BIRTHSTONES BYZODIAC SIGN

Historically, a birthstone is associated with each month of the year. According to the HebrewBible, a birthstone’s origin dates back to the breastplate of Aaron, which consisted of twelvegemstones, each of which represented the twelve tribes of Israel.The current list that dates backto 1912 has one new addition, namely the tanzanite that was added to the month of December.

Notably, a birthstone is said to have healing powers. According to the numerous legends andmyths, wearing a gemstone during its allocated month elevates its healing powers. It is alsobelieved that in order to get a full effect of this, one should own all twelve gemstones andalternate them monthly.

There are many charts designating a month with a particular birthstone, but these are based onastrological framework and are therefore only partially accurate.
