Found this interesting info on Gemstone.org:
Most gem scholars agree that the tradition of birthstones arose from the Breastplate of Aaron: a ceremonial religious garment set with twelve gemstones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel and also corresponded with the twelve signs of the zodiac and the twelve months of the year.
Because ancient people did not always classify gemstones by mineral species like we do, there is some debate about which gemstones were set in the breastplate and why. Because of this, different cultures around the world have developed different birth stone lists. The modern day list that you know is only the most recent list: some older lists still exist. Some also argue that the proper way to assign gemstones is according to astrological sign and not month.

Delicious Jewelry Designer Sheilah Of Ssheilah jewelry & accessories
Desert Ironwood and Elk Antler Jewelry -- and More
A bit about Sheilah:
We love love making things, going places and eating great food. We're currently in Cheyenne, Wyoming - we love the Front Range and all it has to offer, everything from excellent coffee in downtown Denver to hiking in the Snowies to following dinosaur tracks in the Black Hills.
Much of our jewelry is made with nickel-silver, an alloy of nickel, zinc and copper that has a deep sheen and polishes to a high gleam. We also use several composite minerals, such as malachite, red jasper and onyx.
Sunset in Wyoming - Necklace
Spring Storm Necklace
We use ground-harvested western elk antler in some of our jewelry as well. Elk shed their antlers every year in the late fall as part of their natural mating cycle. People in Wyoming and other western states wander through the wilderness picking up the dropped antlers to be used for jewelry, furniture and decorations.
Western Elk Antler Pendant Earrings
Men's Western Elk Antler Ear Stud
Desert Ironwood is one of the rarest and most beautiful hardwoods in North America. Desert ironwood is similar to cats-eye stone in its translucency and has a lovely, intricate grain. The nickel-silver pattern in the jewelry is hand-inlaid into the ironwood.

Welcome a special bundle of McLovin' ~ Isabella Rose
Shannon went into labor Friday was admitted to hospital for delivery on Saturday.
By Monday morning Mom and Dad found out that baby had serious complications.
There was a blockage in the bowels and baby was swept out of their arms before she was 24hrs old.
They took baby to Children's Hospital for testing.
Devastated mom and dad said goodbye to the baby they had just said hello to.
Shannon with major surgery performed hours earlier was not able to leave the hospital to be with her baby. She was distraught and totally heart broken. There is no soothing that ache in the heart. Dad was torn between taking care of his 2 girls and the weight was unbearable to say the least.
Doctors at Children's ran tests on Isabella and by Thursday they determined she had Hirschsprung's.
Surgery was scheduled for Friday.
Surgery was a success. Couldn't have asked for more, per docs: it was best scenario in a bad situation.
We were all relieved and elated to know our newest family member would life a long healthy life.
She needed to eat and have a bowel movement before Mom and Dad could take her home.
Eating was no problem for her. She had not been allowed a breast or bottle for 5 days! She inhaled Shannon's breast milk like there was no tomorrow.
Then came the wait for poo. Everyone was chattering about when poo was going to happen.
We called it the "Poo Movement" lol
And she did poo!!!!
We took a pic of the poopy diaper, we'll save you from that, but it was so exciting we sent the pic to everyone. The text replies were hilarious.
Finally thumbs up from docs to take out stomach tube.
Baby went straight for her hand.
Baby girl dressed and ready to go home.
At home finally with mom and dad on her 1 week birthday. A lot has happened in this strong little girls life already. So the first bath was very exciting for us. Not her. She was not happy.
Chillaxin at home, bathed and smelling oh so delicious.
Welcome to our hearts Isabella Rose, aka Izzybits, Izzybutt, Bella, Mamaw's sug sug sugar and many many more terms of endearment.

Finally on Sunday after all her efforts docs determined Shannon had to have a c section.
Baby decided she liked the uterus, turned herself sideways and hanging on for dear life, refused to come down the birth canal.
