Jade and carnelian bring happiness to Virgo. For these talisman stones to hold their greatest power they must be set in silver or platinum, but never in gold.Jade is a greenish, opaque "stone of life". It strengthens the vital forces, guards against illness and helps those suffering from migraine and from kidney and liver disease, and it improves the eyesight; it brings luck in games of chance and gives victory to runners at the Olympic games; it protects from the evil eye. It guards against lightning strikes and moves those around to keep faith with its owner.Carnelian is an opaque semi-precious stone of red, reddish-brown, greenish or white colouring. It protects one from the danger of being crushed in an earthquake. Among Muslims a tradition says: "Whoever wears carnelian in a ring dwells unceasingly in well-being and joy. Wear a ring with carnelian, for truly it drives out poverty!" It lends lustre to beauty and freshness to the skin; it cures toothache; it defeats black magic and shields from ill will; it lends courage and helps in keeping a secret; it guards against stomach upset and fever; it stops bleeding and softens anger. It calms fierce anger and palpitations and helps to win a favourable response from another to some request. Carnelian wards off evil spirits, protects from sorcery, keeps quarrels at bay and sharpens the mind. This stone is better set in silver.
