Ladybugs

When a ladybug lands on you it is said to be good luck. Killing a ladybug is considered bad luck.

Dragonflies

Dragonflies are another lucky insect. The dragonfly was once considered to be a sign of a "good rice harvest." (Twin Groves Museums in the Classroom)

Scarabs

Scarabs date back to Ancient Egypt, when scarabs where considered good luck beetles. (Luckfactory.com)

Natural Objects

Acorns
In Norse folklore, both the acorn and its bearer, the oak tree bring good fortune. A lone acorn is also thought to ward off lightening when placed in a windowsill. For more about the acorn and oak trees, read Superstitions About the Oak Tree and the Acorn.

Rainbow

Rainbows are considered lucky because we all know if we find the end of the rainbow there will be pot of gold. A rainbow also has seven easily discernible colors. The number seven is mentioned below.

Gems and Minerals:
Animals

Dolphins

Dolphins are considered lucky in many different cultures including the Ancient cultures of Greece, Sumer, Egypt, and Rome. For "Christians and Native Americans, the dolphin is a symbol of protection, and its image is said to bring good luck." (Ancient Spiral)

Pigs
Pigs are considered a symbol of good luck in Germanic cultures.

Tortoises
Tortoises are considered a good luck symbol in Feng-Shui decorating.

Elephants Buddha

A Buddha charm or statue is thought of as being lucky, especially if you rub the Buddha's belly.

Saint Christopher

As the patron saint of travelers, it is common for Catholics to have a Saint Christopher cross in their car.

Man-Made Objects

Dream Catchers

Dream catcher, from Native American culture are considered good fortune because they catch the negative images from dreams.

Red Chinese Lanterns

Red Chinese Lanterns are another red symbol of luck in the Chinese culture.

Horseshoe

Horseshoes were thought to bring good fortune when they were hung up on the wall of a home or above a doorway. When horseshoes were made by blacksmiths, this added to the idea of luck that embodies the horseshoe. Blacksmithing was considered a lucky trade. (CSIOP)

Coins

"See a penny pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck. Leave it there and you'll despair." Some even take the idea of luck to the other side of the coin, and believe that if the coin is face down that it's best to leave it on the ground.

Coins have a place in Feng Shui as well, as luck bringers.

A Pot of Gold

A pot of gold is what you will find at the end of a rainbow, making it doubly lucky.

Symbols and Numbers

Nautical Star

The Nautical Star is seen as providing guidance, and it is a good luck symbol for sailors.

The Number Seven

Bamboo

Although considered invasive by some, a gift of bamboo is considered good luck (Feng-shui-products-decorating-tips.com), specifically the Dracaena (botanical name) Lucky Bamboo.

Wish Makers

A Wishing Well

A wishing well is a place where you toss a coin (another symbol of good luck) and make a wish. Wishing wells can be seen in children's programming on shows like Dragon Tales. Another fun example of a wishing well in popular culture is the wishing well the movie Goonies.

Wishbone

A wishbone is a symbol of good luck. It also is a wish maker. Two people tug on the wishbone, each making a wish. After the wishbone breaks, the person with the bigger piece will have their wish granted.

Stray Eyelash

A stray eyelash is seen as a wish maker, much like the wishbone. If a stray eyelash falls upon your cheek, place it on your finger and make a wish. Then blow the eyelash away.

Falling Star

A falling star or a "shooting" star as it is sometimes called asks the person lucky enough to see it to make a secret wish.
