Gemstones according to Chinese Zodiac

Chinese Zodiac is a scheme that relates each year to animal according to a 12-year mathematical cycle. Chinese Zodiac is similar to Western zodiac, because each has time cycles divided into 12 parts. The difference is that Chinese 12-part cycle refers to years rather than months. Also, it represents 12 animals, while Western zodiac includes not only animals but also some symbols from Greek etymology.
