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. This history only increases the value of these stones. 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. They are valued because they are beautiful and rare, but also because their beauty is undiminished with time. They are history’s preeminent symbols of wealth and power. Gemstones are among Earth’s rarest and most beautiful creations. Learn the amazing (and sometimes magical) history of gemstones from around the world through the corresponding birthstones that represent each month of the year.
