What is the Tuesday birthstone?

In traditional planetary astrology, the Tuesday birthstone is Carnelian, the stone of Mars. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, courage, and drive, and Carnelian carries that fiery energy beautifully. Many people born on a Tuesday also wear alternatives like Bloodstone and Garnet.

Why Tuesday Belongs to Mars

Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, courage, and drive, and Carnelian carries that fiery energy beautifully. If you were born on a Tuesday, you have a natural warrior spirit, and this warm orange-red stone amplifies your courage while keeping your fire focused. In my practice, I recommend Carnelian to Tuesday souls whenever they face a challenge that requires bold action. Bloodstone grounds that Martian energy with ancient protective power, while Garnet adds the endurance to see your battles through.
