Birth Stone Charts

Birth Stone or Zodiac Stone? It's such a nice thought to give jewellery or sparkly things as a birthday pressie, and have the right stones in it. But it's surprisingly difficult to find out exactly which stones ARE the birth stones or zodiac stones that you are looking for, when every place you look suggests a completely different stone to the place you looked before.

I've spent many hours of my life trying to find out which stones go with which birthdays (and many more hours trying to get the table below onto this page!). I have found books and websites that have Birth Stone Charts that bare no relation to each other, and I've found other places that advertise Birth Stone Charts but have them so well buried, you've missed the birthday whilst you've been looking.

Having done all that research, I now think I've managed to put together a definitive list, so here you are. Zodiac Stones and Birth Stones.

But be warned!! Where Zodiac signs overlap calendar months, there may be more than one stone that fits!
