Birthstones, Zodiac Stones, and More
Stone Associations E-mail
In this section you'll find lists of the gemstones and minerals commonly associated with months, days and hours of birth as well as those associated with the signs of the zodiac and their planets. Although these are what are worn traditionally to celebrate our birth, we often find ourselves drawn to another stone. That one is probably your favorite--it holds some "meaning" for you. These lists are provided to give some ideas for jewelry selection by traditional associations. But, listen to your heart and the stones.
