What is the birthstone for June?

June babies are fortunate to have two birthstones, each with its own distinctive allure. Alexandrite, a relatively rare gemstone, is known for its remarkable color-changing properties. It captivates with its ability to display a range of colors, transitioning from a vibrant green in daylight to a mesmerizing reddish-purple under incandescent light. This enchanting play of colors symbolizes balance and harmony, making Alexandrite an ideal choice for those who strive for equilibrium in their lives.

Pearls, on the other hand, are organic gemstones formed within oysters and other mollusks. They have been treasured throughout history for their elegance and timeless beauty. Pearls are renowned for their lustrous, iridescent glow and come in a variety of colors, including classic white, pink, black, and even rare golden hues. They symbolize purity, wisdom, and serenity, making them a meaningful gift for loved ones who appreciate grace and sophistication.
