Birthstones
Due to their rarity and their qualities, gemstones have always enjoyed a special standing and many people believe these stones have mystical powers. Most gem scholars believe the tradition of birthstones originated from the Breastplate of Aaron; it can be found in Exodus 28, 15-30. This ceremonial religious garment set had twelve gemstones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel and also corresponded to the twelve months of the calendar year.
