Additional Birthstones Lists:
Notes: You may have noticed
that the dates in many charts of the Zodiac differ by a day or two.
I have chosen to use the dates from "The Curious Lore of
Precious Stones" by G.F. Kunz because he published one
of the earliest works about gemstones and birthstones based on research
and his private collection of resources.
The stones highlighted in bold are those listed by G.F.
Kuntz for each Zodiac sign, but I have also included stones from
sources listed below as well as additional listings found on the
internet and other publications.
