Choosing a Gem for You
Go to the International Colored Gemstone Association´s site and enter in your birthdate. You´ll get a list of ALL possible stones and some history behind them. I always knew emerald should be my birthstone (I´m a Cancer)!
Gemstones for Days of the Week
Here is a chart of gemstones assigned to the days of the week. Traditionally, the powers of the gemstone are said to be heightened during its day.
Modern and Traditional Birthstones
I use Jewelry Central´s birthstone chart all the time because it lists modern birthstones, ancient birthstones, and alternate stones. When you click on the name of a stone, you will go to the page with specific gemstone information.
