When I was 7 years old, my mom got me a book which was filled with some stories and some informative articles; my favorite part was a section on birthstones. I didn’t even know birthstones existed until I got that book, and after that; boy, was I obsessed.

I remember asking every single guest who came to our house their birth month and then telling them what their stone was and what it said about them. It was just so fascinating at that time and it still holds some of that fascination for me.

Wouldn’t you like to know what your birthstone says about you?
