Birthstones are a long-loved tradition. Most people know their own birthstone. Many mothers learn the birthstones of their children. Thought I don’t think it’s against the average consensus to say that most men don’t know their own birthstone…

When it comes to gift-giving, birthstones are a great thing to know about. When you give someone a gift that involves their birthstone in one way or another they will appreciate the thought and effort put into the gift. Below are the birthstones by month:

January: Garnet

February: Amethyst

March: Aquamarine

April: Diamond

May: Emerald

June: Pearl/Moonstone

July: Ruby

August: Peridot

September: Sapphire

October: Opal/Tourmaline

November: Yellow Citrine/Topaz

December: Turquoise/Topaz/Tanzanite (December is extra indecisive)

“Tourmalines are gems with an incomparable variety of colours. The reason, according to an old Egyptian legend, is that the tourmaline, on its long journey up from the centre of the Earth, passed over a rainbow. In doing so, it assumed all the colours of the rainbow. And that is why it is still referred to as the ‘gemstone of the rainbow’ today.”

“Ancient legend says that tourmaline is found in all colors because it travelled along a rainbow and gathered all the the rainbow’s colors.
