There is the association of gems and months. (here an list: http://jewelry.about.com/od/birthstonesbymonth/ig/Birthstone-Jewelry/). It is nice to see this list. I haven't learned them by heart yet. It bring memories. I always been fascinated by rocks. Gems are fancy rocks. As a child, I like ordinary rocks. It have its own beauty. I also remember seeing the list of monthly gems at the jewelry shop when I did go with my mom. I remember looking at the list in the display. At the time, that list was a bit mysterious. It didn't meant much.
Now, I know better. I know that mine is a bit expensive (Diamond). I wish to have been born a few hours later that I did just to have Emerald as my month's stone. I do have a diamond. I may buy an emerald eventually, just because I want to. Looking at the list, I wonder why they aren't close to the same price. It gives me the impression they aren't equal. An amethyst isn't as pricey as a diamond or emerald are. They are all beautiful in their own ways. I wonder the process and reasons why the creators of this list made their choices for each month. I think they considered the colors of the gems. But otherwise, I am a bit in the dark.
Anyway, it is a nice list. It isn't showing all the gems that are in existence but it is a nice start. I wish I had all the material to work with them on a more professional level. I like working with gemstone. I would like to have more experience soldering, making chaton and everything else of that caliber.
