Blue, brown, white, green, purple, pink, black, aqua, red, multicoloured, orange, yellow and gray. There are 13 different colours of gemstones. No one knows why we have gemstones, or who found them.

There are many different types of gemstones that make up into birthstones. The year you where born will show you the colour and the type of birthstone you have. These can be easily be made into jewellery, e.g. earrings, rings, and necklaces.

In the time of Moses it was his command to form the Brest plates of the high priest to become the 12 colours, also representing the 12 tribes of Israel, a gemstone was applied to each colour. There were twelve tribes of ancient Israel, twelve apostles, twelve foundation stones of the Holy City, twelve months of the year and twelve signs of the zodiac. As time passed people wanted to own the 12 stones of the sacred Brest plates, they had begun wearing each stone of the right time of the month. More years had passed and individually others would wear the birthstone of their own birth month. Each birthstone supposedly represents a magical power. Some were said to ward off evil, protect the wearer in battle, cure blindness, gout and palsy, and even immunize the wearer from drunkenness.

Gemstone can be made into the most beautiful jewellery to wear. They are used to make yourself look beautiful. They can made into allsorts of colours...
