Birthstones

We all relate our birthstone with the month in which we were born. Each one will have several birthstones based on their birth month, zodiac sign, and the day of birth. In our succeeding posts, we are going to cover the modern list of 2002, birthstones by month as endorsed by the American Gem Society.

For each birthstone, we are going to cover the following:

·         Birthstone of each month, their meaning, and significance

·         History and background of each birthstone by month

·         Properties and Characteristics

Birthstones are treasured gems that symbolize each person's birth month. Every birthstone has a special meaning and traditional value. Each gemstone has its own story that spans from the Ancient Greeks to the pharaohs of Egypt.

When a person wears their birthstone, it is said it ensures blessings and good health. Many who believe in the healing powers of birthstones owns all 12 gems and wears each stone alternately for every month.
