What is your birthstone?
Birthstone is associated with the birth month of a person. A birthstone is believed to bring fortune, health, and good luck to the person. Each month has different birthstones associated to it; that includes traditional birthstone, the modern birthstone, mystical birthstone, zodiac birthstone and more. In India, it is a common practice to wear birthstone in the form of jewellery, as it brings good luck to people.
Birth star and other parameters relating to a person are determined by processing the horoscope using a system called Nirayana (the Hindu system of Astrology). It is very important to determine the birth star because the birth stars or constellations are each ruled by their respective planets. As such the gemstone recommended for each planet becomes the birthstone for the respective birth star.
