Bible, a birthstoneâs origin dates back to the breastplate of Aaron, which consisted of twelve

to 1912 has one new addition, namely the tanzanite that was added to the month of December.

myths, wearing a gemstone during its allocated month elevates its healing powers. It is also
believed that in order to get a full effect of this, one should own all twelve gemstones and
alternate them monthly.
There are many charts designating a month with a particular birthstone, but these are based on
astrological framework and are therefore only partially accurate. Astrologers from medieval times
have witnessed powerful positive effects that come from wearing a particular gemstone by a
particular zodiac sign. The most compatible match between a birthstone and a zodiac sign got
fixed into the astrological lore in the following list:
Diamond
D
Aries : March 21 â April 19
The Ram being the most rock-headed
animal in the zodiac represents the Aries
propensity to move on to bigger and better
things. Diamond provides clarity, which aids
in moving ahead without essentially looking.
Emerald
D
Taurus : April 20 â May 20
Ancients believed that the green hues of
the emerald are dewdrops left by the
barefoot goddess Venus. When the Bull
wears an emerald, the natural sensitivity
mixes better with oneâs deep selectivity. A
Taurean is at its best when the passions
have standards.
3. Apart from the diamond, Ruby is the
hardest of the gems. Cancer is signified by a
crab, and just like one, its hard exterior
shields an inner beauty that lives nowhere
else.A ruby when worn by a crab evokes a
feeling of protection, allowing you to be
yourself.
Aries : March 21 â April 19
Ruby
D
Pearl
D
Ancients long ago likened the duality of
the pearl to that of the Gemini. Pearl being
obtained by scraping thought the sand in an
oyster, out into pure beauty. When the twin
wears a pearl, it brings in a sense of calm
and ease at being two people.

hold on to people or situations with deep
nature. The âsolid realityâ influences of the
aquamarine gem make this piece of rock a
perfect addition that compliments your
personality and looks.

drunkenness.â Ancient legend has it that
