Your guardian stone is decided by the Five Elements of your birth year. Here is how to find yours in 30 seconds — and what it means.
In the Chinese 60-year cycle, every birth year carries a Na Yin element name — poetic names like Metal in the Sea or Fire on the Mountain. Use our free Five Elements calculator to find yours instantly.
| Your Element | Guardian Stone | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wood 木 | Green Aventurine | Wood is growth — green stones support renewal and luck |
| Fire 火 | Rose Quartz / Red Agate | Fire is warmth — pink and red stones balance passion |
| Earth 土 | Tiger Eye | Earth is stability — golden stones anchor wealth and trust |
| Metal 金 | White Crystal / Gold | Metal is clarity — white stones sharpen the mind |
| Water 水 | Black Obsidian | Water is wisdom — black stones deepen intuition and shield |
Your guardian stone works best worn on the left wrist (the receiving side), cleansed under moonlight once a month. If your element is Fire or Earth, some traditions prefer the right wrist for action energy.
Our Custom Five Elements Bracelet is handcrafted around your birth-year element — your guardian stone, your lucky colors, your ritual. Add a Five Elements Reading for the full report.
