I was born in June. This month is kindof unique when it comes to birthstones because there are three different birthstones for this month. The birthstones are pearls, alexandrite, or moonstone. I'm sure we all know that pearls are little white, shiny balls. They are unique because they are organic and found under the sea in clams. Alexandrite is unique because in the dayight, it appears greenish bluish while under artificial light, it is purple. This stone is very uncommon, therefore it is valuable. Lastly, moonstone is a blue colored stone. It is interesting because it is said to change with the moon.
My birthstone is also amethyst. It is the birthstone for February. It is a very cool purple color, its not too dark nor too light. It is used in many jewelries also. The presence of manganese in quartz produces the purple color, and additional iron content varies the color of the purple.
My birthstone is also an amethyst because my birthday is on February 13th. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry. The name comes from the Anicent Greek.
My birthday is on October the 17th; and my birthstone is Opal. It is pink and Prized for its unique ability to refract and reflect specific wavelengths of light, the Opal was called "Cupid Paederos" by the Romans, meaning a child beautiful as love. One legendary explanation for this gemstone's origin is that it fell from heaven in a flash of fiery lightning.
My birthstone is peridot. It is for the month of August, and is a nice, green color. As early as 1500 BC, the Egyptians used peridot as a gem. Actually, it is now believed that Cleopatra's emeralds were really fine, dark green peridots. Peridot was mined in ancient Egypt on an island called Zeberget
My birthstone is tourmaline. This stone is for the month of October and is: dark yellow, brown, green, bluish black, black, light blue, bluish green, pink, red, or colorless. Brightly colored Sri Lankan tourmalines were brought to Europe in great quantities by the Dutch East India Company to satisfy a demand for curiosities. At the time people called this gem schorl, as well as another tourmaline. It was then discovered that they are the same mineral.
Since my birthday is January 19 my birthstone is garnet. It is a deep red color. This birthstone's name comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "grain" or "seed." This is because garnet resembles the seed of a pomegranate. Garnets have a Moh's hardness of 6.5 to 7.5.
