What is a birthstone?
According to symbolism, the effects and special powers of specific gemstones are even stronger in the month you were born. A birthstone is the specific gemstone associated with the month in which you were born. Each month has its own birthstone with its own appearance and meaning. For example, the birthstone of June is an amethyst and the birthstone of December is a topaz. For centuries, these stones have been used in jewelry and other items.
