BIRTHSTONE
In the 1930's, the British and U.S. jewelry industries assigned stones to the months of the year as follows:

Month	Birthstone
January	Garnet
February	Amethyst
March	Aquamarine
April	Diamond
May	Emerald
June	Pearl or Moonstone
July	Ruby
August	Perodot
September	Sapphire
October	Opal
November	Topaz or Citrine
December	Turquoise Tanzanite, or Blue Zircon

My experience with birthstones is that color is more important than specific stones. For example: there are several stones with shades of blues that would qualify for some of the months above.
