The Modern Birthstone list contains the official birthstone list from the American National Association. These gemstones were officially adopted in 1912. The Traditional Birthstone list contains older birthstones and is sometimes combined with the modern birthstone list. These stones reflect societal birthstone traditions, heralding back to the 15th century. Many jewelers have differing lists of traditional birthstones. I would say that it is up to the choice of the wearer. The Mystical list is of Tibetan origin from over a thousand years ago. The Others list, were correlated by Dave Thompson and others participating in the usernet newsgroup as alternate birthstones. If anyone would like more info on a stone, just make a posting, and I will get back to it ASAP!! ~Believe in the light within you.~ Edited by: Scoty girl at: 3/28/04 10:28 am

The information was jumping off the page to get here!! SARDONYX Sardonyx is a variety of onyx which contains layers or bands of carnelian. It combines the properties of ONYX, CARNELIAN, and CHALCEDONY. This mineral can assist in bringing happiness in marriage and "live in" relationships. It allows one to realize the delightfulness of living. It can be used to attract friends and good fortune, and to encourage self-control. It has been used to diminish hesitation and provide courage. It is said to be one of the stones used in the breastplate of the high priest. It is known as a "stone of virtue", stimulating and propagating virtuous conduct throughout the many facets of ones life. It is also useful in gridding the areas of overpopulation in order to decrease crime. It vibrates to the number 3. Taken from: "Love is in the Earth", by Melody. Nar...I will post the other stones mentioned here asap!! Scoty. ~Believe in the light within you.~
