Holly B.'s Journal — Birthstone
Ruby: July Birthstone
The ruby has captured hearts and minds for thousands of years. Reverence for this “stone of God” dates back to biblical times, and was even referenced several times in the Bible.
June Birthstone--Moonstone
June babies are lucky—they have three different birthstones to choose from: Pearl, Alexandrite, and Moonstone! While I love a good set of pearls, and alexandrite is quite stunning, moonstone is my preferred stone to use. Its energy feels the most relatable and energetically supportive of the three.
May Birthstone: Emerald
It's no wonder that civilizations throughout the ages have regarded emeralds with expectations of youth, vitality and prosperity! The green of an emerald holds all that is lush and vibrant; for this reason it has long been a stone gifted to a new bride to represent new love, compassion and fertility.
April Birthstone: Herkimer Diamonds
Birthstone Herkimer Diamonds Quartz
Herkimer Diamonds are not a true diamond, but a variety of clear quartz found only in Herkimer, NY. What makes them special is they are double-terminated (meaning a point on both ends) and are very clear and sparkly.
March Birthstone: Aquamarine
As the first 21 days of March are ruled by the sign Pisces, it makes perfect sense that aquamarine would represent the flow of March.
