There are many variations of birthstones dating back to early civilizations.
The Modern
Birthstone List is the official list from the American National
Association of Jewelers, Jewelers of America. These gemstones were
officially adopted in 1912 (tanzanite was added in October 2002).
In the US, this is the accepted list.
For at least 10,000 years, man has used colored stones as talismans
and amulets. He used them to predict the future, to protect him
from harm and as healing aids. Religious traditions from early times
included gemstones as important elements in their ceremonies and
practices. Many people believe that the planets influence different
stones and that planetary birthstones transmit powers associated
with those planets.
The two birthstone color tables show a range of aqua, black, blue,
brown, clear, orange, pink, purple, red, violet, white, and yellow
birthstones.
