WHERE DID THE IDEA OF BIRTTHSTONES COME FROM?
Two major/most popular theories emerge:
1) Birthstones originally may have been worn each month by everyone, since the powers of the gemstone were heightened during its month.
2) Historians think that the first written record comes from the book of Exodus in the Old Testament. Here, the breastplate of the Hebrews' high priest is described as having twelve specific gems, one for each of Israel's twelve tribes.
There are as many comprehensive birthstone lists out there than there are crystals! Some list a stone for each day, or one for each month, some have many tables of birthstones (Hindu, Tibetan, Ayruvedic, Healing, etc.) Pick which one resonates with you and your beliefs.
