Why this stone
Taurus is ruled by Venus, whose stone is the diamond. Opal is the common alternative.
The traditional way to wear it
Tradition advises wearing the diamond or opal set in silver or white gold on the middle finger on a Friday. The stone is expected to be clean and touch the skin.
- Metal: silver or white gold
- Finger: middle finger

Caution
Even a small diamond is expensive; starting with opal or zircon is common practice when budget is tight.
Gemstones are part of tradition; there is no scientific proof. Take a lab certificate before buying an expensive stone, and show your chart to an experienced astrologer if needed.
