APRIL
Never wear a diamond you don't feel comfortable with. Diamonds are powerful stones that lend a bit of their sparkle to those attuned to them and drain it from those who are not. Wearing a diamond opens one to spiritual guidance and raises physical energy to a new level. One of the world's most famous diamonds, the 186 carat Koh-i-noor (mountain of light), was discovered between four and five thousand years ago. Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on earth and can be used to cut anything else.

JULY
The vibrant, exuberant, joyful ruby is a strong stone for a strong and independent person. Those whose birthstone is ruby are sure of their own compassion and inner resources.
