Here is some information on birthstones

Traditionally certain gemstones are associated with times of the year – this may have grown from pagan beliefs and the association of certain traits and colours with one’s birthdate. This has evolved into the modern day internationally recognised zodiac birthstones, i.e. birthstones associated with the signs of the zodiac. A list of these can be found below.
