Each of the 12 months of the year have been assigned a specific gemstone originating from ancient traditions. The 12 Zodiac signs rooted in Hinduism make connections between gemstones, deities, astrology and the time of year. The Bible (Book of Exodus) references 12 similar gemstones that also correspond with the months of the year, which helped to solidify the birthstone chart we know today. More recently, various gemological associations have assigned similar gemstones and alternates to each month.
