Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months. There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. September Birthstone: Sapphire September's birthstone has been used by priests throughout the ages as a symbol of purity, and by kings as an emblem of wisdom. Those born in September are said to possess the qualities of the sapphire--truthfulness, sincerity, and steadfast loyalty. History of Birthstones Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis. The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912.
