Top 10 Best Birthstones

This is my sister's birthstone. I wish I could switch my birthstone for hers! Sapphire is beautiful. I like it way more than my birthstone, Aquamarine.

I think it's amazing. Even my teacher's favorite birthstone is Sapphire. Sapphire and September rule!

I think Sapphire is the best because it is my birth month, and I love the blue-to-purple effect.

Diamonds, in my opinion, should be at the top. The way they twinkle and glitter is very amazing! Not to mention the variety of colors - I absolutely love them! Diamonds were my mother's and my nana's birthstone, and they are mine too. I have a great-nephew due on the 29th, so hopefully, he won't go over into March!

Very pretty, valuable, and available in a variety of colors. I was so close to getting this birthstone. If only I was born a week later.

I say diamond because not only is April my birth month, but its colors are amazing, and it's very rare to find!

This reminds me of Professor McGonagall. After all, it is Harry Potter weekend on Freeform (the new name for ABC Family). That actually makes me happy to have an emerald birthstone. Go McGonagall!

Emeralds have a beautiful color, and they are hard to find. A gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl, emeralds are colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium.

I think this because it is one of the rarest stones. It is believed to bring good luck and success if you were born in May and wear it.

It's so hot, and I think it should be second. (By the way, the first should be diamond.)

I think this stone is AWESOME because I love the color ruby red in everything.

Okay, I wrote a comment about not liking that this was my birthstone. However, now I'm warming up to it! It is a very pretty stone. It looks amazing with my sister's and mom's birthstone, Sapphire. It also looks great with my best friends' birthstones, Opal and Garnet. Aquamarine is linked with water, and I love water! It's my favorite color, blue. To be honest, at first, I mostly disliked it because of the Steven Universe character, but that doesn't bother me anymore (plus, I don't really like SU anymore). I'm now happy to have this as my birthstone!

I'm biased because I was born in June, but pearls are beautiful and unique. Pearls stand out among other birthstones because of their shape and color. Unlike other birthstones, pearls are created by living organisms and have a natural beauty that doesn't require cutting to shine.

Another of June's birthstones, Alexandrite, is a beautifully deep-colored gem that is unique like the pearl. It changes color based on lighting and is rarer than many other birthstones. It also ranks third in hardness among the birthstones on the Mohs scale (and Pearl is the softest).

Moonstone, often an overlooked birthstone of June, is also a beautiful and unique stone. It displays a stunning show of adularescence and a mix of pearly and opalescent colors. It is similar to the pearl with its shimmering whitish color and the way it changes with light.

Each of June's three birthstones is gorgeous in its own way, from Pearl's natural beauty to Alexandrite's stunning colors and Moonstone's wondrous light show. I'm thankful to the earth and its creatures for creating such marvels and to the hardworking pearl hunters, lapidaries, and everyone involved in revealing the dazzling and incomprehensible beauty of these gems. All gems are beautiful, but June's especially make me gawk in awe, unable to fully grasp how wondrous their beauty is.

Sorry, this is kind of long and got a lot more dramatic as it went on. But I love my birth month and my birthstones. As a Cancer (aka moonchild) and someone born on a full moon, having birthstones that reflect the image and nature of the moon feels fitting. I just love how each of the stones looks and what they represent.

This stone is beautiful and unique! The rainbow colors are very pretty. I wish I didn't have Aquamarine as my birthstone.

I think it's a gorgeous gemstone! The way it glimmers in the light is beautiful!

The most beautiful to me. I love all the beautiful colors in the opal.

Amethyst is the most alluring and, in my opinion, the most beautiful birthstone there is. The color is ravishing, and the way it glitters is gorgeous.

I have an amethyst crystal cluster, and amethysts are beautiful. I love their purple color.

I love amethyst. It's not my birthstone, but I love it. It's truly beautiful.

Light blue diamonds look nice.

The best! I was born on December 6.

Garnet is my birthstone, and I think it's so pretty!

It's my birthstone! I think it's beautiful.

I love the colors orange and yellow. Their vibrant yellow color and shining clarity often represent a healthy mind and body, as well as joyfulness and success.

I love the range of orange to yellow. Citrine is a beautiful birthstone.

I like light orange sunset diamonds!

I have always loved this birthstone. I really want to swap mine for this one.

Tourmaline is like diamonds because of its many beautiful colors!

Tanzanite is one of my three birthstones, and the color is gorgeous. Tanzanites are a beautiful indigo, and I feel so lucky to have it as my birthstone. The blue-purple colors it can come in are beautiful. You'll never regret having this as one of your birthstones.

It is a beautiful gem that can change color.

It's awesome for its color changes and the fact that it is the 5th rarest.
