Each month has its own birthstones with vivid histories, mythologies, and traditions. For those Aries and Pisces born in March, you’ve got two different birthstones you can choose to adorn yourself with and that can work for whatever your fashion taste.

December has three birthstones, all of which are beautiful shades of blue. They are turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon.

September, like many months, has a much wider array of birthstones than one might imagine. However, September is alone in having six different birthstones! These include peridot, zircon, agate, moonstone, sardonyx, and perhaps the most popular, sapphire.

Did you know that there are two types of birthstones? The two types are “modern” and “traditional”.  Sometimes the modern and traditional birthstones for a month match, and sometimes they don’t. For the month of July, both birthstones are the ruby.
