BIRTHSTONES

"A birthstone is the "gemstone associated with the date of one's birth, the wearing of which is commonly thought to bring good luck or health. Supernatural powers have long been attributed by astrologers to certain gemstones."
- From Encyclopedia Britannica 
Birthstones come in a colorful array of sparkling jewels and glowing gemstones, each one with its own place in history and myth. These gems have had a special place in both the hearts and minds of humanity. People like believing that wearing a birthstone brings them good luck and protects them.
 
A standard list of acceptable birthstones is used today, but those gemstones were arbitrarily selected many years ago. People originally chose which gemstone to wear based on its color and the magical or healing powers associated with that color
 
Given below is a table of Birthstone & you have the choice of selecting birthstones for the day you were born, the birth month & the birth time, zodiac sign ...
