Early civilization as far back as the Assyrians, (1400 BC) invested rare and beautiful gemstones with magical properties. Some minerals were thought to contain a force or possess certain values and powers. For instance, amethyst was said to prevent intoxication. Tradition associates a gem with each sign of th zodiac based on a color system. Color was thought to unleaseh the power attributed to the stone. In time, birthstones became associated with calendar months rather than the zodiac.
People enjoy the folklore associated with the tradition of the birthstone. They like believing that wearing a birthstone brings them good luck and protects them.
