It's also worth noting, however, that these associations seem to change in popular belief from time to time. In many regions of the world, some zodiac signs are represented by completely different sets of gemstones, often varying through extremely localised areas. The table presented above is representative of the most commonly found associations in the majority of the world's English-speaking countries.
