Birthstones & Their History

Posted by janice On November - 7 - 2008

Months have been represented by many different gemstones, depending on time, place and tradition. The chart below is far from comprehensive, but it will give you some idea of the choices that you have for birthstones for the month of your birth.. Opal and tourmaline Aquamarine Coral Beryl Aquamarine Beryl, Apache tear, aquamarine, coral, obsidian, topaz. The Book of Exodus describes how the Lord described breastplate that was to be worn by Aaron, the brother of Moses and High Priest, when he went before the Lord.

The Breastplate of Aaron is typically regarded as the origin of the concept of birthstones. It wasnt until the mid1500s that people began to wear gemstones to attract luck, protection and other qualities connected to the gems.

According to the history of birthstones begins with the ancient Israelites. Always mystics, the Hebrews of the Old Testament ascribed signs and portents and symbolism’s to many things. Emerald Agate Pearl Agate Agate Agate, chrysoprase, citrine, moonstone, pearl and white sapphire Pearl and moonstone Emerald Pearl Agate Carnelian Emerald, moonstone, pearl, and ruby Ruby Onyx Sapphire Onyx Carnelian Onyx, carnelian, sardonyx, golden topaz, and tourmaline Peridot Carnelian Ruby Carnelian Sardonyx Carnelian, jade, jasper, moss agate, and blue sapphire. Unless you dont like garnets…

Indian Ayurvedic tradition has its own system of gemstones for the birth months, as did the Romans, the Polish, the Arabic and the Italian. And if you don’t find any official reasoning, there’s absolutely nothing preventing you from wearing it just because you like it. The ancients believed that the powers of gemstone were held by and unleashed through the color of the stone.

The Book of Exodus describes how the Lord described breastplate that was to be worn by Aaron, the brother of Moses and High Priest, when he went before the Lord. In yet another culture, the month and Zodiac sign are less important than the day of the week. The ancients believed that the powers of gemstone were held by and unleashed through the color of the stone. Thus in one culture, the stone that represents is garnet. At the same time, other cultures were developing similar traditions concerning gemstones.
