The emerald helps those in the Aries sign develop both introspective and meditation capacities, thus facilitating a personal development based purely on mind and will power and not on ego and individualism. Also, the emerald’s benefits over the Aries are localized at the Anahata chakra level, the chakra of the heart which helps the natives become aware of their emotional and sentimental power, but mainly it helps them realize that relationships and communication are done both on the mental and astral plain. In this regard, emeralds worn by Aries sign natives improve empathy levels and determines them to put the needs of others above their own. Healthwise, the emerald acts as a tissue regenerator and detoxifies the liver and pancreas. If worn as a jewel, the emerald must be cleaned once a month under a stream of warm water, and placed under sun rays at dawn.
The Aries can wear any of these two talismans and will notice their advantages immediately after realizing their power over his/her personality.

The essence of the Aries sign

Being the first sign of the European zodiac, your essence is Spring, the new, freshness, explosion, life, the will of upsurge. Regardless of your age, your heart will always stay young. Adventure is what you most want from life. You don’t wish for an ordinary life, you like passionate getaways, daring activities, sports cars and sunglasses.

Your life philosophy – adventure
You will try everything in life, even if only once, just to feel the chills of new adventures. You have an immense courage, almost madly. You love challenges because of your competitive spirit. You take on things subtly so as to realize whether or not you can control the situation and win. Feel the need to uncover every mystery you don’t understand. But once the secret is out of the box, it won’t be of interest to you anymore. You are always on the lookout for new conquests, fights and victories.

Qualities of the sign

You are a fascinating discussion partner (I’ve yet to find a boring Aries). You have golden hands. You are the best craftsman from the entire zodiac. Apart these, you are full of kindness and generosity. Blind trust makes you an innate leader, but you don’t care who follows. Those around, love you because you are determined, stable, loyal, daring and courageous. (also, you know a lot of jokes and how to cook).

History

The Oldest Gemstone
The oldest gemstone is Zircon, the birthstone of December. The oldest samples of the mineral has been dated to be 4.4 billion years old. That is nearly as long as the earth, which is dated to be 4.56 billion years old. Colorless Zircon can be passed off diamonds. Other colors of Zircon include golden-yellow, green, blue, brown and red.

The Newest Gemstone

The newest gemstone, and the only one added since the official birthstone recognition in 1912, is Tanzanite.

Tanzanite is extremely rare, still only found in the Mererani Hills of Manyara Region, where it was originally found. Tiffany & Co. named the gem after Tanzania, where it is mined.

Tanzanite is found naturally in three colors, blue, violet and brown. To get the most beautiful shades of tanzanite, the gem must be heat treated. Most stones are heat-treated, so there is no difference in value between heat treated and non heat treated gems.

Origination

The first 12 birthstones are said to have originated on the breastplate of Aaron. God instructed him to make a breastplate inlaid with 12 gemstones.

The instructions were specific; make a square of gems precious stones with four rows of three gems each. The stones were there to represent each of the twelve sons of Isreal, and engraved with the name of the twelve tribes.

“The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; 18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst; 20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper.[b] Mount them in gold filigree settings.” Exodus 28, 15-30 NIV.

An Alternate Theory
There is another theory that suggest the birthstone gems and colors were chosen, one per apostle. The theory is that each apostle was represented by one gem.

While the Bible tells us that the gems were already a representation of the twelve sons and tribes of Israel, there is reason to believe that later, the gems were also recognized as symbols of the apostles.

Zodiac Birthstones

Birthstone history has long been associated with the zodiac calendar. For many years, gemstones were said to have healing powers and astrologers were often sought after for advice when it came to healing.

Every single native from the zodiac has a link with one or more precious or semi precious stones, charms helping them to surpass difficult situations and even speed up their recovery from an illness.

Protection and healing powers

Originally, birthstones were meant to be worn as a form of protection. Each stone had special strengths. Then, when the stone was worn by a person born under the same sign as the stone, the stones strengths were enhanced.

Men wore their birthstones when they went out to protect and provide for families. At home, the stones were worn to protect against disease of the mind and body.

Healing Powers
It was common for healers to use gemstones to help cure their patients. For instance, citrine was used to heal digestive ailments, aquamarine was said to be an antidote to poison and pearls were used to cure insanity. There wasn’t a lot of science to the beliefs held by these healers, but there was a little proof in some cases. Opals were said to be the cause of the black death.

Those who wore an opal on their skin would change color as the wearer got sick and died due to the lack of heat coming off the body. Although we know gemstones won’t be healing anyone anytime soon, there are many people who still look at them as being good luck.

Modern Day Calendar and Birthstone Colors

In 1912, the National Association of Jewelers met to discuss and adopt the official birthstone list as we know it today. The list has only been updated twice.

The first time was in 1952, to adjust the colors of one stone, and add and drop others. The next time it was altered was in 2002, when tanzanite was added to December. The modern list was based off the original zodiac calendar of birthstones, but when the list was standardized, more affordable gemstone options were added to certain months.

The current birthstone list is as follows:

• January – Garnert
• February – Amethyst
• March – Aquamarine & Bloodstone
• April – Diamond
• May – EmeraldJune – Pearl & Alexandrite & Moonstone
• July – Ruby
• August – Peridot & Sardonyx
• September – Sapphire
• October – Opal & Tourmaline
• November – Topaz & Citrine
• December – Turquoise & Zircon & Tanzanite

Modern birthstone history might be based upon selling more jewelry, but originally, gemstones were used as protection for the wearer, and healing for the sick.
