Birthstones – The Lustrous Lucky Charms of Life

If you are a pragmatic thinker, then birthstones might just seem to you as beautiful colored pieces of stones. But if you are an ardent follower of star divination, then you are the real appraiser who values the powers these little stones carry.

Basically all birthstones are gemstones, but not all gemstones are birthstones. This is because our ancestors have examined each gem carefully and adjudged the correlation between a few gemstones and their respective constellations. Thus the adornment of these gemstones influences the constellations in a favorable manner for the adorned person. So if you are born in March, then your birthstone ‘Aquamarine’ will work the most beneficial way for you. And it will take these benefits to a next level in the month of March itself.

The astrologers, after thousands of years of analysis, allotted twelve gemstones as birthstones for the twelve months of a year. Thus these gemstones are considered to invite luck for the ones born in the respective month. Hence it is always advised to keep your birthstone close to your body, usually in the form of birthstone jewelry i.e. rings, pendants or charms. These gemstones also bestow healing powers for aches or other illnesses. Following is a list of Modern Birthstones, officially acclaimed by the ‘Jewelers of America’ association.

January : Garnet
February : Amethyst
