Your
Birthstones...over thousands of years, a tradition
has developed which associates certain gemstones with
times of the year. It is likely that pagan beliefs
associated the time of year of a person's birth with
certain characteristics. Gemstones associated
with zodiac signs sometimes coincide with the birthstones
by month.
