There are months that have more than one birthstone. June is one of them - it actually has three birthstones to choose from! This is why June birthstone jewelry means so many different, yet precious options. June birthday stones are: pearl, moonstone and alexandrite. Even though pearls are quite popular in the world of jewelry, moonstone and alexandrite are rather rare and desirable - especially alexandrite stones because they change color based on the lighting. However, among all three June stones and crystals, pearls have been the most admired and even worshipped. This birthstone for June is truly unique because it's the only gemstone formed within a living creature.
Besides pearls, you can select moonstone or alexandrite. Moonstone is famous for its adularescence - a special glow caused by the light that appears to billow across the stone. Moonstone June birthstone jewelry is believed to bring great luck and it's often associated with passion, love and fertility. The stone is a bit fragile though, so if you're looking for a bit more durable birthstone for the month of June, choose alexandrite. It's a very rare gemstone that changes color in different lighting. The color varies from green to blue and from an intense red to purple. Some alexandrites also have the so-called cat's-eye effect.
