The following gemstones are associated with the month in which you were born:-- January - Garnets

There are both modern and traditional variations on the stones associated with birthstones. For example some say Tanzanite is the 'modern' association with December as opposed to the 'traditional' interpretation of Blue Topaz. Whatever those associations are, our advice is not to take it too seriously and choose whatever stone you like, as their is no scientific or logical basis for any stone to be associated with the month in which you were born.
