Gemstones have been connected to birth dates for many centuries. Originally many cultures had a specific stone for each sign  of the zodiac, but this changed in time. Eventually it became common for a different gemstone to represent each month of the year. 

The folklore attached to each stone varied from culture to culture, but all had one universal belief: wearing your birthstone brought you good fortune.
