Did you know that there is more than one birthstone for each month? Traditional stones were established for centuries. But when retailers got involved to try to influence the sale of certain jewels... the traditions changed. Here’s a list of all the stones which correspond to each month. Enjoy!
January’s birthstone is garnet.
February’s birthstones are amethyst, pearl, and zircon.
March’s birthstones are aquamarine, bloodstone, and jasper.
April’s birthstones are diamond, sapphire, and mystic topaz.
May’s birthstones are agate, emerald, and chrysoprase.
June’s birthstones are agate, alexandrite, cat’s eye, moonstone, pearl, and turquoise.
July’s birthstones are carnelian, onyx, ruby, and turquoise.
August’s birthstones are carnelian, moonstone, peridot, sardonyx, spinel, and moonstone.
September’s birthstones are chrysolite, lapis, and sapphire.
October’s birthstones are aquamarine, opal, and tourmaline.
November’s birthstones are citrine, pearl, and topaz.
December’s birthstones are bloodstone, lapis, ruby, turquoise, and zircon.
Although most birthstones were pretty well-established by the 1400s, modern jewelers have altered the traditions by inventing new birthstones for the months. There aren’t any real reasons for this spiritually speaking — it was just a marketing ploy to sell more of certain gems. Therefore, don’t worry too much about it. The powers are inside of you, and you’ll intuitively know which crystal should be yours!
