Birthstones

Every month, and its stone

Several months have more than one traditional stone, which most lists leave out. All of them are here, with what each is traditionally associated with.

Ask about yourself

Looking up your own month is a way of asking about yourself. If there is a real question behind it, a reader will answer it — your first answer is free.

One free question per person — a reader's reply is never billed. After that, chat uses free messages (3 per reader by default, capped platform-wide) before your balance.

Verified readers see your question while it waits to be picked up. Once one takes it, only they can reply, and it stays between the two of you. It is never published and never shown on your profile.
