Birth Stone for June
Birthstones are gemstones that connect each month of the year. These stones are usually associated with specific meanings.
Birthstones are said to date back to ancient times, where 12 specific gems were associated with the breastplate of the High Priest of the Israelites in the Bible.
Traditional and modern birthstones sometimes differ, since jewellers have since added new stones to the birthstone chart.
June has three birthstones associated with it: pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone.
June Birthstone - Pearl
The traditional birthstone of June is the pearl. As pearls are rare, they are often cultivated. This gem is associated with purity, humility and innocence, and is traditionally given as a wedding gift.
Pearls are also known to have beneficial properties and are believed to bring prosperity to those who wear them.
June Birthstone - Alexandrite
Another birthstone of June is the alexandrite. This gemstone is a variety of mineral chrysoberyl, which changes colour from blueish green in the daylight to purplish-red under artificial light.
This gem is associated with peace and hope due to its green colours. Red alexandrite represents energy and fiery passion.
June Birthstone - Moonstone
Moonstone is the last birthstone for June. This is a colourless gem known for its silver and blue sheen.
This birthstone is said to be designated for the zodiac sign of Gemini and ranges from colourless to brown, yellow and pink.
Moonstone is said to bring prosperity, passion and balance to those who wear it. It also may have healing properties, and help cleanse the digestive system and calm emotions.
Birthstone jewellery has become a popular gift item recently, due to its ability to offer personalised meanings. This makes it a versatile gift for any occasion!
