1. April – Diamond and Clear Quartz
Clear Quartz Necklace
One of the most popular gems throughout history, diamonds are the birthstone for this month, and these stones are linked to love, eternity and strength. Diamonds are the symbol of innocence and constancy. This has contributed towards diamonds being the most popular gems of all time when it comes to romance, such as engagement rings and wedding bands. Diamonds are very strong and hardwearing, making them the perfect birthstone to wear on a daily basis.
Clear Quartz is the other alternative to April birthstone. This stone is often called the poor mans Diamond, because it is so rich in every way except material value. Amplifies, focuses, stores, transforms, energizes. Perfect for focusing affirmations and prayers. Stimulates psychic perception. Teaches each person at their own level, and at their own speed. Empowers. Attunes to all chakras, all signs, and all numbers.
2. May – Emerald and Agate
Moss Agate Pendant with Green Madagascar Apatite
This month's birthstone is the beautiful emerald, once linked to health and the curing of ailments, as well as being associated with the ability to see in to the future, giving them an almost bewitching, magical reputation. Keep an Emerald in your work space. It improves your memory & increases your mental skills. The gem brings greater focus, allowing you to see the best solutions, giving you the tools you need to overcome challenges & motivates you to act.
Agate is the other alternative for May Birthstones. Agates foster love, truthfulness, courage, bravery, strength, abundance, wealth, good luck, longevity, acceptance, protection, balance, harmony, generosity, security, Persuasiveness, agreeability, congeniality, compatibility, creativity, acquiring wealth. Wear Agate when you are feeling overwhelmed, constricted, pressured, closed in or suffocated with current responsibilities. Better yet, enjoy the best of both worlds, and go for that walk with a nugget of Moss Agate in your pocket, as it is said to enhance the appreciation of nature.
3. June– Moonstone and Pearl
Fresh water Pearl necklace with Flower Shell Pendant
The elegant pearl is the birthstone for the month of June, and this gem has been linked with chastity and modesty, making it something of an angelic, pure birthstone. They are also linked to successful and happy marriages. Pearls symbolize innocence and a pure heart, and help us get in touch with the simple honest things of life.
-
White: Symbol of pure heart and mind; innocence, faith.
-
Gold and Black: Also for prosperity.
-
Pink: Works especially with the heart Chakra.
Moon stone is the other bitrthstone for June. It helps to soothe and balance the emotions. They assist in the master of your emotions by bringing them under control of your will, instead of repressing or expressing them. Moonstone represents the great Mother Goddess. Her strength lies in her gentleness, and her ability to experience, process, and neutralize her feelings. A stone of wishes, intuition, and balance. Helps all be more comfortable with our gentler feminine side. Brings to you all that is needed.
Make sure you don’t leave before reading what these birthstones may mean to you through our very own personalized perceptions, which we worked so hard to research and share with you.
