Learn the amazing (and sometimes magical) history of gemstones from around the world through the corresponding birthstones that represent each month of the year. Gemstones are among Earth’s rarest and most beautiful creations. They are history’s preeminent symbols of wealth and power. They are valued because they are beautiful and rare, but also because their beauty is undiminished with time. The stone that once adorned a king or maharaja, might today be set in a ring or necklace, and if not destroyed, will continue to sparkle thousands of years from now. This history only increases the value of these stones. What better way to teach young readers about gemstones than by focusing on the different birthstones that correspond to each month of the year? Everyone (mostly) knows their birthstone. But do they know the full history of these stones--where they were mined, how/why they were popular, or how to best harness a stone's energy to help deal with matters of friendship, family, and life? Your Birthstone Book will give readers insight into the powers assigned different bithstones while exploring their fascinating uses over the course of history.

The Earth is a treasure chest full of magical tools for healing and alignment. The very ground we walk on is made up of crystals and metals that are vibratory in nature and affect our very being. By learning the properties and vibratory qualities of different stones and metals, we can partner with them to adjust our own personal vibration, align with the pulse of the earth, heal ourselves, and live more authentically. The usefulness of these stones is due to the vibrational frequency they contain -- in the form of light and color. Just like the color spectrum is measured in density of light, so do stones contain trapped light frequencies, as well as various minerals, which add to their vibratory properties. Since we are made up of vibration, the use of gemstones can assist us in raising our vibration and moving toward a state of health and healing. Learn more about a variety of healing crystals and stones -- including some traditional ones, like emeralds, as well as some that might be new to you, like boji stones. Find out what each stone is commonly used for and how to use it in your life. You can also read about individual experiences with some of these stones. We've also included a Zodiac birthstone guide that indicates which birthstones are associated with each sign of the Zodiac. This guide isn't only useful to help teach you more about your own birthstone, but can be used to rotate through different stones year round in accordance with the best astrological support for each one's strengths. See how much your year can change if you spend time with these 12 different stones and the intention to evolve.
