Birthstone and birth flower finder
Pick a birth month. The result names the modern US birthstone, a traditional stone only when the 1912 list differs, and the Western birth flower. Month only. Nothing is sent away.
How the lists were chosen
Modern stones are the current Jewelers of America birthstone list: garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, diamond, emerald, pearl with moonstone and alexandrite, ruby, peridot with spinel, sapphire, opal with tourmaline, citrine with topaz, and turquoise with tanzanite and blue zircon. Bloodstone, sardonyx, and lapis lazuli are named only as traditional, because they were on the 1912 US jewelers list and are not on that current heading.
Flowers follow the pairing shared by the major US almanacs: a primary bloom and, where they agree, a second one. November stays chrysanthemum alone. Poinsettia is a popular December extra and is not listed as the flower. The note under a result is original curiosity copy, not a forecast.

Questions
Which birthstone list is this?
The modern stones follow the Jewelers of America list, the US trade list used with the American Gem Trade Association. Some months name more than one current stone, such as June and December. A stone from the 1912 list is marked traditional only when it is no longer on that modern heading. Ancient lists are not mixed in.
Why do some months have two flowers?
Western charts often name a primary bloom and a second one, because florists never settled on a single flower. This page follows the pairing the major US almanacs share. November is chrysanthemum only, because those sources disagree on a second flower. Jonquil is named beside the March daffodil, and it is a kind of daffodil.
Is the meaning a fact?
The short notes are general sketches of how the stone or flower is often talked about. They are not a forecast, and they do not say a gem will change a month or a person. Read them the way the horoscopes on this site are meant to be read: a pattern, not a promise.
Does this need a birth year?
No. Stones and flowers on this page are chosen by birth month only. The day and the year do not change the result. Nothing you select is posted to a server. Pick a month and the names appear on the page, using the same list as the table below.
