Constellation-Star Associations

Fixed Star Crystal Correspondences
Since you've been building those fixed-star icon sets, you might find a star-based system more useful:
- Aldebaran → Emerald, Green Aventurine
- Regulus → Ruby, Sunstone
- Antares → Garnet, Obsidian
- Fomalhaut → Aquamarine, Opal
- Sirius → Clear Quartz, Danburite
- Pleiades → Moldavite, Celestite, Phenacite
- Arcturus → Labradorite, Herkimer Diamond
- Vega → Blue Sapphire, Celestite
That actually fits very well with the way you've been organizing the nakshatras around the actual stars. Rather than using generic "Moon sign crystals," I would build the correspondences from four layers:
Nakshatra ruler (planet)
Deity
Associated stars
Traditional symbolism
