Modern or traditional birthstones?

[LimeSlice]

I didn't realise there was more than one option?? LOL

ETA Just did a bit of a totally crap google, to discover that we already use are called "modern" - the list put together in the very recent year of 1912

So have they changed?

I dunno? It's only for my girls that it's a problem - the rest of us only have one option LOL. For DD1 being October she can either have Opal or Tourmaline, and DD2 in June can have either Alexandrite, Pearl or Moonstone. I always thought October was Opal and June was Pearl?

I'm a June baby & was always told Pearl was my birthstone, after a google i much prefer Alexandrite.
I always pick Sapphire for my 2 Sept babies & Aquamarine for my March baby
