My Birthstone

Birthstone is gemstone that varies according to the month that the person is born; January-Garnet, February-Amethyst, March-Aquamarine, April-Diamond, May-Emerald, June-Pearl, July-Ruby, August-Peridot, September-Sapphire, October-Opal, November-Topaz and December-Turquoise. According to Buzzle birthstone are said to be an ancient culture that is traditionally associated with zodiac signs that has legendary powers and unique personality traits to people who are born under their ruling planet.

As for me I was born in August so my birthstone would be Peridot. I have been wearing these Peridot earrings since birth. I don’t know I just don’t feel comfortable wearing other type of earrings, maybe because green is one of my favorite color. Anyways, there are really different meanings of Peridot they say that it provides protection from nightmares, others say it is a money stone meaning it brings money and opportunity into your life (hope it does), some say it help cures illnesses but for all I know is that it helps drives negative energy, somewhat a protection from bad things to happen. I guess it was effective though because I have been through different experiences in my life that I passed it through.

I believe that these birthstones are only symbols that we can link to what is reality, it doesn’t actually tells us of who we are nor our future. It will still be up to us to decide the kind of life we want, and the only thing that I am quite sure about it, is that it is really nice to look when you wear these gems.
