Birthstone Chart - the Right Gemstone for Your Birthday
Since ancient times, birthstones are believed to have special protective powers. Like all gems, birthstones are pieces of earth being shaped over a long period of time. They are often categorized by the minerals that they possess. For example, sapphires and rubies are composed of aluminum oxide and diamonds are made of carbon.
In 1912, the Jewelers of America created a birthstone chart. They associated twelve stones to the twelve calendar months and give each birthstone an unique characteristic. They strongly advocated that by harnessing the inner strength with the gemstone, the heart and the mind will be energized.
