Cancer Birthstone

Cancer Birthstones

Cancer, a cardinal sign of the water element starts at the beginning of summer 21 or 22 June - 20 July. Please check the free birth chart if you were born on the cusp (first or last day) of the sign to check which sign the Sun was in at the time of birth. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so Moonstone is a Cancer Birthstone. Pearl glow is also associated with the moon, hence pearl is another Cancer birthstone. A traditional Cancer colour is green, hence emerald and green alexandrite are also Cancer gemstones.
