrite
Gold-coloured nerve. For interviews, stages and any room that needs walking into.
Sunstone for the shine, tiger's eye for the spine.
