My own clans- Leddy and Wolfe- aren't native Scot clans. The Leddy's are from Clare County, Irland, and the Wolfe family were chased out of England into Scottland and Irland by the Vikings. We don't have a proper stone color, so we wear a cairnhorne. It goes with everything and is always appropriate. Oh, and as you can see in my avatar, the orange matches my tartan quite well. That being said, I am partial to blue stones in my broaches.

I've been involved in my primary clan association for 8 years, now, and joined another a couple of years later. In addition, I host a clan tent at about 4 Scottish events a year and see other clan representatives all the time. In all that time, I've not heard of a clan stone before. I'm not saying they don't exist, but at this point, I would hazard that it is a vendor's ploy to sell.

I've never heard of "official" clan stones either. I personally find that topaz/cairngorm goes with everything.

Add me to the list of those who've never herd of official stones. My plaid brooch has an amethyst. There's no purple in my tartan, but I like how it portrays a thistle head.

I agree with Big Mikey. Wear what you like, and what looks best with your outfit.......and of course welcome to the rabble!

If there are official stones its news to me. I think you will find that the choice of stone depends colour. There are not nearly enough distinguishable natural stone colours available by digging in the highlands for there to be stones for each clan. So wear what you like.
