JUNE BIRTHSTONES
Moonstone, Pearl, Alexandrite
PEARLS
Pearls are the first birthstone for June. Pearls are organic matters and harvested from mollusks and oysters. The gems are highly valuable and have a long history. Pearls are known as the symbol of purity and innocence and because of this, pearls are often sewn to brides’ gowns or worn as jewelries by the brides.
ALEXANDRITE
The next birthstone for June is Alexandrite. This is a relatively new gem that was found approximately 150 years ago. This gem is named after Prince Alexander who became Czar Alexander and found during the prince’s birthday. The gem is known as the symbol of both love and jealousy. Alexandrite is unique and rare because it changes colors in different lighting. It will stay green in daylight and sometimes can have a brownish tint or also bluish cast. But the stone will turn into red, violet or even violet under the softer lighting. Due to its rarity, Alexandrite is very expensive.
MOONSTONE
Moonstone is the last alternate of the June birthstone. It is the Florida state gem. Just like the name, the gem is always associated with the moon. The moonstones are unique. The gem itself has white spots in them and when being held to the light it will shine like the moon. Moonstones are believed to have a spirit that brings good fortune for the one who wears jewelry with moonstone. The moonstones are also believed to be the protection as well as fertility stones.
