Gemstone Quiz compatibility chart
For each of the 8 gemstones, two that are easy to be with and one that may clash. A clash does not mean either side is wrong — they simply value different things.
Amethyst
- Easy together Jade Jade, too, is made of countless tiny crystals. In Amethyst they line up facing the same way; in Jade they interlock and hold together. Though you gather differently, you share the comfort of becoming one with your companions.
- Easy together Diamond Diamond moves alone from place to place, catching the light wherever it goes. To an Amethyst keeping the same color inside its usual circle, it brings new light found out in the world.
- May clash Pearl Amethyst shows a clear purple together with its companions, while Pearl deepens its luster alone, one layer at a time. Your speed and the distance you keep from people differ, so when you decide things together, it's hard to find each other's rhythm.
Ruby
- Easy together Amethyst Amethyst's purple and ruby's red both come from the tiniest trace of something mixed in. Ruby holds its red alone, Amethyst holds its purple alongside others, but neither bends its color — so the two of you get on the same page fast.
- Easy together Jade Red and green bring each other out when placed side by side. Even when Ruby steps boldly forward, Jade quietly keeps its own green, so neither color gets muddied.
- May clash Moonstone Ruby stays red under any light, while the glow in Moonstone moves every time you tilt it. Both are true to the way they shine, so when you have to decide something together, it's easy to disagree over whether to go “as planned” or “as things turn out.”
Opal
- Easy together Moonstone Moonstone, too, is a stone whose light seems to move when you tilt it. Opal shines in lively, many colors and Moonstone in a quiet bluish white, so together you give the room just the right range of brightness.
- Easy together Ruby Ruby stays red under any light. Beside an Opal that keeps changing color, Ruby's unchanging red is a landmark you can come back to, wherever the conversation wanders.
- May clash Amber Opal changes color one after another in a crowd, while Amber holds the same warm color on its own. You want different-sized settings and change at different speeds, so when you make plans together, one of you tends to end up pushing too hard.
Diamond
- Easy together Opal Both turn light into rainbow colors, but Diamond does it by bending and splitting the light, while Opal does it with tiny particles lined up inside. Same rainbow, different method — so side by side, you don't compete for the spotlight.
- Easy together Amber Diamond conducts heat well, so it feels cool in your hand. Amber conducts heat poorly and feels faintly warm to the touch. For a Diamond always moving from place to place, Amber, always the same warmth, is someone to catch your breath with.
- May clash Jade Diamond moves alone from place to place, changing how it shines, while Jade keeps the same green among its companions. Your speed and the distance you keep from people are opposites, so when you work on something together, each of you can feel the other is far away.
Jade
- Easy together Amber Amber beads and ornaments have also been found at Jomon-period sites. Like Jade, Amber has kept its shape for thousands of years. As two who value keeping things going without rushing, your pace of conversation matches.
- Easy together Moonstone Moonstone, too, doesn't sparkle strongly but glows softly from within. Jade keeps its unchanging green while Moonstone moves its light to suit the room, so a quiet gathering gets just the right touch of change.
- May clash Diamond Jade is only moderately hard, yet hard to break. Diamond is hard to scratch but splits easily in certain directions. Your kinds of strength are completely different, so each of your ways of doing things can look to the other like pushing too hard.
Amber
- Easy together Pearl Amber comes from trees and Pearl comes from shellfish. Both are gems made by living things, and both take shape slowly, quietly, on their own. As people who wait without rushing each other, you find each other easy company.
- Easy together Amethyst Amethyst shows its color clearly together with its companions. It shares Amber's care for a color that doesn't change, so when Amethyst invites Amber into the circle, Amber can join in without strain.
- May clash Opal Amber is a stone that has kept what the resin sealed in exactly as it was for ages. Opal shows a different face every time you meet. Your sense of how much “not changing” matters is the exact opposite, so even looking back on the same event, you tend to disagree about which parts are worth remembering.
Moonstone
- Easy together Pearl Pearl's luster and Moonstone's floating glow both come from thin layers stacked together. Neither sparkles strongly; both glow from within, so side by side, neither puts out the other's light.
- Easy together Diamond Diamond also changes how it shines to suit the people and the room. Diamond shines clearly outward while Moonstone quietly moves its light within, so you can share the job of brightening the room.
- May clash Ruby Moonstone's glow appears and disappears as you change the angle. Ruby is red from every angle. Your speeds at settling things don't match easily, so when you decide something together, Moonstone tends to feel “We're deciding already?” and Ruby “We're still not deciding?”
Pearl
- Easy together Amber Pearl is born inside a shell and Amber from tree resin — both come into being as soft stones. You're even alike in being sensitive to heat and chemicals, so how you'd each like to be treated comes across without words.
- Easy together Opal Pearl's luster and Opal's play of color both come not from pigment, but from fine structures inside that overlap the light. While Opal colors the room in lively ways, Pearl can help brighten it too, keeping its own soft luster.
- May clash Amethyst Pearl grows by laying down layers inside a shell over a long time. Amethyst falls into step with its companions and gets moving fast. Your sense of how long things take to come together differs, so when you work on something together, Pearl tends to feel rushed and Amethyst tends to feel kept waiting.
