FAQ
Why do birthstones differ?+
The American National Association of Jewelers picked the modern list in 1912 and updated it in 2002. Older lists go back centuries and use different stones.
Are mystical birthstones different from astral?+
Yes. The Tibetan and Hindu mystical lists assign stones by lunar month and zodiac, not Gregorian month. They diverge from the Western lists.
