Birthstones
January
By her, who
in this month January was born, No gem save Garnets
should be worn. They will ensure her constancy, true
friendship and fidelity.
February
The February
born shall find sincerity and peace of mind, freedom
from passion and from care, if they the Amethyst will
wear.
March
Who in this
world of ours, their eyes in March first open, shall be
wise, in days of peril, strong and brave, and wear a
Bloodstone to their grave.
April
Those who
from April date their years, should Diamonds wear lest
bitter tears for vain repentance flow: this stone,
emblem of innocence is known.
May
Who first
beholds the light of day, in spring's sweet, flowery
month of May, and wears an Emerald all her life, shall
be a loved and loving wife.
June
Who comes in
the summer to this earth and owes to June her time of
birth, with ring of Agate on her hand can health, wealth
and lengthy life command.
July
The glowing
Ruby should adorn those who in July are born. They will
be exempt and free from all life's doubts and anxiety.
August
Wear a
Sardonyx or for thee no conjugal felicity. The August
born without this stone, is said, must live unloved
alone.
September
Children
born when Autumn leaves are rustling in the September
breeze, a Sapphire on her brow should bind. It will cure
diseases of the mind.
October
October's
child is born of woe and life's vicissitudes must know.
But lay an Opal on her breast, and hope will lull those
woes to rest.
November
Who comes to
this world here below, With drear November's fog and
snow, should prize the Topaz, amber hue, emblem of
friends and lovers true.
December

December gave you birth, the month of snow and ice and
mirth, place on your hand a Turquoise blue, success will
crown whatever you do.
