Birthstones
Birthstones seem to change with time, and not every source agrees. This is the best I could find.

Month	Modern	Swarovski
January	Garnet	Garnet
February	Amethyst	Amethyst
March	Aquamarine or Bloodstone	Aquamarine
April	Cubic Zirconium or Diamond	Crystal
May	Emerald	Emerald
June	Alexandrite or Pearl or Moonstone	Light Amethyst
July	Ruby	Ruby or Siam ^{Note: 1}
August	Peridot or Sardonyx	Peridot
September	Sapphire	Sapphire
October	Rose Tourmaline or Opal or Tourmaline	Rose
November	Sapphire or Topaz	Topaz
December	Blue Zircon or Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli	Blue Zircon or Erinite or Indicolite ^{Note: 2}
^{Note: 1}^{Unfortunately RU (ruby) is not produced in a wide selection of bead shapes and sizes. I would prefer ruby, except that there are too few choices of ruby in the Swarovski stock list.} ^{Note: 2}^{The natural birthstones for December are Turquoise and Zircon. Swarovski does not produce ZI in the round beads as a stock item. I suggest that you substitute ER (erinite) or IND (indicolite) for the ZI (zircon). ER is somewhat bluer and more pale (more like turquoise), while IND is quite close.}
