What is my birthstone?

Birthstones are part of ancient beliefs, as they are mentioned in the Bible. In 1912, jewelers in the United States drew up a list associating a stone with a particular month. The list has been amended several times, and is subject to many interpretations, which explains why there are slight variations.
