* The Curious Lore of Precious Stones by George Frederick Kunz (1913) lists Serpent stone as the Hindu birthstone for January, Chandrakanta as the Hindu birthstone for February, and The gold Siva-linga as the Hindu birthstone for March. Although I have done considerable research about birthstones, I have yet to discover conclusively what their modern names might be.
