Where Did Birthstones Come From?

[@ZaDussault]

As a person from July: Why are rubies so damn expensive. I got my ears pierced with tiny rubies, but they are so minuscule because otherwise they'd be so expensive

[@gems]

Rubies really cover the price range depending on their quality, locality, and any treatment applied. Check out our assortment on Jedora, where they range from $25 and up! www.jedora.com/shop/gemstones/ruby-gemstones

[@ResortDog]

Greenland rubies are fair trade

[@courtneyscott5630]

​@@gemsRuby is my birthstone and king of Gems!!!!

[@tmross4]

I would change the diamond (my birthstone) to something like Fluorite or rose quartz, or even it's unakite. These resemble Spring more than a diamond.

[@Magic2729]

Honestly born in April I'm a diamond too, my opinion: Really? The most bland stone there is, used in pretty much all jewelry from from weddings to birthstones to pretty just just your defacto hey it's jewelry what did you expect to be in there? I get it it's shiny, might be the easiest to reflect light beautifully. I like color. My favorite color is red, and your birthstone being a diamond kinda makes it not special or unique anymore when like I said it's the default gem used in like everyone's wedding ring. Why is diamond even a birthstone? It shouldn't be. Give me some color and add flair to April. Look at how fancy the first October stone looks? 4:56 Now that's beautiful.

[@tmross4]

I hate the clear diamonds. If I have to have a diamond, make it a red diamond. Or one of the colored sapphires (not blue).

[@eerielconstantine5051]

Very interesting, I was expecting a more ancient origin for this, and perhaps something associated with the Eastern zodiacs! Good to know where it is actually from

[@aenwynn950]

I totally thought it would have been something from the last decades to sell more gemstones to be honest

[@eerielconstantine5051]

@@aenwynn950 also valid haha, I wouldn’t put it last gem companies, just look at the OG diamond industry!

[@MyPinkPanda]

THANK YOU!!!!! Its so frustrating to have one of the most expensive gem stones as your birthstone! Its so hard to find them reasonably priced!!!

[@catienoble3191]

Being born in September, I'm lucky to have every color of sapphire (except red, of course) for my birthstone. I wish there were at least that many options for every month, but especially for May and July.

[@GilgameshEthics]

I was literally sitting here thinking poor may babies. You got emerald or nothing xD

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

George Kunz was often peeved about something or other. Hiddenite really got him upset. I didn’t know Spinel was added as an August Birthstone. It’s a beautiful stone. I wouldn’t replace Peridit though, I love it. Thanks Rob.

[@lieslfrankpsychickinesiolo4906]

It took me ages to embrace Peridot as my birthstone But now that I understand all of the wonderful healing properties of Peridot, I love it

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

@@lieslfrankpsychickinesiolo4906 - Surprisingly a lot of people don’t like Peridot. It is actually my birthstone. When you consider it is made deep in the Earths Mantle you can appreciate it’s had a tough time. I own one from Pakistan with Lugwidite inclusions splaying out from the centre.

[@Alpha13Wolf]

I was unaware August gained a birthstone lol. Both stones are beautiful too.

[@raversfantasy]

We have three! Peridot, Sardonyx, and Spinel. I grew up being gifted Peridot and was surprised to randomly look it up just now only to see new ones added on 🤣

[@rayanbootjie]

This is lovely!

[@sandmaker]

I think all stones I like are my birthstones... and I like them all! 😷⚒

[@jararith8239]

Mine is Amethyst. Affordable + I love them. I have them over my desk, bedside table, over head on my bed, decorative shelf, TV, bathroom and I keep some in the boxes.

[@JewelsoftheTrade]

Awesome video! Keep doing what you’re doing! I think each month of the year should have a different color of jade associated with it. Green jade, red jade, ice jade, etc 😜

[@aniflowers1998]

I'm always so confused about Garnet beeing the stone asociated with January...Growing up in germany, all january "lucky gems" asociated things named Onyx as januarys gem. I own multiple of those things, but I can't find anything online about Onyx beeing asociated with january, or why it would be asociated with that month, yet alone the Aquarius sign

[@troyblueearth7450]

You would add one to May but not April LOL April definitely needs a cheaper alternative

[@S-CB-SL-Animations]

Ruby is my Birthstone! I'm from July. 🤗💎💖

[@elohelreh]

im a gemini and when he said wednesday i just screamed we wear pink in shame

[@NataliaJuliaNowak]

My birthstone is amethyst. I was born in February. I'm Pisces Sun (or Aquarius/Pisces Cusp) and Aries Moon. My Zodiac crystals are: amethyst, aquamarine, bloodstone, garnet, and red jasper. 🙂

Junes birthstone was moonstone, then pearl, now it’s alexandrite. I prefer moonstone.

[@pay1370]

I'm just gonna pretend it's still moonstone, don't care for the others.

