Birthstones.
We are all familiar with the idea
that there are birthstones corresponding to the months of the
year. There are also birthstones for the days of the week, the
seasons, the hours of the day, and the signs of the Zodiac.
As you can see, you have many
choices if you ever want to buy or wear your birthstone. If
you don't like "your" birthstone, you can probably find
another one that you do like!
