1. What is the birthstone for January?

Answer: Garnet

A vitreous mineral, garnet represents "constancy." The word garnet comes from the Latin "granatum," meaning "pomegranate" after the closeness in colour between the stone and the seeds of the pomegranate. Occasionally rose quartz is used as the birthstone for January.

Also peridot is considered to be the birthstone for August and occasionally pounamu (greenstone, jade). Sardonyx is a variety of onyx with layers of sard. It represents "married happiness." It is the traditional birthstone for this month.

3. Representing "courage," bloodstone is the birthstone of which month?

Answer: March

Aquamarine is also accepted as the birthstone for March. Bloodstone, the traditional birthstone for March, is (understandably) the colour of blood. "Aquamarine" comes from the Latin "aqua marina" meaning sea-water.

10. Which stone is the birthstone for the month of February?

Answer: Amethyst

Amethyst is a variety of quartz, coloured by manganese. This purple stone represents "sincerity." From the Greek "amethustos" meaning "not drunken" (methu meaning "wine") as the stone was widely believed to prevent intoxication. Rarely seen as the birthstone for February are onyx and moonstone.
N.B. The modern stones were officially recognised in 1912, where the traditional stones date back to the 15th century.