[@jadaalvarez9145]

@@pay1370☝🏼🤓 actually guys they’re all 3. some months have more then 1 gemstone 😋

[@alexhook9151]

When I get engaged or married I want the ring to instead of having a diamond, have my birthstone and my spouses birthstone. It'll be funny if we were both September babies. 😆

[@loompy1440]

didn’t realize march used to be bloodstone. Now I need to fashion one of my roughs into something cus I trust ancient spirituals more than capitalists of today… not that I believe in any of it (kinda do lowkey)

[@alyseandrews1066]

I'd change September's sapphire to be any color. I'm not a big blue fan, but there are so many other beautiful sapphires!

[@wooogie672]

i used to feel the same way, but i’ve come to appreciate blue sapphires

[@_mortiam]

I've never heard of this birthstone thing. Ok maybe heard of, but not more than that they exist. My question.... who does this changes of birthstones? And why?

[@heathervannatter364]

Yay!! So cool!!

[@LunarKnight22]

if I could change something, I would really like April to not be the freaking diamond. Or to at least get something else in there. Other months get three or four, and yet several of the months get exactly one. I don’t think that’s fair.

[@tolentarpay5464]

I think we should go with the Communist version - Jan = gravel, Feb = gravel, Mar = HAS to be gravel, Apr = umm, can't think, it's on the tip of my tongue...

[@denisejames855]

My birthstone is emerald and am very unlikely to ever own one. My engagement ring is ruby and diamond which I love as it is a warm stone.

[@QueenofSilence101]

My birthstone is turquoise! (December) I've always wanted a raw turquoise statement necklace, and I finally got one some months ago. I love it. Also, what about pearl (June) and turquoise (December)? Where did that come from? Because I'm not familiar with actual gems being associated with those months. It's always been pearls for June's birthstone and turquoise for December's birthstone as far as I'm concerned.

[@mimichy4138]

I think they should consider adding chrome diopside, green tourmaline, or tsavorite garnet as May birth stone. They are beautiful and affordable.

[@karengarcia8587]

It's very fascinating to know the history about the birthstones and it keeps changing though out time.😯💎🤔📖 Also that the zodiac is connected to the gemstones and their meanings, knowing this information since I'm an Aries.♈🔴 Since you asked, I like to see another gem added with diamond💎 to the April birthstone mouth. Thanks for teaching us about it.🧑‍🏫 Nice video and see you later.😊👍💎🥳🎂

[@bethlovesthings]

I'm an August baby and had no idea if gained another birth stone 🤣 good news I guess. I tell my mum to start buying spinel specimens instead

[@marionbradley6236]

Very cool. I love the history but now you must tell us about the various powers Gemstones possess!! What do you think?

[@pandora4037]

I find it odd that December has the most birthstones.

[@elizabethdilaywendy6399]

I'm from Nebraska, and I've never heard mention of the gemstones there. It would be great to learn if there are any.

[@bonnieballew7762]

They have some shows on states and the gems found there. I think they did one on Nebraska.

[@koolaid7433]

I'd give April something more interesting and less expensive than diamonds, maybe something like rainbow moonstone or fire agate.

[@skippyjonjones23]

I have aquamarine as my birthstone but most jewelry I find is too pale in color for my taste. You only get good color payoff if you spend a pretty penny and I’m poor AF. I tend to gravitate towards peridot jewelry instead because it has more color saturation plus it’s not super expensive. I also loooooove opals.

I would want a ruby or Sapphire as my birthstone for May and they can have the Emerald.

[@RockyMountainBear]

Turquoise belongs in March, because I said so. 😬

[@skippyjonjones23]

Agreed. Aquamarine is more suitable for Icy December

[@kamanama3671]

30 some odd years ago I was at Macy’s was around the time of my birthday. I was trying to choose between ruby emerald and sapphire jewelry set. My birthstone is Ruby but I’d heard a rumor that emeralds were going to be hard to find. I went ahead and bought the emeralds. They are a beautiful deep green color. It was definitely worth the investment

nice vids that give info to birthstone thq ,,but it is changing adding or deleting in all time ,,my suggest is may iss add cchrisolla in calsedony that woukd be good

Interesting! I never knew my birthstone before now! Maybe my subconscious knew and that’s why I’ve always been addicted to turquoise…🤔😆

I would give November a better stone than citrine.

hey i got an idea, ONE stone per month

[@HarmoniaAAxyridis]

Still going with the fact the Ruby is the OG December birthstone.

[@keyofallworlds7549]

Can yall make a list for the Hindu gem stones?

[@Sunshine27234]

so why is emerald and beryl seperate, as emerald is the green variety of beryl? and the beryl shown is most likely a morganite, a pinkish variety of beryl? beryl is a group of several varieties of minerals such as emerald, morganite and aquamarin. same with onyx and agate. onyx is the black variety of agate. jasper and amethyst and ruby and sapphire can be named next to each other as they are both varieties of the same group (quartz and corundum). but it somehow doesn't make sense to me to once name a mineral group and then name a specific variety of the group seperate. for example if Beryl is your birthstone, you could basically choose which one you like, also including emerald which is already assigned to another birth month. so it doesn't make any sense...

[@de4no_the_dino348]
