What Are Your Birthstone Years?
Historically, people have worn a different birthstone each month of the year. These stones were associated with a different month of the year and each had different meanings and values. Today, these stones are considered birthstones, and they are a symbol of the year and month you were born. In 1912, Sears published an official list of birthstones, and it is largely unchanged. Traditionally, birthstones were worn by women, while men were often represented by male stones.
The history of birthstones is fascinating. While some are older than carnelian, others are named after the month of your birth. While most birthstones are symbolic, they have a spiritual and healing association. The ancient name of garnet or ruby is carbuncle, which means “carpet-like.” In fact, many birthstones have been associated with a particular year since the Middle Ages. Despite its age, however, they are often much younger than carnelian.
The June birthstone, known originally as diaphanite, is a deep red gemstone. It was first discovered in the Ural Mountains in Russia, which is the only place in the world where such a gem could be found. The future Tsar Alexander II, also known as Alexander the Liberator, was named after this stone. Historically, the gemstone was associated with a powerful leader. As such, it is a good idea to wear a garnet during the month of your birth to honor the spirit of that time.
