The Modern Birthstone list
contains the official birthstone list from the American National Association
of Jewelers, Jewelers of America. These gemstones were officially
adopted in 1912.
The Traditional Birthstone list contains older birthstones and
is sometimes combined with the modern birthstone list. These stones
reflect societal birthstone traditions, heralding back to the 15th
century.
The Mystical Birthstone list is of Tibetan origin from over a thousand
years ago.
