Amethyst Gemstones |
All of them are considered lucky for
their particular months and their healing powers are seen to be heightened during their months. Because of this some people will
buy a set of all twelve and rotate them for each month.
Origins
The first time a special gem was associated with a particular month was recorded in the Bible.Moses made a breastplate for the High Priest of the Hebrews according to instructions he received during 40 days in the mountains. The breastplate featured twelve gems which were later linked with the signs of the zodiac, and later still, associated with the months in the year.
The birth stones are connected to each month as follows:-
January - Garnet
Feb - Amethyst
March - Aquamarine & Bloodstone
April - Diamond
May - Emerald
June - Pearls, Moonstone and Alexandrite
July - Ruby
August - Peridot and Sardonyx
September - Sapphire
October - Opal & Tourmaline
November - Topaz
December - Turquoise & Zircon
Zodiac stones
Zodiac gem stones are also called Astral Stones. Ancient astrologers, typically from India and Babylon, believed that the influence of your astrology sign over your fortune in life is strengthened by wearing, holding or carrying the stone associated with the constellation under which you were born. There was no formal classification, the gems were assigned to the signs of the zodiac via a colour system. The astrologers believed that the colour unleashed the magical powers from the stone.
Whereas the Birth Stones are more typically associated with healing powers, the zodiac stones are associated with how your life follows its path in relation to your birth sign's characteristics.
The zodiac stones are as follows:-
Aries - Mar 21 – Apr 20,
Diamond, Opal
