Birthstones
Birthstones supposedly originated from the 12 stones on the breastplate of Aaron in the Old Testament of the Bible. Since there was one stone for each of the 12 tribes of Israel one could be born into, they were stones that indicated one's birth. There are several different charts of birthstones, including traditional and modern,that I'm sharing here with you.
