Birthstones & Zodiac Gemstones

Most people know that there is a particular gemstone, or birthstone, associated with the month of their birth, but did you know that our zodiac signs have also long been linked to semi precious gemstones? In addition, each sign, as well as some birth months, have several possible associated birthstones, which is why stones are often referred to as “having an affinity with”, rather than being specific to a particular birth month or zodiac sign.

Monthly Birthstones

These are the monthly birthstones according to the Gregorian Calendar.

Nowadays, while there are some variations in the monthly birthstones around the world, the idea of birthstones has a significant place in many traditions, customs, and belief systems.

These are the accepted monthly birthstones today:

January Birthstone:  Garnet

February Birthstone:  Amethyst

March Birthstones:  Aquamarine, Bloodstone

April Birthstones:  Diamond, Clear Quartz

May Birthstones:  Emerald, Chrysoprase

June Birthstones:  Pearl, Moonstone, Alexandrite

September Birthstones:  Blue Sapphire, Lapis Lazuli

October Birthstones:  Opal, Pink Tourmaline

Of course, you don’t have to stick with your own monthly birthstone. If something else “feels” good, go with it!
