Birthstone Charts and their backgrounds

 As I was searching for the birthstones for their certain colors for my jewelry, it dawned on me that someone else may just be as interested in them as I was. So here is some of the information I found. I was glad to come up with the Swarovski Chart as those are the crystals I use in lots of my jewelry designs as of late. But it was more fascinating to find the chart with the origins of all the traditions and differences they have went through.
