Birthstones by Month
The traditional crystal for every month of the year — with the modern alternatives that match.
△
Birthstones are one of the oldest crystal traditions — a stone associated with the month of your birth, going back to the breastplate of the High Priest in the Old Testament and parallel traditions in Vedic, Tibetan, and Polish lore. The modern American Gem Trade Association list (1912, revised since) is the standard, but most months have multiple traditional and alternative stones. Below are the birthstones for each month with the crystals from our catalogue that match.
