It has the power to enhance self esteem and opens the mind to different perspectives and/or ideas which those born under this sign sometimes have a problem doing. Citrine is one of the two stones that does not hold negative energy but transforms it.
Silver is another good mineral for people born under the sign of Cancer. It is sacred to the Moon goddesses such as Allat, Diana, Hanwi, and Selene. The moon has the energies that control the ocean waves. Those movements mostly are calming and soothing just like the characteristics of silver.

If you were born under the sign of Cancer, an Emerald should be somewhere in your collection of gems. On a daily basis, consider a moonstone, or a beautiful citrine in a ring or pendant. These are your gems and crystals. You will feel connected when you wear them.
